Between breakups, break-ins, and one very tragic death, Degrassi Community School hasn’t had an easy semester. (Then again, when has it?)

This season’s drama really comes to a head in June, with a graduation special that sends off the school’s current seniors in style. In the meantime, here’s a juicy clip from this Friday’s official season finale. Poor Maya is finally starting to deal with her boyfriend Cam’s suicide by acting out — going as far as kissing another guy, then posting a video of the makeout session on her Facerange profile. (Gotta love Degrassi‘s fake technology.)

Here, the ex-good girl gets into a screaming match with her ex-love interest, Zig. Could this be the cathartic moment that helps Maya finally start moving on?

Eager Bronies — and, you know, actual children — still have several months to wait before new episodes of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic return to The Hub. Luckily, a slew of new Pony titles being released this spring, summer, and fall should help make time fly.

Three of these books — Meet the Ponies of Ponyville, Welcome to Equestria, and Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell — hit stores today, while three more are slated for later this year. The full-color original picture book Under the Sparkling Sea, out April 23, features breathtaking illustrations by artist Mary Jane Begin and a journey to Aquastria, an all-new underwater world. The Elements of Harmony (June) serves as a guide to My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, complete with a forward by creator Lauren Faust. And finally, the Mini Pony Collector’s Guide (October) is a must for any avid Pony pack rat — especially since it comes with an exclusive mini figurine.

We’ve got exclusive images from the new books, as well as the punch-out trading card that comes with Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell (pictured above). Want to see them all? Hoof it on over to our gallery where you can use a magnifier to check out some of the detail.

Psst, My Little Pony: You’re not the only Hub cartoon that knows its way around a pop-culture reference.

This week’s episode of Littlest Pet Shop finds Blythe appearing on a reality show called Terriers and Tiaras — a docu-series about pet pageants that looks an awful lot like a certain TLC hit. Best of all, the show’s writers seem to have been inspired by the classic Christopher Guest mockumetary Best in Show; doesn’t contestant Cindeanna Mellon remind you of Jennifer Coolidge’s character?

It’s all coming to a head on Pretty Little Liars.

Or so says Mona (Janel Parrish) in an exclusive clip from the season finale of ABC Family’s teen soap, a video that finds the devious girl in the “A” team’s mobile lair. Mona gives her approval to her faceless co-conspirator’s plan to host a Hastings gathering of dinner and dancing, an event where Mona promises that the Liars will “finally going to get what they deserve.”

Relevant questions: Who is she talking to? Could the person in the black hoodie — the “A” team leader maybe — be Spencer? And what is the reward that Mona mentions? Watch the clip from next week’s Pretty Little Liars – which airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET — below.

Is Teen Beach Movie the next High School Musical?

We’ll find out July 19, when Disney Channel’s next big family film — formerly known as Teen Beach Musical – premieres at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The sunny tale centers on Brady and McKenzie (Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell), a pair of surfers who find themselves mysteriously transported into an old-fashioned, Beach Blanket Bingo-esque movie. As they search for a way out of this all-singing, all-dancing ’60s world, they discover that they’ve accidentally changed the movie’s storyline (à la Pleasantville) — a mistake which could alter their lives forever.

'Gravity Falls' exclusive clip: Things are looking down

Tags: , , , , , , , , TV

Gravity Falls takes its name from the small town that serves as the kooky cartoon’s setting — but in this week’s episode, Stan, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos will see that name get literalized when they find themselves descending into a bottomless pit.

Naturally, it’s a long way down; luckily, each member of the gang helps to pass the time by telling a different story to the group. Get a sneak peek at Mabel’s tale in the clip below –a colorful yarn involving a wild beast, a police officer, and a suspicious doctor’s note (“Stan is sick and needs a bear. — Dr. Medicine”)

'Pretty Little Liars': Spencer confronts 'Red Coat' in the finale -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTO

Get ready to meet “Red Coat”! As you can see in this exclusive photo from Pretty Little Liars‘ March 19 season 3 finale, the ever crazier and crazier Spencer (Troian Bellisario) meets the until-now elusive “Red Coat” face-to-face for the first time. The details around her meeting with “Red Coat” are sketchy, but the show’s actors and producers have already heavily teased to EW that crimson-hooded spook largely factors into the season’s denouement.

On the subject of “Red Coat,” Bellisario says: “There is something about her that is so familiar that it’s almost more frightening than ‘A,’ which is a completely new terror.” Maybe that explains Spencer’s stunned look in the above photo? “There’s something about ‘Red Coat’ that they all recognize about their past. There’s some kind of haunting to it — not to say that there’s a supernatural element — but the girls are all kind of getting that feeling from it, that it’s more frightening than ‘A.’ This must be one person, and we must know them.”

Is “Red Coat” the “A” team captain? Is she CeCe (Vanessa Ray)? She’s “who you think it might be, yes,” says executive producer Oliver Goldstick, but “it’s not definitive. The finale is a shocker.” Lucy Hale — who plays Little Liar Aria — adds that the hooded villain “could be the keeper of a lot of answers and a lot of things that they’ve been searching for.”

After weeks of waiting, the mane event is finally almost here. Tomorrow morning, Twilight Sparkle will finally earn her wings and become a princess in Friendship Is Magic‘s third season finale. (Well, technically the coronation won’t happen until later in the episode…but who’s counting?)

First, though, the unicorn will have to grapple with a curse that switches around all of her friends’ cutie marks — thus messing with their destinies. “Twilight uses her wits and her love of her friends and ingenuity to figure out what’s going on,” voice actress Tara Strong (who plays Twilight) explained in an interview this week. “It’s a very exciting episode. There’s a lot of twists and turns, and things that you think are going to go wrong, and wonderful music.”

Speaking of that music: “Magical Mystery Cure” features a full score and seven different musical numbers by composer/lyricist Daniel Ingram and lyricist M.A. Larson, who doubles as the episode’s screenwriter — all in about 21 minutes and 45 seconds of airtime. Here’s a sneak peek at the opening number, an “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” style tune about starting a day off in Ponyville:
