There, our hero is reunited with Mary (returning guest star Wendy Crewson), who viewers last saw in Episode 2. At the time, Colter believed that Russell (Jensen Ackles) was responsible for killing Dad, and Mom did little to dissuade him. In fact, she insisted that Colter dodge his brother's calls.
Several weeks later, the Shaw siblings reunited and cleared the air. Russell swore that he did not kill Dad; there was someone else in the woods that night, and whoever it was probably pushed Dad to his death.
By then, we knew that Ashton spent seven years working as a covert government contractor. We also knew that he had enemies. Come Season 2, Colter and Russell were confronted by a government spook who knew an awful lot about Dad. And this week, younger sister Dory (Melissa Roxburgh) delivered Colter a file box full of Dad's research on zero point energy — a box that'd previously been left with Lizzy's mom, a former colleague with whom Ashton had an extramarital affair. Was it his research that got him killed?
When Colter is finally reunited with Mary in the Season 2 finale, she insists that there's a lot she didn't know about her husband… but she also hasn't given her son a reason to believe her. At one point in the following promo, we see a teary-eyed Colter hold someone at gunpoint. Is it possible that Mom is staring down the barrel of his firearm?
Watch the finale trailer above, then leave a comment and share your theories about Ashton Shaw's murder. Do you think we'll finally receive answers at the end of Season 2?

‘Star Trek' Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds'
A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds' up-and-down third season, 'A Space Adventure Hour' delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail' (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical episode of Strange New Worlds. Not in that 'oh, something's going to be kooky and fun!' way that you might expect after last week's dire-stakes episode and the season's general back-and-forth in tone swaps so far, but because we do not open on the Enterprise, or with her crew at all: instead, on the personal log of Commander Kirk, aboard the U.S.S. Farragut. At which point the planet the Farragut was monitoring—and Kirk was butting heads with his captain, V'Rel (Zoe Doyle), over beaming down and surveying—explodes. Just like last week, everyone immediately locks in, especially Jim, when V'Rel is incapacitated by the extreme damage caused by the Farragut's proximity to an exploding planet. But things go somehow even more badly when, of course, the Enterprise beams to respond to the Farragut's distress signal—beaming over an assist team of Nurse Chapel, Scotty, Spock, and Uhura. As everyone races into action and Kirk begins slowly realizing that he's getting the command experience he's been waiting for at the worst possible time, the vessel responsible for destroying a planet in a single blast, a massive, tendriled junk ship comes flying along and gobbles the Enterprise up before promptly warping away. The Farragut is alone, and barely holding together, let alone capable of pursuit. It's operating on a skeleton crew, most beamed away to Enterprise before its abduction. And James T. Kirk is staring at a captain's chair, with Mr. Spock, Mr. Scott, Uhura, and Chapel at his side. If 'A Space Adventure Hour' was an episode talking about the metanarrative about the birth of Star Trek as a television show, then suddenly, you realize: this is an episode about the birth of Star Trek, the team that we know will go on to appear in the original series. At long last, the crucible that will one day forge one of the franchise's defining heroes has begun. So it's great then that 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail' is really an episode about rocking Kirk's shit for 45 minutes. The episode splits between the Farragut and the captured Enterprise, disabled in the interior of the junk ship as its systems are drained of power, effectively doing one of Strange New Worlds' 'disaster on a spaceship' episodes twice over. Kirk has to rally a group of officers who don't really know, and don't really trust, him as he tries to figure out what kind of a leader he is in time to rescue Enterprise and stop this junker ship on a collision course with destroying another world called Sullivan's Planet. Pike, meanwhile, has to deal with shadowy infiltrators sucking his ship dry, a ticking time bomb that will kill both the Enterprise crew and the Farragut's wounded. The stuff aboard Enterprise is fun and definitely tense, even if it is also definitely the b-plot of the episode. Pike and La'an have the mystery of the junkers to solve, Carol Kane gets to ham it up and get everyone to wire up rotary telephones to overcome the ship's power loss and communications blockage. There's intrigue and whimsy, but still, the focus of 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail' is clear: this is the making of Kirk's moment. It gives Wesley material that, for the most part up to now, he's lacked the chance to chew on. Most of Kirk's appearances on Strange New Worlds have been technicalities: alternate realities, through the lens of episodes like the musical or 'Space Adventure Hour' and its holodeck metanarrative (thankfully, Wesley does not go hard on the Shatnerisms as he was encouraged to then). This is Kirk, the man who is going to become Captain Kirk, and he has been thrust into an incredible challenge, with a team that he doesn't know yet and arguably before he may even have really wanted to be in it. Thankfully, Strange New Worlds realizes that it's important to not suddenly supercharge this character into the man that we already know. We see elements of the man we will come to love in the original Star Trek, his braggadocio and his desire to always challenge and take risks, but crucially, we also see the deeply human elements of Kirk that people often forget in their memories, especially amplified here in his younger self. This is a Kirk that doubts, and loses his cool, and is allowed to react to the stress of the situation he's found himself in, and react poorly, and fairly so given the circumstances. Likewise, this gives the proto-TOS crew that he finds himself leaning on to get the Farragut even remotely close to shipshape a chance to react to this Kirk, and begin to feel out the seeds of what will become their relationships. It's fun to watch Martin Quinn's Scotty absolutely hate working with this guy, a thickheaded commander who wants to push systems an engineer knows can't be pushed, just as it's fun to watch Kirk's relationship with Uhura, and the trust they already established together last season, flourish even further as that bond deepens. It is, of course, also fun to watch the early days of Spock and Kirk's understanding of each other begin to coalesce. That becomes crucial here when the stress does get to Kirk when his plan to juice Farragut's engines almost literally blows up in his and Scotty's faces, leaving the ship dead in the water between the junker ship and its next target at Sullivan's planet, which is home to a pre-warp civilization. Kirk blows up, needing to get off the bridge, and his more senior fellows among the Enterprise crew realize that the young commander is in a very precarious moment. It takes Spock confronting and comforting him, removed from an emotional response to the stress everyone is feeling, to get Kirk to rearticulate and find the confidence he needs to deal with the setbacks and pressure the situation has demanded of him. It's a wonderful moment between the two as they start feeling each other out, how comfortable they can be even in this nascent phase of their relation, what boundaries there still are, and what can be bonded over to create a friendship that we know will span lifetimes. Again, crucially, Strange New Worlds understands here that it cannot just speedrun these characters into their original Trek selves just yet. We can see glimmers of those bonds, but just as it's vital for this episode to give us a Kirk that is flawed and still learning, and willing to both make and accept his mistakes, it's just as vital that we come out of this episode feeling that the crew that will one day serve aboard the Enterprise together are still not yet that crew. They're just closer than they were an episode before. This is the most important thing 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail' arguably needed to nail, and so when the day is saved by some Kirkian ingenuity (and some assists from Scotty, Uhura, Spock, and Chapel) to free the Enterprise and destroy the junker ship before it can consume Sullivan's Planet, we can perhaps forgive that the last twist the episode makes doesn't quite land as effectively as the rest of it does. Amid the destruction of the junker ship, Spock manages to confirm, right as Pike and La'an do, ridding the Enterprise of its last infiltrator, that the mysterious foe they faced was a colony ship of 7,000 human beings, life signs blinking out as the junker ship tears apart. It turns out, as the Enterprise discovers during debrief, the vessel was, in its core form, a ship sent from Earth just after the end of World War III, staffed with scientists who believed that Earth may not be able to recover, and humanity's hope lay in the stars. Whatever happened to them in the generations since to transform their descendants into monstrous, planet-and-ship-devouring scavengers is left unsaid as Kirk's first victory in the chair is tinged with the discomfort that he is responsible for having to have slaughtered thousands of people to save millions, and both the Farragut's interim commander and the Enterprise crew find themselves humbled by the revelation. While it does again build on this episode as not being about the establishment of the legend of Jim Kirk but the flawed and deeply human man that he will come to be (and always was beneath our memory of that legend), what sits as odd in this final twist is the sudden swerve Strange New Worlds has to take to serve it. Would the climax of the episode have labored this consternation if this crew of disenfranchised descendants were early Vulcans, or Romulans, or another Federation species? What if they were some other alien species that we either knew or didn't know? Or is the point meant to be that our deeply human heroes are now touched and aggrieved at the revelation that they have had to kill other humans, specifically, before they could kill them? After all, up to the moment of this revelation 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail', both through its characters and the narrative itself, framed these mysterious junkers as explicitly monstrous, just as this season did with the Gorn in its premiere. They had destroyed worlds, killed countless crews of ships whose vessels were consumed in its growth, and were on the precipice of indiscriminately extinguishing a population in the millions. The fact that it suddenly wants Kirk and the rest of the characters to wrestle with remorse because the perpetrators of these atrocities were human raises some uncomfortable questions about who and what gets to be treated with sympathy on the show that the episode simply does not have time to answer, saving this moment for its very end. But again, for the worse this time, that was never meant to be the focus of this episode. From beginning to end, 'The Sehlat Who At Its Tail' is about the genesis of the unit that would go on to become the original Star Trek, forging them together amid a grand trial. There, at least, it delivers one of the season's best episodes yet, albeit in a slightly compromised form. Want more io9 news?

Jussie Smollett's 2019 Alleged Attack Gets Investigated in Upcoming Netflix Documentary: Watch the Trailer
Netflix has released a trailer for the streaming giant's The Truth About Jussie Smollett? documentary, which is set to uncover all angles of the alleged January 2019 attack against the Empire actor in Chicago. Jussie Smollett has maintained his innocence in the case, as the debate of whether or not the incident was a hoax or a hate crime has continued in the more than six years since the incident. More from Billboard Beats Wireless Earbuds Are Just $59 Right Now - An All-Time Low Price A Series on Flow La Movie's Life Is in the Works: Here's Everything We Know Taylor Swift Says Bad Bunny's 'Happy Gilmore 2' Performance 'Delighted' Her: 'His Comedic Timing Is So Good' 'The villains are the two people who assaulted me, the Chicago Police Department and, if I may be so brave, the mayor,' Smollett told Variety on Wednesday (Aug. 13). 'We're living in a world where the higher-ups, their main mission, in order to do all of the underhanded things that they're doing, is to distract us with the shiny object.' The doc invites various members of law enforcement, journalists, lawyers and investigators to uncover every angle of the case with one goal in mind: to find the truth about what happened on Jan. 29, 2019. Smollett claimed he was the victim of a hate crime executed by two men who tied a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him while screaming things like 'MAGA' and hurling racial and homophobic slurs at him. 'Some things kind of struck me as a little odd,' said former Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson in the trailer. 'We were going through the polar vortex at the time. Who is out in the street with it being cold out there?' Smollett is then shown sitting down for an interview, but the clip ends without revealing what he has to say. The actor was found guilty by a jury in 2021 on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for a false police report. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail but served only six days before being released on bail. Smollett also reached a settlement with the city of Chicago to pay $50,000 to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts in May. His conviction was ultimately overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court in November. Watch The Truth About Jussie Smollett? trailer below.

Meghan Markle's Netflix Series Faces Backlash Over Chrissy Teigen Guest Spot
Though the second season of Meghan Markle's lifestyle series doesn't debut until later this month, one of the Duchess of Sussex's upcoming guest stars is already drawing a heated reaction. On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled the Season 2 trailer for 'With Love, Meghan,' which hits the streaming platform Aug. 26. In it, Markle can be seen with a number of celebrity pals, including chef David Chang and 'Queer Eye' fashion expert Tan France. Related: Among those also set to appear on the series is Chrissy Teigen. The model and TV personality, who is married to musician John Legend, can be spotted in the trailer joining Markle for what looks like a crafting session. 'Oh my gosh, I could do this every day,' she proclaims. Related: By Thursday, Teigen's appearance in the 'With Love, Meghan' trailer had been met with a fair amount of backlash online, with some calling Markle's decision to include the 'Cravings' author in her lineup of guests 'despicable' and 'a grotesque miscalculation.' 'Netflix should cancel the episode with Chrissy Teigen as she is the ultimate cyber bully,' one person wrote in the comments on Netflix's official YouTube page. 'Netflix is now promoting a cyber bully.' Wrote Jezebel: 'The purported anti-bullying advocate opened the doors of her rich friend's Montecito mansion to one of the internet's most prolific bullies.' Watch the trailer for Season 2 of 'With Love, Meghan' below. Much of the criticism stems from Teigen's previous online exchanges with fellow model and TV personality Courtney Stodden. In 2021, Stodden ― who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns ― gave a lengthy interview to The Daily Beast in which they called out Teigen for routinely harassing them on X, then known as Twitter, while they were still a teenager. 'She wouldn't just publicly tweet about wanting me to take 'a dirt nap' but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,' Stodden, who was 26 at the time of the interview, told the outlet. 'Things like, 'I can't wait for you to die.'' Shortly after Stodden's interview was published, Teigen issued a lengthy apology. 'I'm mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll,' she wrote. 'I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel.' Markle has not yet responded publicly to the criticism. HuffPost has reached out to a representative for Teigen seeking comment, but did not immediately hear back. The trailer for 'With Love, Meghan' was released just days after Netflix announced it had extended its partnership with Markle and her husband, Prince Harry. As some outlets pointed out, however, the new contract wasn't nearly as extensive as the overall deal the Duke and Duchess of Sussex initially struck with the streaming platform in 2020. When the first season of 'With Love, Meghan' premiered earlier this year, reviews were mixed to negative, with some comparing it unfavorably to 'Pamela's Cooking With Love,' a cooking show hosted by actor Pamela Anderson. A particularly stinging review by New York Magazine's Vulture blog suggested the main problem with the series was Markle herself. 'She comes off, in short, like a member of the British royal family: afraid of showing vulnerability, obsessed with appearances, and seeking affirmation from a public she cannot be part of,' the outlet noted. 'Nothing could be weirder or more depressing.'
