Mom invites you to dinner on The Originals

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, October 20. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Originals (The CW, 8 p.m.): Can’t a mother just have her sons over for family dinner? That’s all OG witch Esther Mikaelson wants on this week’s The Originals, but knowing her, she probably wants something a little more sinister than an update on who’s dating who and if the boys have any new job prospects. After all, remember what happened last time she tried to throw a ball? Klaus and Elijah rightfully become suspicious of their mother’s intentions, and call upon the help of new witch Lenore, played by Sonja Sohn of The Wire. It’s a dinner party you won’t want to miss, especially if Esther is serving up one of her signature blood cocktails:
Also noted
Jane The Virgin (The CW, 9 p.m.): Coming off of a great pilot, Jane is back for “Chapter Two.” Jane’s mom Xo threatens to sue Jane’s doctor. Thank god someone in this universe realizes that accidentally inseminating someone is grounds for legal action. You go, Jane’s mom!
The Millers (CBS, 8:30 p.m.): More #moms. In the second-season premiere, this series’ matriarch (played by the always wonderful Margo Martindale) looks for an apartment and makes a new best friend.
Turn Monday the 20th into Friday the 13th
Friday The 13th (AMC, 4 p.m.): When you think about Friday The 13th, you probably think of Jason, the masked killed throughout most of the franchise. But before Jason, there was Jason’s mom, whose love for her son was only rivaled by her love for tasteful cable-knit sweaters:
Friday The 13th Part 2 (AMC, 6 p.m.): Gone but never forgotten, Jason’s mom is dead, decapitated at the end of the first movie and presumably buried in her Lands’ End wardrobe. And now, Jason is back to take up the family knife! Don’t worry about the fact that Jason drowned in a lake. Seriously, don’t think about it at all. You’re almost halfway through this marathon and trying to make sense of what is happening will do you no good. Turn off your brain, and watch a #sadboy kill people. If you find yourself missing Mrs. Voorhees, fear not! Her head makes a few appearances in this film:
Friday The 13th Part III (AMC, 8 p.m.): “Are they really going to write about every Friday The 13th movie in this What’s On Tonight? Yes, yes we are! Part III is special because it’s probably the worst installment of the terrible franchise. Oh, and also because it’s the first movie that features Jason in his signature hockey mask:
Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter (AMC, 10 p.m.): Unlike most characters in these movies, you made it to the end! Well, not actually. The definition of “final chapter” has apparently been expanded by this franchise, because the 1984 film was followed by Friday The 13th: A New Beginning (1985), Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988), Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989), Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993, and also another a gross misuse of the word “final”), Jason X (2001), Freddy vs. Jason (2003), Friday The 13th (2009), and Friday The 13th Part ∞: Jason Dies Then Comes Back To Life Then Finds Love Then Kills People (okay, we made that last one up). But while you may not have made it all the way through this inexplicably never-ending franchise, you at least made it to the end of AMC’s marathon. Congratulations and also what’s wrong with you?
