Well, things are finally unraveling on Friday Night Lights. The Lions are sort of coming together, the graduates are still grappling with life after high school, and loyalties are being tested -- say, Buddy finally giving up on the Panthers because Joe just took over and wrecked things. And then there's this important lesson that I learned after watching Eric and Tami argue about financial matters: don't ever burn your old clothes if you don't have the means to buy new ones.

Indeed, it's hard getting established in a new place, and even more so if everybody seems to want you out...or worse, killed.

Tonight, the desperate descent continues. Eric looks into East Dillon's history after a homecoming event at East Dillon High -- know the enemy, they do say, although it might dishearten him more than encourage. Tami still feels the wrath of the boosters -- something I couldn't explain, although it sucks being torn between two passionate lovers, to use a scratched-out metaphor. As for Vince, well, he finds himself attracted to Jess -- oh, and Landry gets into it, too. Sowing the seeds of love? More like chaos.

Friday Night Lights returns with a fresh new episode tonight at 8pm on NBC.
