What to watch on Wednesday, August 27...
SUMMER FINALE, 8pm, ABC Family

SEASON 1 FINALE, 8:30pm, ABC Family
Mystery Girls
A Mystery Girls commercial puts Nick's life in danger, but at least it doesn't overdramatize everything the way most of ABC Family's episode promos do. While Nick tries to elude a mob hitman in "The Killer Returns," Charlie tries to allay her husband's concerns about her dangerous line of work.
SEASON 1 FINALE, 9pm, WE
The Divide
Terry bunks at Christine's place, raising tension between Christine and Danny, in "To Whom Evil Is Done." But hey, after a few wine coolers and a spirited round of "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board," I'm sure everything will smooth right over.
9pm, TNT
Legends
Martin takes on the guise of an arms dealer in order to save a kidnapped chemist in "Lords of War." In the process, he strikes up an affair with an alluring fellow weapons merchant, because eHarmony's got nothing on the international arms trade when it comes to potential for love connections.

Operation Maneater
Conversation wildlife experts using cutting-edge technology to seek peaceful solutions to the eternal struggle between man and beast.

Franklin & Bash
In my line of work, people are always coming up to me on the street and asking, "Andy, when will Mike Tyson finally guest-star on Franklin & Bash?" And now I can finally tell them: Tonight, friends.
