At the funeral for Kevin Stern, Lily Miran reveals that she has survived both the bus accident, and her night with RJ, who continues to find himself torn between his desire for Jenny Swanson and Lily's seemingly undying love/lust for him, all while Pinkerton High tries to raise funds for a new bus and he tries to raise funds for her treatment.

Ask Matt: The Glades, The Gates, Mad Men, Hawaii Five-0 and More!

Send questions to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter!Question: I am a long-time follower of your columns and reviews, and I just want to thank you for all the great series you have steered me toward over the years. The latest is Breaking Bad, which I never would have gone near if not for your raves. What an amazing show. Now I'm wondering if you have been watching The Glades and what you think of its development. Being from South Florida, I am always curious about shows located there. Most shows don't get the feel of the place (we won't even speak of that CSI show), but this one seems to be doing it right so far. And talk about someone coming out of left field: Where did this amazing guy Matt Passmore come from? Because I know he is Australian, I'll forgive his lack of a Chicago accent, but he has developed such an interesting and believable character (thank you also, writers) and is such a charismatic lead. After Lost, I never thought I could appreciate Kiele Sanchez in anything, but I am enjoying her performance as well. Thanks again for all the enjoyable hours of TV and please keep writing your columns! — SusanMatt Roush: Well, thanks for that encouraging feedback. With The Glades, I'll fess up that I haven't seen every episode...
