'Southland' Shocker: Spoiler-Free Teases of Tonight's Big Episode
If somehow you're still not sold on the show, this is one hour that'll make you a true fan.

With great performances from the entire cast, it's a particularly standout episode for Shawn Hatosy -- poor Sammy just can't seem to catch a break. There's more drama with Tammy and her new baby daddy (or is he?), a big push for Sammy to stop sleeping on his partner Nate's (Kevin Alejandro) couch and a life-changing ending that had me in tears.
A few more teases (all spoiler-free, I swear) after the jump ..
* Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) gets his turn at the wheel this episode, but Cooper's (Michael Cudlitz) plan proves that being in charge isn't always as easy as it looks.
* There's an amazing scene with Cooper in the car, driving to beat Sherman as he runs down a suspect. Cooper really loves messing with his trainee, and it's so fun to watch.
* Lydia Adams (Regina King) is flying solo this episode. Not sure what's up with Ochoa (Jenny Gago), but unless you're Russell (Tom Everett Scott), Lydia's partners don't seem to last long. I won't be surprised if she has a new one soon.
* L. Scott Caldwell (Rose from 'Lost') is back as Lydia's mom. Here's hoping her recent romance will encourage her overworked daughter to get out there and get some for herself. Detectives need love too!
* Ben Sherman speaks in tongues -- sort of. Looks like he knows another language.
* There's a huge surprise ending. People always say things like "This will change everything," but, well, this really will.
