This Tuesday’s double episode The Fosters is not just the spring finale – it’s also the 100th episode! The show, which received the GLAAD Media Award in Outstanding Drama Series at the 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, constantly breaks new ground by having a central family with two moms, as well as introducing more queer and trans characters as the series progresses. In the 100th and 101st episodes, Stef and Lena go on a couples retreat to reconnect and remember why have stayed together through it all, Callie and Brandon’s graduation ceremonies, and Jude questioning if the online gaming world is really where he belongs. The Fosters: Tuesday, starting at 8pm on Freeform.

Also on Tuesday is the series premiere of NBC’s new drama Rise. From the creator of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, the new show is the story of a high school drama club breaking the conventional mold by staging a production of Spring Awakening.

Adam Rippon and Sally Field’s Son Finally Got Together

Adam Rippon and Sally Field’s Son Finally Got Together

Adam Rippon has finally met Sally Field’s son Sam Greisman and the two of them took a selfie together. The meeting took place at the Human Rights Campaign gala in Los Angeles, where Rippon was presented with the group’s Visibility Award.

Tweeted Greisman with the cozy-looking selfie: “Thanks, mom.”

Thanks, mom. pic.twitter.com/m25Er4EEfD

As you may recall, Rippon and Greisman were the subject of a highly-publicized matchmaking attempt by Greisman’s mother Sally Field during the Olympics.

Sam had been crushing on Rippon during the first days of the Winter Games.

Gonna need a gif of @Adaripp saying he just wants to focus on being America’s Sweetheart for my daily use. Please and thank you.

Also marry me Adam.

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 13, 2018

So boys, where’re we watching @Adaripp tonight?

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 15, 2018

I hate being earnest but an openly, “non-passing”, sassy, beautiful gay 20-something daring America not to love him and becoming the sweetheart of the Olympic Games is very moving to me.

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 16, 2018

Glad so many people liked this, but if you could slide it into Adam’s DMs that would be great too.

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 16, 2018

Finally, his mom gave him some advice.

Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush. pic.twitter.com/shYCXwNOMf

And after Sam posted the text exchange with mom, she ensured the figure skater saw it by tagging him in the comments.

Sam was slightly horrified (but probably psyched).

Yikes.

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 17, 2018

She’ll do what she has to do. She’s not the worst wing woman.

— sam greisman (@SAMGREIS) February 14, 2018

So finally, Rippon responded.

He visited Buzzfeed’s offices in PyeongChang, and said this.

“Sally. SHE BOLD.” And then had a message for Sam.

“Sam, your mom – I admire her. And I’m sure one day we’re going to meet! So thanks, mom.”

And so it has happened.

Robert Mueller Can’t Commit to Trump Collusion in SNL’s ‘Bachelor’ Finale Cold Open

Kate McKinnon was Robert Mueller and Cecily Strong was all of us in SNL’s Cold Open, which wittily tied in this week’s shocking Bachelor finale to the Russia investigation.

Except in this break-up, it wasn’t Arie being unable to bring himself to commit to Becca, it was Mueller being unable to commit to finding Donald Trump guilty of collusion with the Russians.

Said McKinnon’s Mueller: “The reality is that, I don’t think that I can give you everything that you want right now. And I think that you sense that.”

So I have to wait two more years for him to be out of office?”, asked a destroyed Becca.

Replied Mueller: “Honestly, probably six.”

Watch:
