OMG TV Moments: How I Met Your Mother's Heartwarming Proposal, Red's Explosive Past on The Blacklist and More!

Robert Voets/CBS

Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments from Monday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show, and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next!

The Blacklist: Compared to last week's mind-blowing episode, tonight's episode was pretty mild. However we were presented with a small but mighty nugget of information from Red's mysterious past. One of Red's people paid double the asking price to buy a house in Maryland. It was a cute little place, but nothing too incredible. It's clear that this house must have meant a lot to Red for him to pay such an extravagant amount.

It turns out that Red raised his family in this house and we watched as he pulled off a board revealing markings where he tracked the growth of his daughter many years ago. It was a very bittersweet moment. Red's henchmen said they have prepared the house and that it is time to go. "I spend every day trying to forget what happened in this house," Red reminisced. "Maybe this will help." And as he pulled away, the house exploded. Sheesh! What the heck happened in that house, Red?

How I Met Your Mother: Finally! After five long Mother-free weeks, devoted HIMYM fans were gifted with another flash-forward featuring Tibba (Cristin Milioti) and Ted (Josh Radnor). (Okay fine. We know that Tibba is not her real name, but that's what it sounds like to us when you've been saying TBA for the past nine seasons.) We hate to admit it, but the wait for The Mother was definitely worth it because tonight's episode gave us something absolutely incredible: Ted's proposal!

Just in case you missed the magical moment here's how it all went down: It's been two years since Barney and Robin's wedding weekend and Ted has decided to take The Mother back to the Far Hampton Inn where it all began. At the tippy-top of what seemed to be the world's most adorable lighthouse, Ted dropped down to one knee and asked, "Will you…?" He couldn't even finish his sentence before his pint-size bride-to-be exclaimed, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Admit it. Who else was like a baby?!

Bones: After one of the most gorgeous weddings in television history, Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) were ready for a little fun, sun, and solving crimes. The newlyweds traveled to Argentina for their honeymoon on this week's episode of Bones and in between all their love-making, (Squee!) the couple still had plenty of time to find out this week's whodunnit.

It turns out that this week's Bones victim was a hidden Nazi who sent thousands to the gas chamber. Ugh. And the killer was… his own granddaughter! It turns out she was actually working with Brennan to try and "solve" the case. Nice try, honey, but you're no match for Booth and Brennan, even when they're supposed to be relaxing on their honeymoon. By the way, who else was in love with those skull cocktail glasses? Too perfect!

Castle: Tonight's episode of Castle was all about bringing our strained father and daughter back together. Alexis' (Molly Quinn) case study and friend, Frank, was on trial for murder and said to be executed in a mere three days. Yikes! So once again, it's Castle (Nathan Fillion) to the rescue. After crossing off what seemed like a dozen suspects from the list, Castle and Alexis combined their brilliance to discover that a cop named Teddy was the real killer. You can all breathe a collective sigh of relief now! Alexis thanked her daddy and her soon-to-be step-momma, Beckett (Stana Katic), for all their help in solving this death row case.

Sleepy Hollow: Holy feels, Batman! Yes, we know Ichabod (Tim Mison) is a married man, but we can't help but love the chemistry between our favorite revolutionary war soldier and Abbie (Nicole Beharie). Tonight's outing further fanned our shipper flames by having Abbie on a mission to save Ichabod and everyone noticing just how much he already means to her. And their goodbye when he was going to off himself to stop Headless? Can't. Even. Deal.

And how great was Fringe's John Noble as the powerful yet damaged Sin Eater, the man who saved Ichabod's life? Then again, we'd watch Noble read a book for an hour and still consider it award-worthy material.

Our New TV Obsession: Eleven Reasons We Couldn't Care Less That the CW's Reign Is Fake History

Joss Barratt/The CW

So when the Internet erupted in a ball of fury last week that the CW's Reign is not historically accurate, we took a good, hard look at our newfound love for this show, and decided: We totally stand by it.Fun fact about Mary Queen of Scots: There weren't many fun facts about her.

Reign—which airs its second episode tonight—is not a history lesson. It is sorta-kindainspired by true events of the 16th Century, but focuses on a 15-year-old Mary (Adelaide Kane) who has just been freed from a convent, to the freedom of life with the French royal family, and is just a girl trying to have fun despite the stoic confines of the monarchy. It is arguably the most ambitious series the CW has ever done, but most importantly, it is so much fun to watch—thanks to, in part, to the writers' determination tonot get bogged down by historical accuracies. In a sea of lackluster new fall TV dramas,Reign (along with  Blacklist) is currently at the tippy top of our must-watch list.

Here are 11 reasons we are obsessed with Reign, and don't mind sticking to history books for history lessons!

1. The Love Triangle: Mary (Kane), the king's son Francis (Toby Regbo), and the king's bastard son Bash (Torrance Coombs) are so wrought with heated chemistry, your retinas might get scorched right out of your eye sockets. (You have been warned.) 

Mathieu Young/The CW

2. The Hot, Complicated Mess That Is Mary and Francis: While Mary is betrothed to Francis, Francis' heart already belongs to someone else...and our heart belongs to Mary's scandalous attraction to Francis' half-brother, Bash.

Joss Barratt/The CW

3. The Hot, Complicated Mess That Is Mary and Bash: They will melt the paint off your walls, so don't freeze-frame them too long.

Joss Barratt/The CW

4. The Hair: We guarantee no one looked this well-kempt 500 years ago, unless there were magical fairies who flitted by on pixie dust. Alert the Historical Accuracy Police!

Joss Barratt/The CW

5.  The Headbands: We kind of want to quit our day jobs to be extras on the show, just to get one. Totally rational.

Joss Barratt/The CW

6. And Did We Mention the Dresses? Just...wow.

Joss Barratt/The CW

7. And the Sets? We just want to go there.

8. Adelaide Kane: Arguably the biggest break out star of fall, the Australian newcomer displays a depth of emotion and unshakeable fierceness not seen on most teen shows. "I liked that she was a strong, independent, intelligent young woman in a very difficult time," Adelaide tells us of her role as Mary. "She really has to fight to figure out these murky political waters before she and her friends end up hurt or dead." (See our exclusive video interview, in which Kane also describes her struggle with anxiety, here.)

CW

9. The Angst: And you thought Gossip Girl gave good angst? Well, how about some truly plausible, life-or-death teen angst, courtesy of an entire nation and a queen trying to kill her? "If Mary slips up once politically, she will end up with a knife in her back in a dark alley," Kane tells us. "She has the English trying to kill her and then she has an enemy in French court that she has to dodge…She's threated on all sides. She's sieged on all sides." Kind of makes those Upper East Side party "crises" seem like toddler play.

Marni Grossman/The CW

10. The Parties: A Scottish jig amid falling feathers is pretty much the coolest teen-girls-dancing-at-a-party moment we've ever seen. Not to disparage The O.C.'s pool parties, but just look at it.

Joss Barratt/The CW

11. The Pretty. Did we mention we are fans of the way this show looks? Yes, yes, yes, the story is rich and the plot twists are smart, etc, but it's just so hard to take your eyes off how gorgeous this show is. We'd say more, but we're too busy twirling our hair, trying to figure out how to do these styles so…gotta go. 

Check out Reign on the CW Thursdays!
