The TV Cave’s Daily Watch Guide: Thursday, November 13

Your daily fix of drama, laughs, binges, and a few emotional gut punches—because apparently TV networks don’t want us to sleep.

☕ AFTER MIDNIGHT: Housewives, Heartbreak, and Head Trips

💅 The Real Housewives of Orange County (Bravo, 12:00 AM ET) Part two of the reunion means it’s Tamra versus everyone else, Gina’s still explaining herself, and Jenn’s phone call could be the twist nobody saw coming. If Andy Cohen’s smirk is any indication, it’s about to get messier than an overpoured mimosa at SUR.

🦄 Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake (HBO Max, 3:00 AM ET) Cake’s trying out TV fame while Fionna sulks down memory lane, and Huntress Wizard’s on a solo mission home. Nostalgic chaos with a sprinkle of weird? Count us in.

📚 The Beast in Me (Netflix, Full Season Drop) Claire Danes as a nosy author? Matthew Rhys as a maybe-murderer neighbor? Somebody call Homeland 2.0. This eight-episode mystery screams “cancel your weekend plans.”

🚔 Blue Lights (BritBox, Season 3 Premiere) A Belfast drug bust spirals into a full-blown conspiracy—because apparently even small-time dealers have corporate backing now.

💍 Carl Weber’s The Family Business (BET+) A wedding, a bombshell, and life-changing test results. Your family gatherings could never.

💄 The Kardashians (Hulu) Khloé and Kris are out shopping for a heavenly family home (literally), while Kim’s Hollywood empire teeters on the edge. Just another day in Calabasas.

💔 Married at First Sight (Peacock, Two Episodes) Retreats are supposed to be relaxing—unless you’re married to a stranger. Emotional breakthroughs, awkward silences, and one couple who really should’ve left the retreat in separate cars.

😱 My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story (Paramount+) A true-crime doc that’ll make you triple-check your locks. Eva LaRue’s real-life horror story is both terrifying and inspiring—stream with the lights on.

⚖️ Reasonable Doubt (Hulu, Season 3 Finale) The verdict’s in, hearts are shattered, and Jax’s whole life needs a reboot. If you like your legal dramas with emotional carnage, this is your court date.

💅 The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (Hulu, Season 3 Premiere) #MomTok meets morality meltdown. Influencer secrets, online wars, and more drama than a Utah group chat.

🌍 Tiffany Haddish Goes Off (Peacock, Full Season Drop) Haddish heads to Africa with her besties—and it’s everything you’d expect: wild, hilarious, and totally unfiltered.

🦄 Unicorn Academy: Chapter 4 (Netflix) When the Winter Solstice goes sideways, the Sapphires saddle up to save the day. Pure sparkly chaos for the little ones—or your inner child.

🌆 PRIMETIME: Drama, Disasters, and Domestic Debacles

🚨 9-1-1 (ABC, 8:00 PM) Athena faces ghosts from her past, the 118 faces a major leap forward, and viewers face the fact that this show never takes a night off from emotional whiplash.

💑 Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (CBS, 8:00 PM) Jealousy, pregnancy tests, and in-laws panicking—welcome to every family sitcom ever, but funnier.

🔥 Hell’s Kitchen (FOX, 8:00 PM) License-plate ingredient challenges? Ramsay’s yelling in abbreviations tonight. Expect chaos and overcooked scallops.

🕵️‍♂️ Law & Order (NBC, 8:00 PM) Sports, scams, and a brand-new detective in town. Cue the dun dun—and maybe a few side-eyes from the old guard.

🏈 Thursday Night Football (Prime Video, 8:15 PM) Jets vs. Patriots. Chaos vs. despair. Only one will (barely) win.

👻 Ghosts (CBS, 8:30 PM) Trevor’s parenting style is… questionable, and Jay’s restaurant faces a labor revolt. Ghosts are less spooky than capitalism.

🌙 LATE-NIGHT LINEUP: Explosions, Emotion, and Existential Crises

🚨 9-1-1: Nashville (ABC, 9:00 PM) A distillery disaster, hacking mayhem, and budget cuts—sounds like an average Thursday for emergency responders. Buckle up for the fall finale.

📚 Law & Order: SVU (NBC, 9:00 PM) When a crime novelist rewrites reality, Benson and Fin have to separate fact from fan fiction. The meta-drama is real.

⚖️ Matlock (CBS, 9:00 PM) Matty and Olympia play nun detectives (not kidding), while Sarah stumbles into office secrets. Justice has never been so cardigan-chic.

💪 Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test (FOX, 9:00 PM) Recruits drag tires up mountains, cry over letters from home, and probably regret signing the contract.

🌙 NIGHTCAP: Doctors, Detectives, and Delicious Drama

🕵️‍♀️ Elsbeth (CBS, 10:00 PM) A billionaire’s panic room mystery pulls Elsbeth into one of her most bizarre cases yet—Tony Hale guest stars, so expect peak awkward energy.

💉 Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 10:00 PM) Bus crash chaos, awkward run-ins, and Bailey’s patience being tested harder than a Grey Sloan intern. Classic Grey’s—pass the tissues.

📺 TL;DR: Tonight’s Must-Watch Picks

• Best Binge: The Beast in Me (Netflix) – Danes + Rhys = dark perfection.

• Reality Gold: The Real Housewives of OC Reunion (Bravo) – vintage shade and shocking phone calls.

• Primetime Drama Fix: Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) – because no one does emotional damage like Shonda Rhimes.
