Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth: 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Smallville' and 'Big BangTheory' February Sweeps

This is Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth, a weekly column here at TV Squad where we discuss and give our two cents about recently released spoilers and how they may affect the storylines, shows and fans.

This in-depth version of the column goes hand in hand with our weekly spoilers column, in which we supply you with the dirt on some of the more popular shows on the air.

This week, we discuss spoilers recently released for the first February Sweeps episodes of 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Smallville' and 'The Big Bang Theory.'

'Grey's Anatomy'

As described in the official network description of episode 'Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go),' Mark and Arizona must learn to navigate through the pregnancy together, which starts off with Callie driving her new obstetrician crazy.

The Callizona fan in me is glad that Callie and Arizona are starting to patch things up and that Arizona will have a part in the pregnancy. We've seen with his daughter's baby that Mark can take care of a newborn, and Callie has longed for a child for some time, but add baby-phobic Arizona in the mix and sparks could fly. Pity the obstetrician who'll have to stay sane while dealing with Callie, Arizona, and Mark all at once!


'Smallville'

Martha Kent returns in the Feb. 4 episode. However, it won't be a happy return as Martha will get shot on national television during a pro-vigilante rally. Alternate-Lionel will reveal himself and take over LuthorCorp. Chloe is in this special episode.

Martha!!! Lionel!!! Chloe!!! OMG! It'll be a crazy episode, no? Martha better not end up dead at the end of this episode. We've lost enough season 1 characters already -- though I'm not complaining about Lana's departure. We need Martha to stick around even if we don't see her on screen, but just know she's in Washington safe and sound.

Lionel rocks no matter if it's the original or alternate version. What I'm really looking forward is not how he'll take over LuthorCorp and what evil doings he'll do, but how his return will affect Tess as she recently discovered that Lionel is her father. It'll be especially interesting if, somehow, Lionel is able to have the world think that he is the "real" Lionel. No matter real or alternate, it's got to mess with Tess who has grown up without her father.

And isn't about time that Chloe comes back into the mix?!

'The Big Bang Theory'

In the Feb. 3 episode, Sheldon asks a huge favor from Penny: give him acting lessons so to help him become a better teacher!

HILARIOUS!!! This storyline is pure genius as Sheldon is so not an actor! He surely played roles in Dungeons & Dragons, but no doubt Sheldon is always Sheldon ... even in costume. Now, Sheldon wants to actually not be 100 percent himself when he teaches, since his students are supposedly not enjoying his classes. Will Sheldon be able to let Penny teach him acting without criticizing every single tip and trick? Will he actually be able to hide his Sheldon-ness? The answer to both questions is probably no which means extra laughters for us when the episode airs!


'Grey's Anatomy' airs Thursdays at 9PM ET on ABC.
'Smallville' airs Fridays at 10PM ET on The CW.
'The Big Bang Theory' airs on Thursdays at 8PM ET on CBS.
