Ships this week are led by Coliver, Jamichael, Omelia 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.
‘Doctor Who’ – All Aboard Danny and Clara
Passengers: Danny Pink and Clara Oswald
Sunset Cruise: Missy tries to throw Clara off her game by taunting her about her fiance, Danny Pink, who Missy enslaved into Cyberman service after his death.
Ship Status: Despite having the death of her one true love thrown in her face, a still grieving Clara won’t let herself be manipulated by Missy. Even though Danny is gone, this cruise lives on in Clara’s heart.
‘How to Get Away With Murder’ – All Aboard Coliver
Passengers: Connor Walsh and Oliver Hampton
Sunset Cruise: In a turn around from his previous playboy ways, Connor is ready to commit and make sacrifices to be with Oliver. Oliver’s HIV status is something that they will deal with together as Connor moves in.
Ship Status: We love this ship so much, it has a couple of obstacles in the water, but really it’s nothing these captains can’t handle.
‘Empire’ – All Aboard Jamichael
Passengers: Jamal Lyon and Michael Sanchez
Sunset Cruise: Things may look hot and steamy on the surface, but even with the additional PDA in the Empire halls, some trouble is brewing in Jamal and Michael’s reunion this season.
Ship Status: It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing some serious cracks in the hull with Jamal breaking under the pressure.
On page 2: ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Downton Abbey’
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ – All aboard Omelia
Passengers: Amelia Shepherd and Owen Hunt
Sunset Cruise: Owen is working up the nerve to get back into Amelia’s life.
Ship Status: This ship is all frustration: loading and unloading the cargo, fueling up, and then dumping their load. Waiting too long has led to interruptions by the adjoining Grey sisters’ vessel. On top of that, did Owen learn anything while he was alongside yet another boat in the harbor, Cristina?
‘Downton Abbey’ – All Aboard Elsie and Charles
Passengers: Elsie Hughes and Charles Carson
Sunset Cruise: After a minor bump in the road via Mrs. Hughes’ trepidation over what might happen when she and her husband-to-be made it to their marriage bed, Mr. Carson corrected the course through a rather emotional and heartfelt vow that he wanted Mrs. Hughes as his wife — all of her.
Ship Status: Just goes to show you that older cruises can be just as emotional as the new ones. Our hearts were all a flutter as he took her into his arms, and they shared their very first onscreen kiss. Hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing all the way to their “I do’s” from here.
