9pm, CBS

9pm, Fox
The Last Man on Earth
"Phil continues to live in Tucson," helpfully offers the logline for "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Mooovin' In." Seriously, by the end of the season, episode descriptions for this show will be whittled down to just "Phil." If they're feeling generous.
9pm, ABC
Secrets and Lies
Ben accepts police protection for Christy and the kids, though not for himself, when he becomes the subject of a vigilante's harassment in "The Confession."

Holy heck, House of Lies episode titler, please pop a Xanax or something. Then in "It's a Box Inside a Box Inside a Box, Dipsh*t" (seriously, buddy, maybe a glass of pinot and a warm bath? Simmer down already), Marty prepares to take K&A into the big leagues, Jeannie gives birth, and Roscoe faces the music.

The Royals
The Queen and Princess Eleanor put on competing fashion shows, which I'm pretty sure is the exact way the War of the Roses got started back in the day. Meanwhile in "We Are Pictures or Mere Beasts," Prince Liam escapes a close call.
