Ugly Betty (ABC) 8:00 PM EDT
AfterElton Hot 100 pick Eddie Cibrian starts his run on tonight's episode, playing Justin's PE teacher and a potential love interest for Hilda ... guess who's flunking gym? Meanwhile, the ever-sweet Betty (oh, how I'd like to see her meet up with Gossip Girl's Dan) tries to connect with Charlie by throwing her a baby shower. Oh, Betty...

Grey's Anatomy (ABC) 9:00 PM EDT
The gay soldiers ep we've all been waiting for: Meredeth admits a new patient to her clinical trial, a veteran with a brain tumor with a "friend" who stays close by for support. Thinking they've found a private moment the two share a romantic kiss that, unfortunately, is witnessed by someone who objects.

Step It Up and Dance (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
The "art of movement and storytelling" is the focus of tonight's episode ... somehow that translates into challenges involving jumping on mattresses, staircases and one heavy-looking prop, as you can see in the preview below the cut. I think the producers of this show have found the one thing that can get me to keep watching despite losing my favorite dancer last week and the judges' irrirtating obsession with butchness.

    Grey's anatomy

    OK, I just watched the show, and loved it! The kiss was passionate, it fit the scene, and the emotion behind the rest of the story left me with a tear in my eye when he imperceptably shook his head in the hallway, and again at the end when the "friend" kissed him goodbye. It was a sweet touching story, and an incredibly powerful DADT statement. It wasn't in any way a happy ending, and god, do we need a happy ending to a primtime gay story, but I loved it.

    Yeah, it was well done. I

    Yeah, it was well done. I didn't expect a happy ending for a moment, just because its Grey's anatomy, they always kill the patients that you really want to live. Like killing Seth Green, and little Gale Harold nazi guy live. If you like the character, they're going to die, most of the time. This is what I tell myself, so I can prepare myself, and then I always end up in tears anyway.
