Early in the finale, Alice learns the truth about her dog's death (for real this time). It turns out, her mother-in-law Patty isn't responsible for the murder, as we previously thought in Episode 11. The dog killer is actually Marilyn, the garden club's president.
And, like the other Grosse Pointe death, it wasn't totally on purpose. Marilyn had found her cat being attacked by another animal in the dark and shot her gun in the direction of the threat, accidentally killing Alice's furry friend. And once Alice learns the full truth, she gets a guilty conscience about all that has happened. She calls Brett, admitting there might be feelings between them, and then she does something that could change the course of the series: She heads to the police station.
She says she's done something they should know about, and prepares to give a statement. As she sits down to presumably confess about her father-in-law's demise, Joel tries, but fails, to interrupt her. Meanwhile, the rest of the group finds Keith's body — which had been moved by Kenny — and relocates his corpse to the compost bin in the garden.
The episode ends with one final time jump, and this time, a carved pumpkin signals the shift, reading: 'Next Season.' We see our three faithful gardeners — Birdie, Brett and Catherine — chastising someone for breaking their trust. The person's identity is concealed by a costume, but it seems like it's probably Alice. Then again, we didn't predict Quiche would be Keith, so the series could throw a curveball. After all, we don't know exactly what happened with Alice at the police station, and we aren't sure if 'that tweaker gas station guy' has said anything more about the night of the gala and that stolen bracelet. Is it actually Kenny? Could it be Joel? Gas station guy? It's anybody's guess!

Last Surviving Cast Member of 'Hogan's Heroes' Passes Away at 89
Last Surviving Cast Member of 'Hogan's Heroes' Passes Away at 89 originally appeared on Parade. Kenneth Washington, best known for his starring role on CBS's classic sitcom Hogan's Heroes, passed away on July 18. At the time of his death, the late actor was 89-years-old. Born on October 19, 1935, Washington first entered the entertainment industry in the mid 1950s. Though he occasionally ventured into film with movies like the Jerry Lewis comedy Hook, Line & Sinker or 1973's Westworld, the actor would become more readily known for his roles on television, including guest appearances in Star Trek, Petticoat Junction and I Dream of Jeannie. After making his television debut on the family drama Daktari, Washington went to make eight appearances as police officer Miller in the NBC police drama, Adam-12. Following this, he was cast in a lead role in CBS's Hogan's Heroes, a fan-favorite sitcom following a group of WW2 Allied POWs in an Axis prison camp. In the context of the show, Washington portrayed the character of Sergeant Richard Baker. Succeeding Staff Sergeant James "Kinch" Kinchloe's place after actor Ivan Dixon left the series following its fifth season, Baker acted as the main underground radio operator of the camp and Colonel Robert Hogan's (Bob Crane) de facto second in command. Sadly, Washington's role in the series would last for only a single year, with CBS electing to cancel Hogan's Heroes after its sixth season aired on the network. Following his time on the series, Washington continued to work in television for the remaining two decades, guest starring in episodes of Police Story, The Rockford Files and A Different World before his retirement in 1989. On July 18, he was found to have passed away at his home in Beverly Hills, California. Washington is survived by his wife Alice Marshall; his siblings Johnnie and Aaliyah Akbar; his three children (Kim Lee, Kenneth Jr. and Quianna Stokes-Washington); his three grandchildren; and his four great-grandchildren. Last Surviving Cast Member of 'Hogan's Heroes' Passes Away at 89 first appeared on Parade on Jul 24, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants to Bring Back Every Dead Buffy Character in Reboot — Who Do You Want to Return?
The Chosen One has shared some fresh teases about Hulu's highly anticipated reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. During the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival, Sarah Michelle Gellar let a few new details slip as to what fans can expect from the forthcoming series. 'It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,' the actress said at the festival, per Vanity Fair. 'We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.'

Returning?! Guess anything goes if you're living on a Hellmouth. Gellar also discussed the creative team's attempt to modernize the series for today's social media-obsessed world. 'One of the surprising aspects of Buffy is that it's always been a crossover series,' she added. 'We're trying to figure out how to modernize the themes of the series, especially what it means to feel like an outsider in a world dominated by social media. What we want to explore are the space-time boundaries that affect society today.' Gellar was lured back into Buffy's knee-high leather boots by Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), whose original pitch forms the reboot's basic premise. 'For so many years, I said no to a possible return of the series,' said Gellar. 'I didn't want to reintroduce something we had already seen. I waited for the right time to come. Then Chloé, a big Buffy fan, proposed the project to me and I accepted. The gestation was long. It's been three years and we're still working on it.' The Buffy follow-up was officially announced back in February with Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face) attached as writers, showrunners and executive producers. Zhao is attached to direct and executive-produce, with additional EPs including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton. (Berman, the Kuzuis and Parton all executive-produced the original series.) Gellar will reprise her former role in a recurring capacity rather than a leading one. In May, Ryan Kiera Armstrong was announced as the series' new slayer. Armstrong's character's name was not released. In March, TVLine exclusively reported that the character was a brainy and cerebral teen named Nova, though we noted that the intel was preliminary and subject to change. So, let's talk, Scoobies.
