The band at the heart of this
acerbic sitcom always seems to
be one spat away from break-
ing up permanently — again
— but after all the individual
triumphs and trials the char-
acters have experienced over
the course of this sophomore
season, the prospect seems
more likely than ever in “Bang
Bang,” the season finale. Hav-
ing built her clout and cred to
formidable new levels, Gigi
(Elizabeth Gillies) declares
she’s taking the group in a new
direction. Johnny (Denis Leary),
however, decides it’s time for
him to pursue a solo project.

sent those who will start new

Another victim will be claimed
— specifically, one of the Haw-
thornes — before Election Day
is over in the drama’s two-hour
season finale, “Madame X/
Whistler’s Mother.” The family
hopes the police can keep them
protected, but Garrett (Antony
Starr) turns out to be the key.
Alison (Juliet Rylance) tries to
stay focused on her mayoral
bid, but a suddenly resurfaced

tion. Guest stars include Betha-
