What to watch on Thursday, May 7...


7:30pm, Cartoon Network
Adventure Time
"Graybles 1000+" finds Cuber stranded on an alien world, with only his trusty bag of Graybles and his wits to help him survive. That's followed by BMO welcoming some artists to the treehouse in "Chips and Ice Cream."


SEASON 8 FINALE, 8pm, CBS
The Big Bang Theory
Sheldon, anxious to get on with all the olding and newing and borrowing and blueing, presses Leonard and Penny to set their wedding date in "The Commitment Determination." Could his newfound urgency have anything to do with an unexpected twist in his own relationship with Amy?


8pm, The CW
The Vampire Diaries
As Alaric and Jo get ready to tie the knot, Elena and Bonnie help the blushing bride tend to some last minute preparations in "I"ll Wed You in the Golden Summertime." In less celebratory affairs, Caroline returns to Mystic Falls and starts to atone for her humanity-less havoc, the Salvatore boys take a road trip, and Bonnie asks Matt for help with a preemptive strike on Lily.


8pm & 9pm, Fox
Bones
"The Lost in the Found" centers on the death of a private school student who shared much in common with the teenage Brennan. Then in "The Verdict in the Victims," Brennan has a hunch that serial killer Alex Rockwell may be innocent—but the team only has 48 hours to find out for sure before he's put to death.


8pm, ABC
Grey's Anatomy
In "Time Stops," the docs must put their grieving on the shelf after a disaster strikes Grey Sloane. Of course, it's been more than five minutes since disaster last struck, so they were pretty much overdue.


9pm, ABC
Scandal
In defiance of the White House, Vice President Ross enlists Olivia to defend a woman in the Navy in "A Few Good Women." Elsewhere, Mellie hits a few speedbumps on her road to the Senate while Quinn and Huck hunt for more information about B613.


9pm, NBC
The Blacklist
Liz and Ressler confer with Russian counterintelligence to get the skinny on a formidable assassin in "Karakurt." In the process, they also learn a thing or two about Liz's mother.


9pm, The CW
Reign
Troops land on the castle's doorstep thanks to Condé's betrayal in "The Siege," forcing Mary and Francis to set their disputes aside and defend the realm. In clashes involving fewer pointy objects, Catherine resolves to teach Narcisse a lesson about loyalty, while Bash welcomes Delphine to the castle.


SEASON 2 FINALE, 10pm, Sundance
The Red Road
Harold and Kopus track down Junior in Connecticut in "Shadow Walker," while Rachel takes on parenting duties and Jean lashes out.


SERIES FINALE, 10pm, USA
Dig
As Peter tries to thwart the Order of Moriah's apocalyptic designs in "Armageddon Protocol," a trapped Lynn finds a way to seize the initiative. Meanwhile, Billingham detects a flaw in his plan.


10pm, CBS
Elementary
Beekeeping bigwig Sutton Foster helps Holmes and Watson investigate the death of a member of Holmes' online apiarist community in "Absconded." (The killer probably isn't the same Bug-Eyed Bandit who descended on The Flash's Central City a few weeks back, but you never know. Supervillains like to get around.) In less bee-lligerent matters, Gregson asks Joan's help with an off-the-books probe.


10pm, ABC
American Crime
The ramifications of Aubry's statement are felt, damaging Matt's cause and sending Barb reeling while wiping out the value of Hector's testimony. Meanwhile, Carter gets a new lease on life and Alonzo's family rallies to Tony's cause.


10pm, Syfy
Olympus
Medea and Aegeus urge Hero to solve the riddle of "The Lexicon," hoping he'll live up to his name and save Athens in the process. But Hero has his doubts about their true intentions.


10pm, Spike
Lip Sync Battle
Stephen Merchant takes on Malin Akerman. I've been straining to think of a connection between these two, and the best I've come up with is that Merchant co-created The Office which starred Martin Freeman who's also in Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch who was in that Alan Turing movie with Matthew Goode who was Ozymandias in Watchmen alongside Akerman's Silk Spectre. Also, I guess they're both kinda tall and blonde. Yeah, let's go with that, that's simpler.


10pm, FX
The Comedians
With Josh rumored to be up for a movie role in "Go for Gad," his resulting ego trip vexes BIlly.


10:30pm, FX
Louie
In "Untitled [TBD??]," Jane pays a visit to the doctor. Which doctor, you may ask? J.? Doom? Feelgood? Any of these may be possibilities based on the limited information I possess, so keep your fingers crossed for your favorite.
