As we approach finale season next month, we're bringing back some of the greatest season-enders of your favorite TV shows. 

Finales come in all shapes and sizes, but most of them are targeted at leaving you in a state of utter shock, begging for summer to be OVER already because reasons! 

These jam-packed episodes bring deaths, resurrections, explosions, and all those other show stopping numbers that leave you twisting and turning, desperate to discover what happened. 

17 Jaw-Dropping Season Finale Cliffhangers

1. The Vampire Diaries Season 3

After a pretty sedate episode, the game changed in the last five minutes of The Vampire Diaries Season 3 finale when Elena and Matt's car drove off a bridge. Our screens cut to black on Elena's corpse surging back to life because, whoops, she'd ingested vampire blood earlier that evening. Enter vampire Elena!

2. The Walking Dead Season 2

The rise of the Ricktatorship plus that little reveal that everyone was infected with the zombie disease was a huge way to end the second season of The Walking Dead. Talk about a game changer! But the real award for this cliffhanger goes to the entrance of Michonne, the mysterious katana wiedling, zombie owning savior!

3. Castle Season 6

We were so close! So close to the dream wedding! Kate was even in her freaking wedding dress, but then a horrifying car crash nearly ruined it all! Who could ever forget the heartbroken look on Kate's face as she found Castle's car engulfed in flames?

4. Grey's Anatomy Season 1

Merder hearts around the world broke into a million tiny pieces when Addison Shepherd showed up in Seattle to reveal that McDreamy was McMarried. McAwkward...

5. Game of Thrones Season 1

The image of a butt naked Daenerys flanked by three baby dragons was possibly the best ending to the best first season in TV history. High praise, but well deserved. It completely changed the mythology of the show, plus it spawned about a thousand Mother of Dragons memes.

6. Supernatural Season 3

After spending an entire year (okay, six months - damn that writer's strike!) trying to save Dean from his hellish fate, the Winchester brothers finally failed. Our last moments of the season were spent with Dean in hell, wondering how on earth he would ever make it out of there!

7. Revenge Season 3

Seeing as the whole show was built around avenging the death of David Clarke, it came as quite the surprise to see him casually stroll in and murder Conrad Grayson in the third season finale. Talk about your major ressurections!

8. The 100 Season 1

Has there ever been a more WTF cliffhanger moment than the infamous White Room? The last two minutes of the first season of The 100 were spent blowing our minds as Clarke woke up in the totally operational Mount Weather, screaming to be let out of her prison. In the immortal words of Jason Rothenberg: BOOM. OUT.

9. Scandal Season 2

Not only was Olivia officially outed to the press as the President's mistress in the last few minutes of the finale, we finally learned just how the nefarious Command was connected to her. He's her FATHER. That is a Star Wars level truth bomb right there.

10. Once Upon a Time Season 3

Elsa's box office success earned her a visit to Storybrooke in the final moments of the Season 3 finale episode. How enjoyable her actual story was... well we'll leave that up to the fans, but you can't deny that was a KILLER way to end the season!

11. NCIS Season 9

Every single member of our team was in peril after this finale, when a bomb went off just outside the office. Gibbs and Abby ducked for cover, McGee got blasted, Tony and Ziva were trapped in an elevator, and Ducky suffered a heart attack after hearing the news. Why NCIS? Why?!

12. How to Get Away with Murder Season 1

After spending a whole season trying to figure out who killed Lila, now we're going to have to wait six months to figure out who killed Rebecca? This is all too much! Our money is on one of the kids, but Frank has proven himself a murderer too. Time will tell!

13. The Originals Season 1

We think The Originals might have gotten the memo that their show needed more Originals because their Season 1 finale brought back a whole bunch of them! This cliffhanger came in two parts, with the resurrection of Esther, and the mystery of which Original brother she brought back from the dead with her!

14. Pretty Little Liars Season 4

We were all screaming right along with the liars as they were chased onto that rooftop by a gun-toting A. Brave as ever, Ezra tackled the hoodie wearing gunman, getting a bullet to the gut in the process. Has a hiatus ever lasted as long as that one? We don't think so.

15. Suits Season 1

Gosh, Trevor was just THE WORST, wasn't he? After going through all that effort to cover Mike's tracks, his Harvard secret still ended up getting spilled when Trevor told Jessica the whole sordid story. How dare he call himself best friend material.

16. Grey's Anatomy Season 9

Grey's Anatomy gets a second mention because we have never been more terrified for a character's fate than when Richard Webber ended the ninth season electorcuted in the hospital basement, with no one around to even know he was hurt!

17. Criminal Minds Season 3

BEST. CLIFFHANGER. EVER. And by best, we also mean worst. Each member of the BAU is seen entering a different black SUV, and every door closes shut behind them. Cut to an ambiguous shot of one of those SUVs bursting into flames! With no clue which car expldoded, the fans were left to wonder who had gotten blown up and who had escaped certain death!

The End.

Is Harvey Specter about to meet his match?

USA Network sources have confirmed that Christina Cole will recur on Suits Season 5 as a Harvard-educated psychiatrist named Dr. Paula Agard.

The character will specialize in high end corporate consulting, becoming the perfect match for Harvey and playing a game of cat and mouse with him throughout upcoming episodes.

It's unclear, however, whether Dr. Agard will actually serve as Harvey's personal therapist.

The veteran actress is best known for roles on Chaos and The Assets and she will debut on the very first episode of Suits Season 5.

Suits Season 5 will premiere on June 24 and focus on a “shaken firm,” according to the official USA synopsis.

Having left Harvey after more than a decade as colleagues, Donna will be working for his long-time rival Louis; while Jessica will adjust to being single and Mike and Rachel will be over the moon after his marriage proposal.

Check out the following amazing calendar images and remember to watch Suits online if you need to catch up prior to this summer.

The Office's Pam Beesly once said, "I don't think it's many little girls' dream to be a receptionist."

I don't know if that's necessarily true. Once upon a time, it was kind of exciting to imagine working in an office in an administrative capacity, but the job has never gotten the respect it deserves.

To that end, those who occupy the available positions have become stronger, sassier and more efficient. In many cases, their bosses – if not the company they work for – would fall apart without their presence. Think Della Street on Perry Mason and Donna Paulsen on Suits.

For every fabulous, go-to wonder there's a snarky lazy-bones like Karen from Will & Grace or Cheryl on Archer. Find out who else makes the cut and give a shout out to some of the most memorable administrative employees in television history.

There are some fun similarities running through throughout the characters. Not only are there a lot of sexy, sassy and capable types, but red hair is a common theme.

Judy Greer happens to play two of the characters in our slideshow and David Spade has the honor of playing both an executive assistant and the boss of one of the other assistants on the list!

When you flip around, do you find anything else that stands out? Did we miss any of the admins throughout history that stand out in your memory? Let us know. No matter your profession, work hard and play harder.

What is it about sex in inappropriate locations that makes it so hot?

Is it the threat of getting caught? Or is it just about two people who simply can't wait until they get home to have each other?

Whatever it is, these TV characters make a habit of heating things up at work. Whether it be an exam room, an elevator, a file room, or a museum, they've got it covered.

This Sexy Saturday we're exploring those improper but oh-so-seductive moments on the job when waiting is just not an option.

It is certainly hard to blame these characters for their lack of self control when moments such as these arise. Some were the result of years of pent up sexual tension, some a means of escape, and some were a means of gaining information. Some led to meaningful, long term relationships while others were one time only flings. All are worth a second...or third...or fourth look. 

So which of these encounters gets you all hot and bothered? Which steamy work place hook-ups did we leave out? Hit the comments and let us know!

We’re on the red carpet with Rick Hoffman and Gabriel Macht for this exclusive interview.

What can fans expect from new episodes of Suits? Can Louis ever really be happy? Will there be a lady in Harvey's life?

Will Macht answer any questions on his own or will Hoffman continually serve as his quasi mouthpiece?

We get to the bottom of all these questions and many more in the above interview. Check it out now and prepare for the return of Suits on June 24.

This (not) just in: Mike has a checkered history on Suits.

How will this impact the character on Suits Season 5? How much time will be spent on his engagement? How much will he be drawn into the ongoing Harvey/Louis drama?

We're on the red carpet of the USA Upfront presentation in New York City for this exclusive interview with Patrick J. Adams, as he spills some Suits secrets in relation to his character and the June 24 premiere.

See what he has to say above and then go check out this hilarious Q&A with Rick Hoffman and Gabriel Macht as well.

When we left off on the Suits Season 4 finale, Donna was in a dark place. 

And things aren't about to get "rosy" for the character any time soon, either.

So teases Sarah Rafferty in the attached exclusive interview, which we conducted with the star on the red carpet of the USA Network Upfront in New York City.

Along with talking about Donna's relationship with Harvey and what we can expect this summer, Rafferty gets us far too excited in this Q&A about the possibility of a Donna calendar.

See what she had to say about it and then check out our interview with Patrick J. Adams.

Come June 24, fans may be crying tears of joy when Suits Season 5 kicks off on USA.

But Gina Torres and Meghan Markle warn us in the following interview that different kinds of tears may be on the way for certain characters this summer.

They also make us wonder what will happen now that Donna has left to work with Louis. What will this mean for Harvey and those around him?

Check out the exclusive Q&A now, listen to Markle gush over her new website and then also watch our red carpet interview with Sarah Rafferty.

After many agonizing months of withdrawal, we're finally back with an all new season of Suits! In this trailer for Suits Season 5 Episode 1, Donna makes the big move to become Louis' new assistant, and the entire office is left scrambling in the wake of that decision, Harvey most of all.

His stern order to have her clean out her desk might have their normally friendly relationship on the rocks!

Rachel and Mike's relationship on the other hand is going strong now that they're happily engaged. When a new case comes up, they decide to wait to share their big news, but keeping secrets around the office was never their strongest suit. From the looks of things, Donna seems to be on to them pretty quickly.

Elsewhere, a new partner starts stirring up trouble for Jessica when he questions Harvey's usefulness to the firm. 

Be sure to catch up and watch Suits online via TV Fanatic! Suits premieres this Wednesday, June 24th at 9/8c.

After so many months of waiting and agonizing and dreaming of the day that Suits would return, the premiere is finally here! And it's extra juicy!

If the personal drama of the office doesn't suit you – see what I did there? – then brace yourself for Suits Season 5 Episode 1, because this episode was all about picking up the pieces with our favorite inter-office relationships.

First up, the most obvious: Harvey and Donna.

After Donna's huge decision to leave Harvey for Louis at the end of Suits Season 4, there was no telling where we'd find our favorite characters this season, or how they'd be coping. Unsurprisingly, Donna was sailing through relatively fine, while Harvey was... not.

His opening dream sequence, where a serious lack of Donna led to him blowing a big case, is pretty indicative of where his head is at right now. But that's not even the worst of it. The panic attacks he's been having every time he's confronted with the truth that Donna is gone for good are nearly doing him in.

Are panic attacks a little dramatic for the loss of a secretary? Probably. But we have to remember that Donna is anything but just a secretary to Harvey. She's been with him for 12 years as his secretary, his friend, his confidant, his support system, his everything! 

I thought Jessica's interlude on the topic was especially poignant. 

I know you and Donna aren't me and Jeff, but you are as close as two people can be without being that.

Jessica

Jessica isn't typically one to broach the Donna/Harvey subject. No one on the show really is, but to hear it straight from her lips, so openly, was definitely a big moment. She knows Harvey better than just about anyone, and I especially liked that she mentioned how losing Scotti didn't throw him off his game as much as losing Donna. 

It just goes to how important Donna is to him, and subsequently how crippling her move could be to Harvey's life.

On the Louis front, we see another predictable outcome.

The flashback to Mike's short time with Louis was a fitting parallel between then and now. It also really informed Louis' anxiety about Donna returning to Harvey at the drop of a hat. Kind of a 'fool me once, shame on me' sort of thing. It's not a fear I see Louis getting over very quickly, but hopefully their new cake ritual helped to smooth things over.

It's still too soon to tell if this new partnership will work out, though.

Donna is an excellent secretary, obviously, but Louis is an incredibly demanding boss. She worked seamlessly with Harvey because they fit each others' needs and had a long history together. Louis' mood swings and irritability might not be as conducive to an easy work environment as Donna expects. 

I'm eager to see if Donna might feel some growing pains in other areas, too. As much as she was Harvey's support system, he was also the most important person in her life.

Donna: Do you know how hard it is for me to say no to you?
Harvey: Then don't.

• Permalink: Do you know how hard it is for me to say no to you?
• Added: June 23, 2015

That moment between them, where she refuses to return to him and holds her ground, was as intense as it was game-changing. Donna's willingness to go above and beyond for Harvey – even when it's the wrong thing to do – was what got them into this mess in the first place, so watching her say no to him, no matter how painful, was a big step for her.

On a lighter note, MIKE AND RACHEL ARE ENGAGED!

With all the heavy relationship drama surrounding this premiere, Rachel and Mike were the one shining beacon of happiness.

After all the trials and tribulations they went through last season, it was a nice reprieve to see this couple so in love and happy with their lot in life. It will likely last about two seconds because this is TV, but still. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

Rachel, you just agreed to spend the rest of your life with me. Right now, I'm pretty okay with everything.

Mike

The other highlights of the episode were of course the quote-off between Harvey, Mike, and their latest adversary. Any time you can work in a Silence of the Lambs montage, you absolutely have to do it. Though it's more bittersweet now with recent news that Hannibal has gotten the ax.

Not to mention, Donna and Rachel's engagement gift exchange at the end of the night.

One thing Suits has done so well is establish the friendly womant-to-woman relationship between Rachel and Donna. They are friends first and coworkers second. The fact that out of an hour of television, the writers of this show took the time to let Donna appreciate all the hard work Rachel put in for her is truly a wonderful thing to see as a female viewer.

More female friendships and friends appreciating friends please!

Now that Harvey has flushed his anti-anxiety meds down the toilet, will his panic attacks become a problem? How long will this separation with Donna last? Is it a good thing for both of their characters?

Sounds off in comments below!

Finally, right?

Finally we were treated to Suits Season 5 Episode 1 on Wednesday night and the fallout of Donna going to work for Louis.

It's hard to even read that sentence, isn't it?

But it was even harder for Harvey to face the reality, which is why he saw a psychologist during the premiere after experiencing a panic attack.

Mike, meanwhile, was trying to hide his new status with Rachel.

But the engaged cat ended up out of the bag and Mike ended up... at a Mets game?

Go ahead and watch Suits online to see how everything unfolded.

Sorry, Harvey. You're on your own.

Granted, those words were spoken by Donna in Harvey's dream last night... but there was much truth to them now that Donna has really moved from Harvey's desk to work with Louis at Pearson Specter Litt.

And, by the end of Suits Season 5 Episode 1, the beloved secretary was staying put, while Harvey was going to have to find a new underling.

As I talked to star Sarah Rafferty about Donna's journey through Suits Season 5, she offered up a window into the office dynamics, a little wedding planning with Rachel and how we may find out a little bit more about Donna this season.

Let's see what else the actress had to say about what we'll see in the upcoming episodes:

TV Fanatic: By the end of the season premiere, the Donna/Harvey/Louis thing is kind of in a decent place. I thought maybe it would be the driving point of the whole season, you know?  

Sarah Rafferty: Because Harvey was willing to take the next step, he asked for the list, right? And it’s sort of like he was taking responsibility and respecting her wishes in that way. So that gesture was great. But you know what? Moving forward things aren’t like totally copacetic between Louis and Harvey and so the fact that they’re not getting along and that there are some really complicated differences that come up, it just doesn’t bode well for Donna.

It’s a very, very complicated situation for her to be in professionally and personally and that’s new territory for her to navigate considering that she doesn’t just overnight lose her sense of personal loyalty toward Harvey, but now she has to have professional loyalty toward Louis. So it’s rough.

TVF: Will we see Louis and Harvey kind of use you a little bit just to kind of jab at the other, like a “I’ve got her, you don’t” kind of thing?

SR: I think that they do. I think that they’ll use anything as a power play and Donna is not going to be one to sit comfortable with being used as an object or a power play or anything. She would find that incredibly disrespectful and she’s certainly not one to be a door mat and sit around and be disrespected, that’s for sure.

TVF: Part of me just wants to slap the guys and say ‘stop being such boys!’ Stop being these stupid men.

SR: Exactly. I think she wants to do that too. I knew you had a lot in common with Donna.

TVF: Stop being boys. Boys are dumb.

SR: Boys are dumb. That should be a Donna T-shirt. [laughs]

TVF: Tell me about how it’s been to play these scenes with Gabriel, especially because the characters have such a history, you two have such a history but now the dynamic has definitely shifted. They’re kinda tough to watch!

SR: Oh, God. I know. I know. And I think that was really hard for Donna and I think any kind of uber-conflicted situation to be in is a really fun scene to play. So I was excited about that but part of my Suits-viewer brain came up at different moments of like, ‘wait, what? Huh?’ It took a little adjusting for me as well to kind of get my head around some of the scripts when I first read them and then it was easy to dive in and recognize her point of view and where she’s coming from especially in the aftermath of last year’s finale, especially with Harvey not being able to show up for the conversation that she needed to have in order to move forward. That was very telling.

TVF: Do we see Donna having a learning curve with working for Louis? She knows this guy so well but is there still difference for working for him that we see?

SR: Does she have a learning curve? I think it’s more of a challenge because of the conflict with Harvey. It’s not the typical ‘oh, just going to work for Louis’ situation. It’s managing very, very complicated dynamics and trying to be true to her [and] be very professional under very personal circumstances, I would say, things that she takes personally.

View Slideshow: Suits Photos from "Denial"

TVF: Going back to the Harvey/Donna conversation that he didn’t’ show up for, as you put it. Is Donna going to push for that or is she moving past it?

SR: I would say that she’s moving past. She’s moving past it. That’s what’s going on inside her. She’s getting on with her life. She’s drawing a clear boundary and recognizing that she’s not going to pound her head against a wall.

TVF: Good for her.

SR: I think what’s interesting is she expects [Harvey] to be able to recognize that she’s just doing something for her and he sees it as a betrayal, as an abandonment and that’s surprising to her that he can’t see it from her side at all. I think that’s terribly disappointing to her.

TVF: Does Donna get involved with any Rachel stuff like wedding planning?

SR: Well, the wedding. So she’s definitely excited about the wedding and will pour her heart and soul into helping out with that in any way that she can. So that’s fun. And yeah. Just being all up in everybody’s private business as she usually is, which is a really fun place to be.

TVF: If I needed a wedding planner I think Donna would be amazing. She’d have everything so thought out way before you even thought of it.

SR: Yeah, I think she’d be super, super on it and especially for two people that she loves as much as Mike and Rachel. So that’s definitely fun. And I’m excited, we hear a little bit about her life. Right now we’re only in the middle of shooting [episode] seven so I don’t know where things are going to go but we get a little hint about what’s going on outside of Pearson Specter’s doors. So it’ll be interesting for me to see if we see some of that because we talk about it.

TVF: With all the flashbacks over the years, there’s still so much we actually don’t know about Donna. Her family, we don’t really know a lot of that stuff.

SR: Well, maybe write about that so that then Aaron reads that and says, “You know what? Jim Halterman is right. We should dig into Donna’s personal life a little bit more.” I had said that I think she has brothers. Aaron and I talked about it, I want Tom Sadoski to come on and play my brother because we played brother and sister in a play like 20 years ago. Tom is obviously starring in his own television show now so he won’t be available but we talked about that.

Suits Season 5 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on USA.

There will be more legal drama coming your way on USA Network, as Suits has been renewed for a 16-episode sixth season, the network announced.

Suits centers on a fast-paced Manhattan law firm. Harvey Specter, Jessica Pearson, Louis Litt, their associates Mike Ross and Rachel Zane and uber secretary Donna Paulsen create more drama than any one legal case could possibly handle.

“Suits has set the bar high in every way and continues to be a strong performer and marquee property for USA,” said Chris McCumber, President of USA Network. “From the incredible on-screen performances and brilliant writing to the aspirational lifestyle portrayed, we look forward to continuing to bring viewers into the world of Suits every week.”

“Suits has delivered a smart and sexy roller coaster ride for five seasons,” said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and President, Universal Cable Productions. “Aaron Korsh has some great surprises for the audience at the end of Season 5 that should really set future seasons on an exciting new course.” 

Make sure you tune into Suits Season 5 Episode 2 tonight to watch Harvey try to move on from Donna while he searches for her replacement, and come back for a review of the installment.

You can watch Suits online if you've missed out on any of the action!

After last week's emotional rollercoaster of an episode, it will be nice to get back to some of the office politics Suits is so well known for in Suits Season 5 Episode 2. Unfortunately for Harvey, those office politics might be politicking him right out of his cushy salary!

Jack Soloff, a new face, whom some of you might recognize as Tex from The Last Ship, is making moves against Harvey in a bid to gain himself some traction at the firm. His proposal to cut Harvey's salary to match his billables passes through Louis' office in this all new clip. It seems fair, especially to a hard worker like Louis, that lawyers salaries match the amount of work they do, after all.

Will Louis let Harvey's paycheck get sliced and diced, or will he step in and support Harvey against Soloff? 

We'll find out tonight, when an all new episode of Suits airs at 9/8c.
