Pretty Little Liars
Call it soapy, melodramatic and pulpy if you like, but this guilty pleasure of a series seldom fails to deliver when it comes to a satisfying cliffhanger. While we have few story details in advance of this week’s summer finale, The Darkest Knight, a network news release promises that “all hell breaks loose” as the Liars find themselves forced to confront some of their old foes face-toface. Troian Bellisario, Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson star. (Bravo)
AMERICA’S GOT TALENT

The lucky five from this semifinal who will advance to the finals will be revealed in Wednesday’s live show. (NBC, City)
MOTIVE
It’s the series finale for this homespun crime drama in which the identity of the killer is shown to the viewers at the beginning of the episode but the motive for the murder is what our sleuths determine. In the finale, We’ll Always Have Homicide, the team gets together three years after a killer escapes to close the case. (CTV)

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
In the new episode Estrategia de Entrada, Teresa (Alice Braga) holes up in a warehouse basement to await her next assignment, while a still-wary Camila (Veronica Falcon) concocts a second test of Teresa’s loyalty during a major drug operation.
