Ships this week are lead by Once Upon a Time, How to Get Away With Murder, Downton Abbey, and more. Every week, ships, A.K.A. relationships, are highlighted on our favorite TV shows. Which were your favorite partners and pairings this week?
Did your favorite ship sail this week, did a new one launch, or did yours sadly sink? If you love shipping, you know the drama that shipping wars bring. Your ships don’t have to be canon for you to love them, and that’s half the fun.
Remember, if we didn’t include your favorite, give a suggestion to the writer who usually covers your fandom in the recap discussion or in the comments below.
‘Downton Abbey’ – All Aboard Carson/Hughes
Passengers: Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes
Sunset Cruise: As Mrs. Hughes puts it to Mr. Carson, “Every relationship has it’s ups and downs.” Come to think of it, was that an admission that they are in a relationship? Be still our hearts!
Ship Status: They certainly hit choppy waters this week, as they fell out of agreement over the planned war memorial, but they were back on smooth seas by the episode’s end. Mr. Carson had Mrs. Hughes practically blushing like a school girl, and us by association. “Get away with you!”

‘Doctor Who’ – All Aboard Danny/Clara
Passengers: Danny Pink and Clara Oswald
Sunset Cruise: In the middle of a giant space crisis, Clara can’t hide the possibility that having a permanent future with Danny is something she’s thought about, babies and all as Courtney points out.
Ship Status: Her Majesty’s Vessel, Good Enough For You, is still chugging along as Danny provides sound advice and a shoulder for Clara to cry upon at the end of the episode. Sadly it looks like we won’t be seeing what’s up with these kids in the next episode as the Doctor is travelling solo.

Doctor Who season 8, episode 7
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ – All Aboard Calzona
Passengers: Arizona Robbins and Callie Torres
Sunset Cruise: After an amazing opportunity for a pediatric fellowship was offered to Arizona last week, Callie and Arizona had a rough decision to make. Should Arizona take the position with long hours just as they are about to have another baby? The decision to have a second child has proven to be nothing but a series of arguments for the couple.
Ship Status: Smooth sailing after a rough patch! So far these two have navigated around every rock in their way, including this one. Callie agrees it would be insane to let Arizona give up the fellowship. They will make it work, baby and all.

‘How to Get Away With Murder’ – All Aboard Connor/Oliver
Passengers: Connor Walsh and Oliver… we need his last name!
Sunset Cruise: Despite saying that “I don’t do boyfriends,” Connor came over to Oliver’s house with food for an apology after Oliver called him out for using him. At that point Connor had nothing to gain, he could have simply let Oliver walk out of his life, but he didn’t.
Ship Status: We’re sailing on the U.S.S. Suspicious. As much as we want these two to work out, right now we trust Connor about as much as his fellow law students do.

‘Once Upon a Time’ – All Aboard Outlaw/Queen
Passengers: Regina and Robin
Sunset Cruise: Marian’s arrival in Storybrooke causes a bit of a problem for Robin and Regina’s budding romance. Robin talks to Regina assuring her that he understands her evolution from the Evil Queen of the Enchanted Forest into the light-magic wielding heroine she is today.
Ship Status: Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! Regardless of the current situation with Marian, Robin’s feelings for Regina were… ARE real. However, he made a vow, until death does he part, to his wife and the mother of his child. And for a man of the code… well, that might not leave him much of a loophole to crawl through. Even if Marian does meet some untimely end, this ship could get sunk by Regina manning the torpedoes herself. Robin might forgive a lot of things, killing Marian isn’t one of them.
