The Real Housewives of NYC End a Most Volatile Season

For a season that started relatively slowly — the big drama in the season premiere was Ramona boosting some lobsters from a party to bring back to the uninvited Dorinda — we're now at the end, feeling bruised and battered after Bethenny's explosive outburst at LuAnn a couple weeks ago. The reverberations of that argument, and the truths Bethenny spewed forth (She got LuAnn rehab for free! She prevented LuAnn from driving a boat drunk and killing her friends!) promise to be far-reaching, all the more so because LuAnn couldn't attend this season's reunion because she was back in rehab.

SEASON FINALE: There will still be the reunions after this week, but Lu-less as they'll be, if you're looking for one last Bethenny/Lu Ann fight on The Real Housewives of New York City, tonight is your last chance for a while. Meanwhile, the attention seems to have shifted to Tinsley, whose relationships to Scott and to money are currently under suspicion. 9:00 PM ET on Bravo

DEBATE NIGHT, PT 2: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg headline tonight's Democratic Presidential Primary Debate. They'll be joined by New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet, entrepreneur Andrew Yang, California Representative Eric Swalwell, and self-help author Marianne Williamson. 9:00 PM ET on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo

SERIES FINALE: Alas, the fourth season finale of the CBS sitcom Life in Pieces will be its final one, as the series was cancelled back in May. Tonight, it's back-to-back episodes to close out the series, as each of the Short family members enters a new chapter in their lives. Take the time to check out one of TV's most talented ensemble casts, including Dianne Wiest, James Brolin, Colin Hanks, Zoe Lister-Jones, Tom Sadoski, Angelique Cabral and Betsy Brandt. 9:00 PM ET on CBS

SPECIAL EPISODE: Tonight's episode marks the 10-year anniversary of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, the Andy Cohen's frequently delightful talk show, where the Real Housewives and legit celebrities cross paths and share a few cocktails. For tonight's celebration, Chrissy Tiegen is booked to appear, as well as a performance by Countess LuAnn, which ought to be a real time. 10:00 PM ET on Bravo

NEW EPISODE: Reelz once again goes behind the narrative of a screen classic to get the true story on tonight's The Real Story of … Serpico. The film version starred Al Pacino as a crusading, corruption-exposing cop. The Real Story Of… will look to the real Frank Serpico for the true tale. 9:00 PM ET on Reelz
