The season finale of NCIS: NEW ORLEANS continues its allegorical trip down “The River Styx,” also the name of tonight’s Part II episode. At the end of last week’s Part I, Pride (Scott Bakula) was on his knees living through the nightmare that has plagued him all season…his own death. In Greek mythology, the Styx is the river between Earth and the underworld, Hades. The underworld is guarded by Cerberus, a three-headed dog that prevents the dead from escaping Hades. The metaphor has not been lost on Dwayne. Since the surfacing of Walker and Apollyon, Pride has been barraged by dreams, visions and hallucinations of his own death, as if Cerberus, himself, is preventing Dwayne from escaping his spiral toward self-destruction.

Pride and Lasalle (Lucas Black) left NCIS: NEW ORLEANS for South Ossetia (part of the former Soviet Union) last week on a covert mission. Their off-book objective is to rescue Gregorio’s ex-boss, the FBI’s Raymond Isler (recurring guest star, Derek Webster) who was captured during a task force operation. Back in New Orleans, the NCIS team supports Pride and Lasalle from a distance and it works to locate the mole who is feeding information to Apollyon. Part I ended with Isler dying or dead in a boat and Pride’s nightmare evolving into reality…Avery Walker’s (recurring guest star Tim Griffin) gun pointed at his head and Dwayne’s destruction brought about by Apollyon (recurring guest star Amy Rutberg). Will Apollyon, named after the angel of destruction in Greek mythology, drag NCIS: NEW ORLEANS into the abyss, starting with Pride? Or will the river, like the Styx and the Greek goddess for which the river is named, rush to the aid of Zeus (aka Pride) and deliver him from destruction.

If Pride survives, will his tendency to act as if he is invulnerable, push him toward more reckless behavior? Perhaps Pride will heed the story of Achilles, who had been dipped in the River Styx as a baby to make him invulnerable. Unfortunately for Achilles, his mother held on to him by his heel during the dip, leaving that one spot vulnerable and ended up being his undoing. During the Trojan War, his enemy shot him in the heel with a poisonous arrow, killing the almost-immortal Achilles. The Greek poet, Homer, expounded the anger and pride of Achilles in his epic works, THE ILIAD and THE ODESSY. How’s that for a season metaphor? A man named Pride and a team that is his Achilles’s heel.

“The River Styx, Part II” was written by Christopher Silber and directed by James Whitmore, Jr. The season finale of NCIS: NEW ORLEANS airs tonight (May 14) at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS in the U.S. and at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Global TV in Canada.

If you loved Vice Principals and Eastbound and Down, HBO is delivering more good news: The network just ordered a new Danny McBride comedy called The Righteous Gemstones. The comedy about televangelists stars John Goodman alongside Edi Patterson, Adam Devine, Cassidy Freeman, Tony Cavalero.

According to HBO, it’s a “half-hour comedy about a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work — all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” via Deadline:

McBride stars as Jesse Gemstone, Eli’s eldest son and heir to the throne who walks in his father’s shadow while simultaneously blazing his own path. He also fancies himself a maverick in the ministry game, taking what Eli has built and expanding it for a more modern audience.

Edi Patterson is set as Judy Gemstone, the daughter of Eli and Amy Leigh; Adam Devine plays Kelvin Gemstone, Eli and Amy’s youngest who’s the edgy one; Cassidy Freeman is Amber Gemstone, wife of Jesse Gemstone; Tony Cavalero is Keefe Chambers, an ex-Satanist saved by Kelvin. Tim Baltz is Judy’s fiancé BJ, and GregAlan Williams plays Martin Imari, a conservative Kenyan and Eli’s right hand.

If it’s anything like McBride’s previous work on HBO, I’m expecting a riotous amount of snake charming and church jokes.

The Gospel according to Danny McBride is a gospel I can firmly get behind.

This week on Last Man Standing, Mike refuses to grieve his late father Bud — that is, until Bud pays him a visit from beyond the grave. What follows is a conversation that father and son never had when Bud was still alive.

As revealed in “Man vs. Myth,” Bud died four months ago, and Mike has yet to sort through his father’s belongings. Ryan stops by with paperwork for Bud’s Buds, but Mike wants nothing to do with it. In fact, he’s determined to sell the pot dispensary and do away with his father’s legacy. The next day, Kristin approaches Mike at work and proposes that she and Ryan take over Bud’s Buds, but Mike holds firm on his decision to sell. An upset Kris storms out of Mike’s office, saying she can’t believe she cares more about Bud than his own son.

Later that night, Mike returns home and lets Vanessa know that goodwill will be stopping by to collect Bud’s junk. In response, Vanessa confronts her husband about refusing to grieve his late father, but Mike insists he’s fine. “What’s there to say about him?” Mike asks. “He was a lousy father who dropped dead at a bowling alley.” And just when he thinks he’s escaped discussing dear ol’ dad, he enters the garage to find Bud’s ghost waiting to have a talk with him.

There, Mike scolds Bud, telling Dad that he was a distant, uninvolved parent. “I am who I am despite how you raised me,” he says, “not because of it.” But at the end of the day, Mike is most upset because Bud never said “I love you.” The father and son say they were both going to eventually, but ultimately waited until it was too late.

Later, Kris comes to apologize to Mike for lashing out at work. Mike accepts her apology, then hands her the paperwork to take over Bud’s Buds. Afterwards, Kris explains why Bud was her hero, revealing to Mike that she first confided in her grandfather when she found out she was pregnant at 17. At the time, she worried how Mike would react, but Grandpa assured her that Mike would love her even more if she went to him and told him the truth. Mike gets weepy-eyed, and tells Kris he loves her.

The following afternoon, goodwill shows up to retrieve Bud’s things. Mike tells them to take all the boxes, but holds onto his father’s favorite chair.

Elsewhere in the episode, Kyle is settling into his new gig in personnel, but still feels out of place behind a desk. In an effort to help boost his confidence, Mandy gives her husband a makeover, which doesn’t go over well; he shows up to work the next day in a shirt and tie… and short shorts. After Ed and Chuck tease him, a newly confident Kyle stands firm with Mandy and says he’ll be dressing himself from here on out.

By now, you've probably watched Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" video so many times that it's basically on a loop in your head, eliminating all need for YouTube. And one of the most notable parts of the vid—other that Kris Jenner's immortal appearance—was when Ariana flipped through the pages of her Mean Girls-inspired Burn Book, revealing entries for her exes Pete Davidson, Big Sean, and Ricky Alvarez. But not included? Rapper Mac Miller.

Because instead of flipping to a page in the book when singing the line "wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, 'cause he was an angel," Ariana looks to the sky:

She also hit up Twitter to explain her reasoning a few days ago, revealing that her late ex's photo isn't in the "Thank U, Next" book because it's on her bedside table instead (though it doesn't appear to be visible in the video).

So. Much. �. Watch the full video for "Thank U, Next" below.
