For one week only, ABC Thursdays are back to normal. Ugly Betty makes its return from its Spring hiatus — just in time for Private Practice to air its second-season finale.

When we left off with Betty, the Mode staff was hard at work on the annual sex issue. In tonight's episode, we learn the issue was a flop, leaving Mode in dire financial circumstances (the economy is everywhere!). Conveniently, Betty's boyfriend just happens to be, y'know, loaded. Wonder if that's going to cause any tension at all?

Meanwhile, on Private Practice, Violet's about to give birth, and that prompts her to make a decision between Pete and Sheldon. But things take a turn for the dark when a past patient shows up at Oceanside, putting Violet and her baby in grave danger. I chatted with Amy Brenneman about this episode a few days ago, and I'll be sharing some of her thoughts on her storyline later today, so stay tuned for that.

In between the two, we have another new episode of Grey's Anatomy, in which Izzie's mom — played by Sharon Lawrence, last seen as Megan's mom on Privileged — comes to town to pay a surprise visit to her ailing daughter. She's not the only parent in town: Thatcher Grey turns up at Seattle Grace with a thing or two to say to his daughters.

Sounds like quite a night all around, eh? To check out a clip from each of tonight's episodes, just read more.
