Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Once, NCIS, Empire and lebih 

‘s Dean pay a price for snuffing Death? What’s the state of the

bromance? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows.

clued you in on what their respective season premiere episodes are entitled? –Caitlin

No, but thanks for the reminder to ask! Airing Tuesday, Sept. 22,

will follow with “Sic Semper Tyrannis” – which, and I may be wrong, sounds like an awesome

Jurassic World riff! What, no? (To complete the hat trick, I can tell you that

‘s Sept. 21 premiere is titled “Active Measures.”)

Funny your name there, because I am hearing that

fave Michael Weatherly’s crossover, currently penciled in for October, is quite hilarious. Said simply: DiNozzo + Deeks = LOLOLOLOL.

This casting notice would seem to apply: For Season 5’s fourth episode,

is guest-casting the role of a medieval manservant who is devoted to his employer but harbors a deep resentment… that may lead him to do very bad things.

, specifically on Emma being the new Dark One? –Sarah

The cast touched on that during our free-wheeling, at-times blush-worthy Comic-Con Q&A, but maybe there is a smidgen more to be gleaned by watching this “deleted scene,” in which everyone teases the Season 5 opener with two words:

I can’t get into specifics, but I have it on good authority that there are some very sweet and “bromantic” moments on tap for Season 6, especially in the first three episodes. Danny is very much going to have McGarrett’s back, I hear, maybe even being a bit protective of his partner in crimesolving.

I chased this one like a dog for you, Michelle, but alas, there currently are no broadcast airdates for

this summer — though “Matty” in Comments (no relation) claims they are available via iTunes and other space-age doohickeys.

The “scoop on Cameron” is that in the Aug. 4 season finale he’ll find that being in a covert government agency can be dangerous, when he and Det. Fisher are targeted in a shooting. Meanwhile, “Camsten” fans will enjoy watching Kirsten find out that she has a previously unknown connection with Cameron…..

? Will Ali Larter and Tina Majorino return? –Ivan

As revealed in my thorough and handy Ins & Outs photo gallery, neither Larter nor Majorino are returning alongside Sean Bean for Season 2, though Morris Chestnut

Do you know if we’ll be seeing Sue’s Abercrombie & Fitch model friend again on

? I thought they were pretty cute together. –Amy

I smell… no, not remnant body spray wafting out of the A&F store… but an

on the horizon, since David Hull is set to reprise his role as oft bare-chested Logan.

, fans have been wondering: Will there be consequences for Dean after he killed Death? –Ana

Rest assured there will be repercussions “to a certain extent — and probably in the first batch of episodes, we’ll start to address that,” executive producer Jeremy Carver teases. “You can imagine that it causes some issues.”

boys will be in Season 11? Particularly Cas? —Meg

Cas has a lot on his plate, like “dealing with the effects of the attack dog spell and the stabbing of Crowley and The Darkness,” Misha Collins previews. Speaking of that pre-biblical foe, “It is a very, very big bad ominous force that angels only heard of as a scary bedtime story,” the actor explains. “Cas didn’t think that The Darkness was a real thing. So it’s

Are Sam’s sister and father going to return this season on

We’ve got some good news and bad news for those hoping to see Sam’s family again. First, the bummer: “I don’t think we’ll see his sister,” executive producer Tassie Cameron reveals. “I know, it’s too bad. But we have so many characters to juggle and we felt like she served her dramatic purpose in the first couple of episodes last year. We loved [Robin Brûlé] and maybe they’ll bring her back if there’s a seventh season, because there’s a lot more we could do.” Now on the bright side, “We see Sam’s dad (Nicholas Campbell) again… but it’s more comic this time.”

I can confirm that that could quite possibly not be more

For Episode 4 of the new season, the Fox hit is casting the role of Chloe, an aggressive reality show producer who firmly believes in getting good video by stirring up bad ish. Believing the Lyon home to be a veritable hornets’ nest, you can count on her to poke at the troubled fam with a sharp stick.

The Sept. 27 premiere will pick up exactly where the finale left off, with the squad facing the elevator doors waiting for the new captain to arrive. (Fun fact: Kyra Sedgwick will reprise her role as Madeline Wunch in the Season 3 opener.) Fans of the team’s former boss, meanwhile, needn’t worry – we will see Holt and Gina as they head to their new offices in Public Relations.

question I’ve been wondering about since, like, Episode 2? Why did the other bartender say that no woman worked at the bar when Ethan asked about Beverly? —B.

I brought your Q to showrunner Chad Hodge, and he assured, “Beverly really did work there.” Her colleague simply was keeping newcomer Ethan on his toes. “They were trying to mess with Ethan’s mind, to make him calm down and think

he was the crazy one,” Hodge explains. “That’s one way of getting people to chill and follow the rules.”

Fall TV Cast Changes: New, Leaving Actors for Returning Shows

FYI: All the remaining episodes of “About A Boy” are available on Amazon and ITunes now.

They were great! I’m really going to miss About a boy.

I wonder if Castiel could take over as Death. Tessa’s death never made sense to me, since I I never considered Reapers to be in the angel family. But if they are, maybe Cas could become the angel of death? I’m not sure where else that character goes in the long run.

Thanks so much for the H50 scoop, Matt! So happy there will be some bromantic moments for Steve and Danno. It’ll be an interesting turnaround to see Danno being the protective one for once!

I am also very thankful to hear some news on H50.

Since the video for Once no longer seems to work could you share what those 2 words were? Thanks!

Oh, no. I was really hoping James Brolin could grace Castle’s cast, crew and viewers with his presence. What What’s missed opportunity.

If I am correct James Brolin was cast in a new CBS show. I don’t know if a Castle appearance would be possible.

I love Emma Swan!!! And Emma/Hook. And Charming family

I know I’m in the minority but Emma is not one of my favorites. Definitely not a fan of Emma/Hook. I admit, the other Charmings are charming.

Really looking forward to seeing DiNozzo and Deeks banter on NCIS Los Angeles!!! Thanks for sharing the scoop, TVLine. :-)

Agreed – to be honest, I’m not an LA fan and don’t watch it, but I might tune in for this episode.

I know it’s fairly lightweight in comparison to other TV dramas, but I do look forward to the return of HAWAII 5-0. Alex nails it as the modern day Steve McGarrett, and is surrounded by a good supporting cast. When I hear that opening theme, I get a rush and I am ready to ROCK !!
