Weekend TV watch
Swan lands her Hook — and it’s something to sing about, literally, as the long-awaited musical episode of “Once
Upon a Time” (Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC) finally drops. In a flashback, a wish from the Charmings has everyone breaking out into song, including the Evil Queen, who is so not happy about it. While Emma and her pirate captain walk down the aisle in present-day Storybrooke, the Black Fairy and Gold look to crash the festivities.
How did a Tennessee teacher manage to kidnap one of his students and evade police for almost six weeks?
“20/20” (tonight at 10 on ABC) talks to the families of both perpetrator and victim and uncovers a complicated tale of abuse. The documentary “Batman

DC now acknowledges the work of Finger, who created the Joker, Catwoman and more. The program streams on Hulu tomorrow, which also happens to be Free Comic Book Day across the nation.
