This week the series premiere of Zero Hour's will offer up cults, conspiracies and evil Nazi Babies. Which coincides perfectly with the season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, in which one pony gets a special Princess Coronation. Could said coronation lead to the discover of an Evil Nazi Baby? It's almost too coincidental. Also, lots and lots of Valentine's Day-centric episodes! Archer seduces an old flame, The Regular Show gets romantic and Big Bang Theory attempts to be cute.

Continuum (8 PM, Syfy):
This week the gang's future meddling hits close to home when Kellog's grandmother, Maddie, gets involved.
Kagame's return begins with a reset of Liber8's agenda, away from violence and towards blending into the community and fostering their revolution through co-opting existing structures. But they have a vulnerability - the possibility that if their ancestors, living in this time, are murdered, they might cease to exist. Due to Kiera's interference, Liber8 have decided to deal with her, and Kagame has a plan: by killing her grandmother Lily Jones, Kiera will never be born - getting rid of Kiera once and for all (as eliminating her grandmother means Kiera will never exist), and also testing the theory, with Kiera and her grandmother as the guinea pigs. The first woman they kill by the name of Lily turns out to be the wrong woman and when Kiera hears the news she knows exactly what Kagame's up to. She sets out to find her grandmother but isn't quite ready for the pregnant and homeless punk she finds living on the street. Kellog gives her a heads up, but a suspicious Kagame has already taken out insurance against him - Kellog's grandmother, Maddie. The game they are playing soon becomes tit for tat with no possible winner.
