Amazon’s plan to offer AI-generated recaps of Prime Video shows isn’t off to a great start. The company’s recap of the first season of Fallout features multiple errors, GamesRadar+ writes, including basic facts about the plot of the show.
You can watch the recap yourself in the “Extras” section of Amazon’s Fallout season two listing in Prime Video. Besides being somewhat dry, the AI-generated recap incorrectly identifies the time period of the show’s Los Angeles-set flashbacks as being the 1950s, when they’re actually 2077 (the Fallout franchise is set in an alternate history that diverged from our real one after 1945). As Gizmodo notes, the recap also seems to misunderstand the ending of the first season, which sets up season two’s partnership between vault dweller Lucy and The Ghoul, an irradiated wastelander with a personal connection to the mystery at the heart of the first season.
While the recap suggests Amazon’s AI system can successfully combine clips, music and dialogue into a coherent video, it apparently lacks an understanding of the details. The inaccuracies in this recap won’t prevent anyone from enjoying the second season of the show, but they don’t exactly inspire confidence in Amazon’s tool either. It also seems like a problem that could have been easily solved by having a human employee who’s watched the show review the video before it was uploaded.
Unfortunately, Amazon’s lack of AI quality control extends beyond recaps of its shows and into the dubs for the shows themselves. The company pulled AI-generated voiceover tracks for Banana Fish and other anime because of how bad they sounded earlier this week. It wouldn’t be surprising if this recap gets pulled, corrected and re-uploaded, too. As Amazon adds more AI-generated content to its platform, users are bound to discover more ways it comes up short. The company’s audience is too big, and AI is apparently still too unreliable for it to be avoided.
Michigan State’s Jeremy Fears Jr. was equal parts playmaker and ringmaster on Thanksgiving Day, whipping the Spartans fans who traveled to Fort Myers, Florida, over the holiday into a frenzy with every blow-by drive, pass and dunk.
The Michigan State faithful weren’t just treated to a show, but invited to be a part of the No. 11 Spartans’ 74-58 victory over No. 16 North Carolina (6-1) at the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
At one point in the second half, when UNC guard Luka Bogavac was fouled on a 3-pointer and went to the line, Fears and Bogavac bumped into each other. Incidental contact, it appeared. The Spartan point guard turned to Bogavac, telling him, “Don’t do that!”
A teammate stepped in to pull Fears back. He smiled and locked eyes with a fan in the crowd, nodding his head. He may as well have offered the spectator a playful wink.
So it’s no wonder that, when Fears was fouled on a late 3-pointer — a dagger cutting through a late push for the Tar Heels — the crowd erupted in glee. He kept them cheering, following that up with an assist on a fastbreak layup. That stretched Michigan State’s lead to double digits. UNC never recovered, suffering its first loss on the season.
The Tar Heels made a late push, cutting the deficit to three points midway through the second half, but that’s as close as they’d get as the Spartans, led by Fears’ 19 points, soon pulled away.
“He controls the game,” UNC coach Hubert Davis said. “He’s big, strong, plays under control… I felt like his presence out there on both ends of the floor really settled them. And he played a really good game tonight. I was very impressed.”
UNC started the season by stacking six wins for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign. The Tar Heels will have to wait for a bit longer for the seventh.
Here’s what we learned from North Carolina’s loss to Michigan State (7-0):
Spartans dominate on the boards
North Carolina entered Thanksgiving having outrebounded all of its opponents by a margin of seven or more.
It was evident pretty early on against the Spartans that continuing this trend would be a struggle for the Tar Heels. At one point midway through the first half, Michigan State had outrebounded UNC 11-4.
Veesaar missed a chance for a defensive rebound, instead batting the ball out of bounds. He clapped his hands in frustration, shaking his head. Senior guard Elijah Davis yelled from the bench to box out. His father, coach Davis, yelled “everyone has to come back!” to the team, bunching his hands together to emphasize the importance of everyone crashing the boards.
The team listened, and pretty soon, multiple stops and defensive rebounds helped fuel a brief 8-0 run for the Tar Heels.
But that didn’t last very long. The Spartans ended the game with 37 boards to UNC’s 30. Michigan State particularly excelled in defensive rebounding, pulling down 25 to North Carolina’s 18.
“We knew that it was going to be a physical game, and I do feel like we met that challenge at the beginning of the game,” coach Davis said. “It just goes back to being able to sustain it, and that’s something that this group has to do.”

Tar Heels struggle to contain Fears
The Spartans stormed back into the game with a 13-0 run late in the first half, powered in large part by Fears. The stellar point guard had four assists during that three minute stretch and backed up his playmaking with plenty of trash talk.
Fears entered Thursday averaging a nation-high 10.4 assists per game and assist rate of over 50%. He showed exactly why on Tuesday evening, finishing with seven dimes to power his team and rile up the large legion of Spartans fans in the process. Fears also added his 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting.

His dribble drives routinely forced UNC to collapse. That exposed openings for his teammates to exploit when North Carolina failed to rotate or help on defense.
The highlight, of course, was his alley-oop to Carson Cooper, who finished with a nasty left-handed slam.
It would’ve been hard for any team, or any player, to stop Fears — especially with that kind of performance. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo called it Fears’ best all-around game.
But it still begs the question: what would UNC guard Seth Trimble have been able to do on Fears, if he was healthy?
Fouls hamstring UNC frontcourt
After he was whistled for a loose ball foul with just over seven minutes remaining in the first half, Veesaar was sent to the bench. He stayed there until halftime, watching as UNC relinquished a seven-point lead.
Reserve forward James Brown took Veesaar’s place, with fellow backup Zayden High also seeing some minutes late in the first half when Wilson picked up a second foul.
That bench-heavy rotation, which also included Jonathan Powell, struggled to contain the Spartans. High added a putback layup late in the first half that cut UNC’s deficit to three, but North Carolina didn’t get much bench production outside of that.
With a 3-pointer from Powell, the Tar Heels only mustered five bench points.
“I wouldn’t specifically single out the bench,” Davis said. “North Carolina’s North Carolina. We’re all a team.”
Veesaar and Wilson returned in the second half to combine for 19 points after halftime. Veesaar, at one point, went on a personal 7-0 run.
But it wasn’t enough to get the job done, especially with the Spartans’ 28 paint points in the second half alone.
“I talked about points in the paint going into the game… they shot 51%. That’s just not going to work,” Davis said. “And then our struggles being able to shoot the ball from the perimeter. So there’s a number of things that we’ve got to get better at, clean up and continue to become more consistent. And that comes from everybody on the team.”

During the Thursday, November 27, episode of The Kardashians, Khloé, 41, and mom Kris Jenner filmed a promotional video for Freakier Friday. Khloé was subsequently asked in a confessional if there was a sibling — besides Kendall Jenner — that she wanted to switch bodies with for a day.
“I would Freaky Friday with Kylie. I would do that because it is Kylie Jenner,” Khloé quipped. “We have cool friends. We have fun animals. We live in a fairy tale. We’re not dating basketball players [because] we are going to the game court side.”
She continued: “Kylie is a little bit of Snow White but a little bit of Pretty Woman. Also, I would love to know what those boobs feel like.”

Kylie, 28, meanwhile, wasn’t upset by Khloé’s response. After a brief pause, she told producers: “I’m OK with that. I decided.” The reality star previously opened up about going under the knife — and the regrets that came with that.
“I got my breasts done before [my daughter] Stormi — within six months of having Stormi — not thinking I would have a child when I was 20,” she shared on a July 2023 episode of The Kardashians before adding that she had “beautiful breasts” that were the “perfect size” that she later wished “never got” done.

Kylie, who made her first TV appearance at 9 years old on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, previously denied the insinuation that she had an overwhelming amount of plastic surgery.
“I think a big misconception about me is that I’ve had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn’t!” Kylie told HommeGirls magazine in April 2023. “Yeah, I love full lips and wanted full lips, but growing up I was always the most confident person in the room. I was the girl performing for everyone.”
Kylie did acknowledge that getting lip filler “was the best thing” she ever did. “I don’t regret it,” she said about tweaking her “lip insecurity” over the years. “But I always thought I was cute [before].”
While filming a June 2024 episode of The Kardashians, Kylie broke down in tears while discussing the rude comments she received about her face over the years.
“It’s a miracle that I still have confidence and can still look in the mirror and think that I am pretty,” Kylie admitted. “Because I just feel like after Paris [Fashion Week in October 2023] there was this picture, which for the first time I was like, ‘We are not going to wear a lot of makeup.’ So when I’m wearing too much makeup [I get told], ‘You’re wearing too much makeup,’” she noted. “Then when I’m not wearing a lot of makeup and someone catches me in a weird light. You can look at pictures when I was 13 and I just have these lines but I have had them since I was a child.”
“I just hear nasty things about myself all the time. I think after 10 plus years of hearing about this, it just gets exhausting,” she continued. “I am so numb to people talking about my looks at this point. I just want to know why on the internet no one says anything or they think that it is OK.”
She added. “I went on a journey last year dissolving half of my lip filler. I hate even having this conversation over and over and over again because it feels like it’s a waste of my breath. I think with me it is never going to change.”

Kylie started crying about how the online comments hurt her feelings.
“Why do people think it is OK to talk about me? I have never cried about this before but I guess it does affect me” she concluded. “And then I will see some comments or someone saying, ‘This is really mean. Why are we talking about her looks? This is 2024’ And the other comment will be like, ‘Because she did it to herself. She f***** up her face and had so much surgery.’”
Hulu releases new episodes of The Kardashians on Thursdays.
“They called me today and they’re like, ‘Everything looks great but you have an aneurysm in your brain,’” she revealed to sister Kourtney Kardashian. “They’re like, ‘It’s been there for years.’”
“I called Keith Black — the brain surgeon. I sent him a picture of my scan and he was like, ‘I want you to come in for all this imaging,’” she continued. “Then I asked, ‘Can I wait? What makes it rupture?’ And they’re like, ‘Just stress.’”
The reality star concluded: “I’m like, ‘OK, I’m taking the bar exam and I’m studying 10 hours a day.’ The stress has been next level to the point of hives.”
The season 7 trailer of the hit Hulu series showed Kim lying in an MRI machine before finding out she had an aneurysm, which is swelling in a blood vessel of the brain. After causing concern off screen, Kim was asked about her health on Good Morning America, where she explained earlier this month, “I had to end up going and getting tons of other brain scans at Cedars-Sinai [Medical Center].”
Kim noted that “everything works out” for her and said her scan was “just a good measure to make sure you always check everything.”
“Health is wealth,” she added. “And you just have to be careful with everything that you do.”
Kim’s health scare came amid her ongoing attempt to become an attorney. After previously passing the “baby bar” exam, Kim said she would become a qualified lawyer before the end of the year.
“In California, the way I’m studying law you need to take 2 bar exams, this was just the first one but with the harder pass rate,” she wrote via Instagram in 2021. “I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.”
“Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar,” she wrote via Instagram on November 8. “No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination. Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far.”
She added: “Falling short isn’t a failure — it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let’s Go!!!!!!!!!”

Kody Brown has no problem getting rid of his facial hair — as long as it means more kisses from wife Robyn Brown.
Robyn, 47, revealed during the Sunday, November 16, episode of Sister Wives that Kody’s mustache and beard made it “painful” to kiss him, which was all Kody, 56, needed to hear to make a change.
“Would I get kissed more if it was gone?” Kody asked his wife, who replied, “Yes.”
Robyn confessed that Kody’s beard made it feel like she was kissing “one of those vegetable scrubbers from your kitchen sink.” She told the cameras, “I get poked all the time. It’s so uncomfortable.”
Kody and Robyn Brown got real about their unexpected transition to monogamy in the season 20 premiere of Sister Wives. During the Sunday, September 28, episode of the TLC series, Kody, 56, admitted that ending his relationships with Christine, Meri and Janelle Brown felt like doing a “walk of shame.” Robyn, 46, later revealed she’d […]
Kody, meanwhile, was quick to cater to Robyn’s needs, telling the cameras, “I got to get rid of this beard, so I’ll get kissed more.”
After declaring, “We’re shaving it right now,” Kody double checked that he would be rewarded if he was clean shaving.
“Promise me we’re going to make out like teenagers. And I promise you that [it] won’t bother me a bit,” Kody told Robyn as he pulled out the razor and began trimming his beard.

Once Kody buzzed off his mustache and was left with just a goatee on his chin, Robyn couldn’t help but swoon.
“Oh, look at that jawline. I haven’t seen that in a while,” Robyn said, flirting with her husband. “I think he looks younger. He looks good.”
Both Robyn and Kody were giddy as they started to kiss in the bathroom. “I’m going to get kissed now, man. Kisses for Kody,” he said in a confessional.
“Hi,” Robyn cheekily told Kody in between kissing him. “I like it!”
She told viewers Kody looked “so much better,” gushing about how happy his new look made her. “Oh, my goodness. That’s like, ‘Yeah, let’s just make out. That’ll be great,’” Robyn added.
While Robyn revealed she preferred Kody clean shaven, her former sister wives had mixed feelings about facial hair.
“Someone said kissing a man without a mustache is like eating an egg without salt,” Christine Brown said in a confessional, hinting she’s a fan of men who have beards. (Christine’s husband, David Woolley, whom she wed in October 2023, has a mustache and goatee.)
Meri Brown added, “I think facial hair on guys is attractive.”
Janelle Brown, for her part, said she doesn’t have a “strong opinion” about the topic. “I know I don’t want too much, I’m not really into the full beard or whatever, but I think it just depends on the individual,” she shared.
As Sister Wives fans know, Kody previously had four wives. He married Meri, 54, in 1990, before entering spiritual unions with Janelle, 56, and Christine, 53, in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Robyn joined the polygamous family in 2010.
Kody later divorced Meri in 2014 to legally marry Robyn and adopt her three children from a prior marriage. He remained in a spiritual marriage with Meri until she confirmed in January 2023 that they parted ways.
Kody and Meri’s split came after Christine left him in November 2021 and Janelle announced their separation in December 2022.

While Robyn and Kody went through a rough patch amid their family shakeup, she revealed during Sunday’s episode that their romantic connection was back.
“Because of [the] other wives, you know, I’ve always just been really careful,” Robyn told the cameras of her approach to PDA. “Kody and I wouldn’t be affectionate publicly, but now that it’s just the two of us, we flirt a lot.”
Duke’s Isaiah Evans (3) celebrates in the second half of Duke’s 75-60 victory over Texas in the Dick Vitale Invitational at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C., Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025.

Charlotte
They came to Charlotte on Tuesday to help honor Dick Vitale, long one of the leading and certainly loudest voices of college basketball – the man called “Dickie V.”
Duke, ranked No. 6 in preseason, accepted the opportunity to open a new basketball season in the Dick Vitale Invitational at the Spectrum Center. So, too, the Texas Longhorns, who began the season with a new coach, Sean Miller.
It seemed fitting. As former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a video tribute to Vitale shown before the game, “His vocabulary became a part of our sports lexicon.”
After the tribute, and some tears by an emotional Vitale at courtside, the Blue Devils and Longhorns tipped it off to start the season and the Blue Devils came away with a 75-60 victory.
For Duke, it was the 26th straight season-opening victory. And it would not be a 40-minute Cameron Boozer showcase for NBA scouts.

The 6-9 freshman was held scoreless in the first half, which had the Longhorns grittily taking a 33-32 lead. Boozer’s first college points came in the first minute of the second half, and he would finish the game with his first college double-double: 15 points and 13 rebounds.
“I think he’s one of the best players in the country,” Texas coach Sean Miller said. “I have hard time thinking there’s a freshman who’s better. He’s a one-man wrecking crew.”
Sophomore Isaiah Evans gave the Blue Devils the needed offense in the first half, getting on one of his 3-point tears and scoring 15 of his 23 points – and having some fun doing it. Boozer was more of a factor after halftime and the Blue Devils stayed in front by spacing their offense better while continuing to battle on the defensive end in limiting Texas to 32 percent shooting with 16 turnovers and just six assists.
“Our defense carried us the whole time. Once we started to finish possessions without fouling, we made it tough on them to score,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said.
Duke had a 51-48 lead midway through the second half before an 8-0 run that ended with an Evans basket. They added to the lead from there for a solid victory to start things off. Texas, which got 16 points from 6-8 junior Dailyn Swain, could not make a late run.
“They were really good last year and had a chance to win it, and I think they’re really good this year and will have a chance to win it,” Miller said of the Blue Devils, who lost in the 2025 NCAA semifinals
What was learned about the Devils in the victory?

Cameron Boozer recovers from slow start
Cameron Boozer made it all look so easy, almost effortless, in the two exhibition games the Devils played. The big man averaged 28.5 points and 17.5 rebounds and was too much to handle for either Central Florida or Tennessee.
But the season opener, when everything becomes official and the stats all count, was the opposite for him in the first half. Shots inside did not fall. Nor did the outside jumper. Nor the front end of a one-and-one.
At halftime, Boozer’s stat sheet showed him 0-7 from the field, 0-3 on 3-pointers and zero points. He did have two personal fouls, one of them a touch foul.
“Coach Scheyer challenged me at halftime, said I was playing soft,” Boozer said, drawing a second look from Scheyer, seated by his side at postgame press conference
His response in the second half? Boozer took the ball inside and was fouled, making two free throws for his first college points. He had a two-hand slam that had the crowd roaring. He then made a neat feed thorugh traffic to Patrick Ngongba II for a dunk.
Boozer was more determined, more focused. He didn’t force anything. He played big, with composure.
“He doesn’t have his best stuff and comes out the second half and has a 15 and (13) night. Not bad. Not bad at all,” Scheyer said.

Blue Devils happy to have Brown back
Duke coach Jon Scheyer said throughout preseason practices that the Blue Devils needed Maliq Brown back in the lineup to be a more complete team.
The 6-9 senior was slowed much of last season with shoulder issues. That healed after a lot of rehab work, but Brown then needed a knee procedure before preseason began.
Everything pointed to Brown, the Devils’ best defender, being ready for the opener. He did not start the game, but was Duke’s first substitute and immediately went to work.
Defending Texas’ Lassina Traore at the top of the key, Brown used his long reach to get a piece of the ball, which bounded into the backcourt. Duke’s Darren Harris and Brown chased after it, Harris diving across the floor to knock the ball off Traore and out of bounds for a turnover.
Those are the kind of hustle plays that an active Brown can initiate, that the Blue Devils will need.
“He’ll be better and better. We’ll continue to get him back to where he wants to be,” Scheyer said.

Longhorns tried to rough up the Devils
The Longhorns found a way to disrupt Duke’s offense in the first half – effectively, if ultra physically.
The Horns banged bodies, slapped, whacked, locked arms, did whatever worked to disrupt the Blue Devils. Scheyer had a few words – or more than a few words – with the three refs working the game, but the first 20 minutes produced some ragged, ragged basketball as neither team could find any flow to their game.
Duke missed its first five shots and a pair of free throws before Dame Sarr gave the Devils their first basket of the season with a 3 from the left corner with 16:31 left in the first half – credit Brown with the first assist.
Texas had little success stopping or slowing Evans, who knocked down four 3’s in scoring 15 first-half points. But Cameron Boozer couldn’t get started and showed some frustration at times.
The Longhorns didn’t let up on the rough stuff on the offensive end, either. Matas Vokietaitis, an awkward 7-foot center, tried to straight-line his way to the basket when he got the ball anywhere need the lane. Late in the first half, the FAU transfer turned, put his shoulders down and flattened a Duke defender without dribbling, overcooking it and turning the ball over.
The Lithuanian, the American Athletic Conference freshman of the year last season, made enough bullish moves to get to the line for five first-half free throws and made them all with a weird flick of the wrist shooting motion.
By the second half, Duke fans were booing Vokietaitis every time he touched the ball. He finished with 15 points and eight rebounds.
“If the crowd is booing him, he must be doing something right,” said Texas guard Jordan Pope, who also had 15 points.

N.C. State is going to owe the ACC some money this week after its students rushed the field following the Wolfpack’s game against Georgia Tech, but the reason for the fine will likely take the sting out of the financial burden.
N.C. State had some hiccups in its homecoming outing, for sure, but it played arguably its most complete game of the season against No. 8 Georgia Tech at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday, and handed the Yellow Jackets their first loss of the season, earning a 48-36 home win.
“It’s special when you have a top 10 win at home,” N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said. “Night games in the Carter are so special. Just proud of them, proud of our staff.
“Resiliency is what this place is about. It’s why I’ve always loved N.C. State. It’s definitely a part of my DNA, and the harder it gets, sometimes I think the better we are. We’re going to enjoy this one tonight.”
The offense rolled all night, the defense bent but didn’t break, and special teams did not make any major errors.
N.C. State’s win snaps its two-game losing streak and is the Pack’s first victory over a ranked team since Nov. 25, 2022, when the Wolfpack upset then-No. 18 North Carolina, 30-27, in double overtime at Kenan Stadium. It was also the first time N.C. State (5-4, 2-3 ACC) hosted a top 10 team since 2021 (a game against Clemson, which the Pack incidentally also won).

The term “complementary football” or some form of the phrase has been used by a member of the N.C. State football program roughly a dozen times in the team’s past four organized news conferences. It wasn’t something the Wolfpack has seen this season.
The biggest beneficiary of that philosophy Saturday? Running back Duke Scott. With the ACC’s leading rusher, Hollywood Smothers, out with an injury, Scott, a redshirt freshman, put on a historic performance, posting 196 yards on the ground, the 11th-most rushing yards in a game in program history.
Quarterback CJ Bailey also got out to a hot start for the Wolfpack. He went 10 for 10 passing for 104 yards and one touchdown in the first quarter and added 35 yards on the ground, including an 11-yard touchdown. The sophomore finished 24-for-32 with 340 yards and two touchdowns.
In another “next man up” situation, with starter Justin Joly sidelined, tight ends Dante Daniels and Cody Hardy both made significant plays early, with Hardy scoring his second touchdown as a Wolfpack player to put the team up 7-0.
The Pack added a second score on its second drive of the night, to maintain a one-possession lead.

N.C. State’s defense struggled at times against the high-octane Georgia Tech offense and allowed the Yellow Jackets to record five explosive plays in the first two drives. However, it held Georgia Tech to a 43-yard field goal on the second drive.
Later in the game, the Wolfpack defense looked poised to force another field goal. However, officials called true freshman safety Tristan Teasdell for pass interference in the end zone and gave the Yellow Jackets a fresh set of downs. Georgia Tech scored to take its first lead of the game.

N.C. State responded. Hardy once again made a big play late in the second quarter. Freshman quarterback Will Wilson jumped over multiple Georgia Tech defenders for what looked like a 9-yard rushing touchdown prior to losing possession. Officials ruled it a fumble, despite the ball appearing to break the plane during Wilson’s run, but Hardy recovered it and ensured the points went on the board.
On the following drive, N.C. State kicker Kanoah Vinesett made a 34-yard field goal to regain a seven-point advantage.
N.C. State’s defense ended the first half and started the second with two significant drives, holding the Yellow Jackets to a pair of field goal attempts. Georgia Tech made one of the two.
Georgia Tech added another two touchdowns. It finished with 15 explosive plays, but the Wolfpack stole the show.

Six receivers finished with at least 30 yards. Teddy Hoffmann and Noah Rogers surpassed 70 yards apiece.
The Wolfpack defense had four players with at least 10 tackles, too.
“I’ve been telling them that it’d be really fun to see how good we are if we could play four quarters of complementary football,” Doeren said. “I don’t think anyone can beat us when we play like that. Tonight, it’s nice to have an illustration of what that looks like.”
Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King ended the night 25 of 39 passing for 408 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He added 103 yards on the ground and found the end zone twice.
“You’re not going to completely stop Haynes King,” Doeren said. “He’s a really good player, and my hat’s off to him. I’ve always enjoyed watching him. He’s a tough kid, but the defense did enough to give our offense possessions and field position where they could go score.”
Here’s what else we learned in the Wolfpack’s win:
Red zone remains key for offensive success
N.C. State entered the game ranked No. 3 in the ACC for red zone offense, converting on 23 of 25 (92%) of its opportunities inside the 20. Of those chances, the team scored 20 touchdowns.
The team has lost two straight games, and its inability to find the red zone was one of the common denominators. It never reached that part of the field in its 36-7 loss at Notre Dame. N.C. State went 1 for 1 in the red zone during its 53-34 loss to Pittsburgh last week.

The Wolfpack found the red zone on its first two drives against Georgia Tech, punching it in for a touchdown on both trips. It added a third touchdown and field goal in the first half, going 4 for 4.
In the second half, the Wolfpack offense was perfect in the red zone. It finished the night 6-6.
Fordham adds fire on defense
Caden Fordham missed half of last season after tearing his ACL in practice and was officially cleared for contact practice shortly before fall camp. The linebacker, however, hasn’t looked like his pre-injury self for most of the fall, despite having several strong outings. It finally felt like he was a real threat.
One of Fordham’s biggest plays came on Georgia Tech’s final drive before the half. He and defensive end Chase Bonds wrapped up King for a loss of nine yards and pushed the offense back to midfield. That play helped the defense hold the Yellow Jackets to the missed 54-yard field goal attempt.

The team captain also recorded nine tackles, three solo, and a quarterback hurry all before the break. Doeren said it was Fordham’s best game.
“I told the guys before the game, we gotta go out there. We can’t play tentative,” Fordham said. “We gotta go play fast and whatever you see, believe in it and go attack. That’s what everyone did tonight, and it worked out.”
He finished with 15 tackles, tying his season high, one tackle for loss, half a sack and the lone QB pressure. Oh, and Fordham grabbed the interception — his first career pick — to end the game.
It was good to have him back in full force.
Bailey is more decisive on his feet
Doeren said last week he wanted to see more rushing plays from Bailey.
“I told him after the game, ‘You can run, man. If things aren’t there, run the football,’” Doeren told reporters after the loss at Pitt. “Get us first downs in the legs.”
Bailey threw for more than 300 yards, but he still made a handful of plays on the ground and looked decisive when doing so — despite being clearly injured.
In the first quarter, he gained 19 yards with a rush up the middle and put his team across midfield. He added an 11-yard rushing touchdown on the second drive of the game, scampering to the end zone.
With 4:48 remaining in the game, Bailey once again found a seam and picked up a gain of six yards for a first down. He finished with 34 rushing yards.

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This raised the stakes with more breakups, a conversion and an engagement — but where did each character end up?
The hit Netflix series picked up after Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) decided to give their unlikely romance a real shot. Things were going well until Noah had to leave his congregation because he was passed over for a job due to Joanne being agnostic.
Noah ultimately joined a more free-thinking temple, which took the pressure off Joanne considering whether she should or shouldn’t convert to Judaism. That didn’t last long, however, as a chance eviction led to Joanne realizing that she was ready to move in with Noah — while he thought they were moving too quickly.
This resulted in a major fight in the season 2 finale. Noah and Joanne broke up but were ultimately able to work things out when Noah realized Joanne was his person. Joanne, meanwhile, came to the conclusion that she could see herself converting.
Adam Rose/Netflix The second season of Nobody Wants This is about to start filming after blowing up online — but is every fan favorite returning for more episodes of the show? Nobody Wants This, which premiered in September 2024, centered on the unlikely relationship between an outspoken, agnostic woman Joanne (played by Kristen Bell) and […]
Not everyone had a similar happy ending by the end of the season, which premiered on Thursday, October 23. Morgan (Justine Lupe) found love with Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed) who turned out to not only be a therapist but her therapist as well.
Despite Joanne’s objections, Morgan continued to date Dr. Andy and they even got engaged. But Morgan couldn’t avoid the red flags and pulled the plug at their engagement party. She also continued to grow closer to Sasha (Timothy Simons), whose marriage to Esther (Jackie Tohn) hit major issues.
Esther spent the entire season questioning whether she was happy. She realized she wasn’t and asked for a break from Sasha but it didn’t seem to be over for good. Elsewhere in season 2, Morgan and Joanne’s mom, Lynn (Stephanie Faracy), was the only one to convert to Judaism so far while Joanne made progress with Noah’s mother, Bina (Tovah Feldshuh).
“We wanted to end on romance, not religion,” creator Erin Foster told Tudum about the ending. “The romance is him saying, ‘I don’t care what you are, I’m choosing you.’ We don’t really need to hear her saying, ‘Oh, my God, you’re not going to believe this. I’ve been Jewish this entire time.’ Because we know that’s about to happen.”
She added: “She’s trying so hard to see it that she can’t see it. She’s yearning for something to give her structure, purpose, boundaries, values and traditions. Judaism can give her all of those things. … She’s enjoying all these different things about Judaism,” said Foster. “But she keeps thinking God is going to just come down from the sky and be like, ‘And now you’re Jewish!’”
“It’s not Noah against Joanne,” Bell told Tudum. “It’s Joanne and Noah against the problem, which I think is a great framework to come at any relationship with.”
Nobody Wants This is currently streaming on Netflix.
After hinting that Bode will be struggling with his sobriety, Fire Countryhad him slip up — for 10 seconds.
During the Friday, October 24, episode of the CBS series, Bode (Max Thieriot) was struggling after father Vince’s (Billy Burke) death. Station 42 then had to deal with a change in leadership when Brett (Shawn Hatosy) arrived to assess how a firefighter got killed in the line of duty.
Bode, who thought he deserved to take over in his father’s place, wasn’t thrilled to be working with Brett and went against his orders multiple times. But by the end of the episode even Bode’s mother, Sharon (Diane Farr), agreed that Brett wasn’t in the wrong — Bode was.
This led to the episode’s final scene where Bode went to his locker where he had stored the pills he claimed to have thrown out. Instead, Bode appeared to fall off the wagon for a very brief amount of time.
Bode took the painkiller and in exactly 10 seconds he was throwing it back up. The final scene was Bode coming to terms with his decision even though it remained unclear whether this was his rock bottom or not.
“Bode is a recovering addict. That’s something that he struggles with and we’ve seen him really successfully put that in the background for a lot of our show,” showrunner Tia Napolitano explained exclusively to Us Weekly. “With Vince’s passing and Gabriela leaving, it felt like that’s a real challenge that a person experiencing addiction problems would face. We wanted to honor that authenticity and watch him struggle. It won’t be easy and we’re going to root for him to really overcome it and be on that roller-coaster with him.”
Napolitano noted that Brett’s appearance at Station 42 would only make things worse for some.
CBS
“He really walks a line of letting us wonder if he’s a good guy or a bad guy. We get to know him and we will have him for some episodes. We will see him later in the season as well,” she teased. “We really want to invest in this character. We get to know him over the course of the arc. People want to know who is this guy and what’s his agenda? Can we trust him?”
Napolitano wouldn’t give away Brett’s true motives, saying, “The things that we’ll discover about his style, about where he’s from and what his backstory is will surprise us as we dole out these little breadcrumbs to figuring out who Richards is.”
Season 4, which premiered earlier this month, picked up after Vince’s shocking death and Gabriela’s (Stephanie Arcila) decision to leave Edgewater. The CBS series surprised viewers with the shakeups, which Napolitano defended.
CBS’ Fire Country isn’t just a show about inmates fighting fires — there’s an impressive guest star list as well. The show, which premiered in 2022, follows Bode (Max Thieriot) as he gets a chance to shorten his prison sentence by volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program. Bode gets assigned to his hometown where […]
“It’s a fire show. Anyone can go at any time,” she said about the character deaths and departures. “But in terms of losing people, we’re also adding some really fun guest cast. It’s a revolving door of people from Sharon’s past and new faces that are exciting to bring conflict and secrets and twists and turns.”
“What we’ve done is really thread the needle of honoring — especially Vince — because Gabriella is gone but she’s gone to a happy and successful life. She’s still out there. But we really walk this line of honoring Vince while also finding hope rather quickly,” she noted. “Looking forward, the theme of the season is rising from the ashes and recovery.”

Napolitano continued: “How do you recover from something like this and we’re really going to see everybody rise to the occasion. In celebration of Vince, of his life and in honoring the sacrifice that he made.”
Fire Country airs on CBS Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes will be streaming the next day on Paramount+.
Fans finally caught a glimpse of Rob Kardashian four years after his last onscreen appearance on his family’s reality show.
In the season 7 premiere, which aired on Thursday, October 23, Rob, 38, was seen at a celebration in their past family home, with Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian praising their younger brother’s cameo.
“I know everyone is hoping that Rob comes back to the show. Trust me, we are too,” Khloé, 41, explained. “Rob is doing well. He is alive.”
“The conspiracies run wild and one of them is that he lives with me and he’s in our shadows and we don’t want him around,” she noted. “He isn’t some miserable person that lives under a bridge. We are totally fine.”
In her own confessional, Kourtney, 46, said she loved “having him around” while Kim, 45, expressed hope for more onscreen appearances.
“I do miss him being on the show because he is just so funny,” Kim shared. “It would be great if he would regularly be back on the show. That is the goal.”
A past scene from The Kardashians showed Khloé asking Rob about his plans to come back and start filming, to which he replied, “I mean, I’m down.”
Rob originally played a large role in his family’s reality TV empire when Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiered in 2007. The E! series later started to document his emotional struggles and weight gain until Rob chose to make less appearances. He made a brief reality return during his tumultuous relationship with Blac Chyna in 2016 but their series, Rob & Chyna, was canceled following their split.
Eagle-eyed fans have caught glimpses of Rob out of the frame on The Kardashians. Rob has yet to mark an official return as he continues to focus on raising his and Blac Chyna‘s 8-year-old daughter, Dream.
Working on himself! Rob Kardashian first became a household name upon appearing on his family’s E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. From there, fans have seen how the sock designer has adjusted to life in Hollywood and how his body has changed over the years. Kris Jenner’s only son has experienced fluctuating weight […]
“He’s still very private and isn’t active on social media. [He] doesn’t share a lot about his personal life,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2022. “He’s dating but is also private about that. He’s been on this amazing health and wellness journey and continues to make that his focus. He’s in good shape and is happy with how far he’s come. He’s never going to stop caring about his mental health and overall health — it’s important to him so he can be the best father to Dream.”
Rob previously made a small but very memorable cameo on The Kardashians. During an October 2023 episode, Kris Jenner enlisted her son in helping find the right woman for Scott Disick.
“They have to have a sense of humor. He is one of the funniest guys I know. He reminds me so much of my son, Rob,” she told the cameras before giving Rob a call. “Rob! What do you think is the perfect girl for Scott?”

Rob responded with a phrase that got censored out. Kris, 67, appeared stunned by his answer, saying, “Oh, never mind. OK. I will talk to you later.”
Viewers got a hint at Rob’s phrase of choice when a producer noted Disney wouldn’t let them include “**** whore” — as the subtitle read — on screen. “We will just bleep it,” Kris quipped.
Hulu releases new episodes of The Kardashians every Thursday.
Below Deck Mediterranean will be going through some changes — and bosun Nathan Gallagher has to make the decision after a “very dangerous” incident with guests.
During the Monday, October 20, episode of the hit Bravo series, Nathan struggled with his deck team: Max Salvador, Christian Trimino and Tessa Budd. He questioned how long they could deal with mistakes including Tessa forgetting to fill a jet ski up with fuel. The situation got worse when Nathan instructed Christian to watch over the guests at night.
Christian was told not to let the clearly inebriated group into the water without supervision. The guests ultimately asked Christian to just dip their feet in the ocean, which turned into one of them slipping into the water. By chance, Nathan caught the moment while near a surveillance monitor and rushed in to shut it down.
Nathan told Christian that he was warned how “under no circumstances can the guests go in the water.” The bosun pointed out that it was “not safe” while Christian said in a confessional that he was listening to what the primary wanted, adding, “Nothing happened so it was a successful night.”
Below Deck and its spinoff series may be reality TV shows, but there can be real-life consequences for the crew’s actions both on and off the ship. Over the years, stars including Hannah Ferrier, Peter Hunziker and Shane Coopersmith have been fired from their respective charters for a variety of reasons. Below Deck Mediterranean’s Hannah […]
“Things have gone from people being incompetent to being very dangerous,” he noted. “I have to raise my concerns to [Captain] Sandy [Yawn].”
Sandy was even less thrilled when she was informed of what took place.
Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
“Allowing a drunk guest in the water with very little oversight is a big no-no,” she told Nathan about the incident. “Safety is non-negotiable. I need to make a change and I need to make it quickly.”
At the end of the episode, Sandy reconvened with Nathan where they discussed how the deck team was “circus on steroids.” Nathan went on to highlight how there “is a lack of experience and motivation.”
“I think we need to replace Christian or Tessa with someone with more experience,” she explained. “But I want you to figure out based on experience and leadership who you are going to let go. This is your call.”
Season 10, which premiered in September, reunited Aesha Scott with Captain Sandy and now-bosun Nathan. In addition to past Below Deck star deckhand Max, the rest of the crew includes Chef Josh Bingham, stews Kizzi Kitchener and Victoria SanJuan and deckhands Christian and Tessa.
Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen Below Deck Mediterranean cast members come and go — but not before they brought the drama to the small screen. The spinoff series, which premiered in 2016, seemingly found a permanent crew member in chief stew Hannah Ferrier. The Australia native appeared in five seasons of the hit […]
“Consistency makes a better boat,” Sandy exclusively told Us Weekly about hoping to remain with some of the same crew season to season. “You’re not always training people and they’re not always finding their feet. But to be honest, every boat that we get every season is different. It’s rare we get the same boat every season.”
Thank You!

Sandy explained that there are always obstacles, sharing, “No matter if you return or not, you’re still going to have to figure out the boat because it’ll probably be a different one. Having consistency when we return is great because the trust factor for me is there — or the watch factor to make sure I keep an eye on them. Because sometimes they’re just not great at certain things but they’re great at others.”
She concluded: “Aesha is well-rounded. [With Nathan], I think unless you’re pushed into something, you’re never going to know if you’re a fit. I think pressure makes us better. I do apply the pressure and let’s see how well Nathan handles that pressure.”
Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
Love triangles involving brothers is a hot TV trend that even Justin Hartley‘s hit CBS series Tracker is hopping on
During the Sunday, October 19, episode of the hit CBS series, Colter (Hartley) reunited with his brother, Russell (Jensen Ackles), before they met with Reenie (Fiona Rene). Russell subtly tried to get Colter to give him the scoop on Reenie’s love life after previously showing his interest in the lawyer.
“Speaking of boyfriends, what do you know about Reenie’s boyfriend? Because I’m calling [bulls***]. She said they were in a weird place. When I pressed her, she gave me that look,” Russell explained. “So I just moved on.”
Colter seemed confused by Russell’s invested interest in Reenie’s partner but Russell kept pushing, asking, “Is he a tech bro? A soy boy? An alpha or beta or a coffee guy or a scholar? That’s probably her jam, isn’t it?”
Justin Hartley‘s Tracker character, Colter, might not be looking for romance — but it always seems to find him. When Tracker premiered in February 2024, viewers quickly found themselves introduced to Colter. A survivalist who identifies as a lone-wolf but travels the country helping find missing people, dogs and more? Consider Us sold. It definitely […]
“Damn it. I mean that seems kind of expected. He seems good? But good for her? I know you got an opinion about this,” he added. “You got an opinion about every damn thing.”
In response, Colter noted that it was not his “business,” saying, “I stay in my lane, she stays in hers.” Russell, however, brought up the “one time” Reenie “swerved over” to Colter’s lane when they hooked up before the season 1 premiere.
“It was a long time ago,” Colter fired back. “I think it’s best if we just focus on the job.”
Based on Jeffery Deaver‘s novel The Never Game, Tracker has viewers tuning in each week to see their favorite fictional survivalist — a.k.a Colter — travel the country to help solve missing person cases, track down information on criminal cases and so much more. Colter usually receives help from his team, which includes his attorney Reenie.
“Reenie loves some of that attention. Who doesn’t love a little bit of validation here and there? We’re all human,” Rene exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. “But I think Reenie is looking for the caliber of man who can be emotionally, physically and mentally available. [Someone] in the same state who she doesn’t have to track down every single time she wants to talk to him. I think that that’s pretty pertinent.”
She continued: “[She wants] to have someone who is willing to put her as a priority — and that’s hard. For Russell and Colter, I don’t know if Reenie trusts that either of them are capable of doing all of those things. [They should] prove me wrong.”
At the time, Rene also weighed in on Reenie and Colter exploring a romance in the future.
“I think deep down Colter loves Reenie. I really would like to think that he has unconditional love for her,” she noted. “He really wants what’s best for Reenie and he wants to see her happy. I think Elliot at that moment is really making her happy. So I think it’s undeniable for Colter to feel that too. But does that mean that he is over it?”
“A lot of the time, Justin and I don’t talk about motivation. We don’t talk about the acting [in a scene]. We honestly come to set and we feel it out,” she added. “He’s such a phenomenal No. 1 [on the call sheet]. He wears so many hats [on set]. Not only is he an actor, but [he is focused on] the numbers of the show. It’s important to him as well as a producer. When he comes on set, he’s all about business and we even call him the Terminator.”
She continued: “But then he takes off that hat, he puts on his actor hat and he genuinely plays. It’s such a dream for an actor to be able to come on set and work together to find what feels right between their characters. Justin is always up for that. And for someone wearing so many hats, to be able to let all of that go and play in that moment is honestly the dream. I hope I can do the same.”
Tracker airs on CBS Sundays at 8:30 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
Peacock’s Devil in Disguise was an eerie glimpse into John Wayne Gacy‘s crimes — and execution — but how did the true crime series wrap up?
The scripted series, which premiered on Thursday, October 16, started with the 10-day investigation into the disappearance of teenager Robert Piest, which led to Gacy’s arrest in 1978. From there, Devil in Disguise followed the events that led to his conviction and subsequent execution.
In the final scenes, the families of Gacy’s victims found out that he had died but they weren’t allowed to be in an adjoining room to watch it happen. Other key players from the investigation and trial listened to the radio announce Gacy’s death before Gabriel Luna‘s Detective Rafael Tovar visited the serial killer’s home where dozens of bodies were dug up.
“In the years that followed the horrors of 1978, the Chicago Police Department computerized data associated with missing persons so that patterns among cases could be found between districts,” read a message at the end of the series. “The Intergovernmental Missing Child Recovery Act of 1984 eliminated the 72-hour waiting period before law enforcement searched for a missing child and established the Illinois State Enforcement Agencies to Recover Children or I-SEARCH.”
Getty Images (3); MEGA From the murder of JonBenét Ramsey to convicted killer Ed Gein, there’s several scripted true crime shows coming our way soon. Paramount+ recently announced a limited series that will cover the Ramsey family before and after JonBenet’s murder in 1996. The unnamed JonBenét Ramsey series specifically centers around parents John and […]
The statement highlighted how I-SEARCH “was dedicated to locating missing youth in their respective geographical areas,” adding, “The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has reported that due to technological advances and awareness that fast action saves lives “more than 99 percent of children reported missing in America in recent years have come home alive.”
The message continued: “While this series is fictionalized, these stories reflect the hopes and vulnerabilities of generations of young people. Today’s youth face both similar and unprecedented challenges including economic instability, educational inequality, gun violence and social media pressures. We all have a role to play in fostering safe and supportive environments for everyone.”
“Six extinguished lives remain unidentified and buried in various Chicago area cemeteries. Each gravestone is inscribed with the words: We Remembered,” read a statement alongside actual clips from the burial of the unclaimed bodies. “If you believe a loved one may have been a victim of John Wayne Gacy, visit the Cook County Sheriff’s Police website at www.cookcountysheriffil.gov.”
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Marin Ireland, who played Robert’s mother, Elizabeth Piest, broke down the shot of her character looking at James Badge Dale‘s Joe Kozenczak after he saw Gacy’s execution and she didn’t.
“I think something very telling is that Yana Grebenyuk Patrick [Macmanus] did not write that as a scene with dialogue. In many ways, they’ve said all they could say to each other over all of the years. In some ways, what’s being communicated is too big for words,” Ireland explained. “It’s very telling that Elizabeth doesn’t want to waste any more words on a person that she feels like doesn’t have the capacity.”
She continued: “It’s a long relationship and it’s like any other deep disappointment with somebody that you shared a long relationship with. It’s not entirely his fault but also what else can you do but associate that person forever with these feelings?”
Gacy was a serial killer and sex offender who raped, tortured and murdered dozens of young men and boys. After he was convicted of 32 murders, he was sentenced to death and died by lethal injection in 1994.
Bureau of Prisons/Getty Images Peacock’s Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy is the latest scripted series centered around a prolific serial killer. According to the show’s synopsis, the limited TV series “peels back the twisted layers of John Wayne Gacy‘s life while weaving in the heartrending stories of his mostly gay victims.” Devil in Disguise […]
The limited series made an effort to focus on Gacy’s victims — something other shows centered around notorious murderers have been chastised for allegedly ignoring. Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacyaddressed the trauma inflicted on the victims’ families, named each episode after a victim of Gacy’s and questioned investigative missteps and systemic failures that led to Gacy evading the law for so long.

“We knew that we wanted to focus it on the victims but we didn’t exactly know what that meant until we figured out the short stories and the idea that we were talking about these victims’ lives, their hopes and their dreams and their struggles. All of the tragedies that were in their lives that had no connection to their murder at the hands of John Wayne Gacy,” Macmanus told Us. “We were showing stories that showed people struggling with their identity, people struggling with their socioeconomic conditions, people struggling with parent issues. There are millions and millions and millions of people who have all of that in their lives and they don’t kill 33 people. This allows us to talk about John Wayne Gacy without actually making it feel like we are focusing on him or that we’re excusing him. Because the last thing that we do in that show is excuse him.”
Macmanus continued: “The decision on when to show [violence] or when not to show was very simple. We were not showing it and so we knew that there were going to be moments that we would tiptoe up to the line. We weren’t going to disgrace the memory of the victims by doing a reimagining of their violent final moments in this world. So I hope that at the end of the day — as disturbing as it may be — that people also recognize that we’re ultimately honoring the victims by not showing their final moments.”
Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy is now streaming on Peacock.

After that death in the season 22 premiere, Grey’s Anatomy continued with someone revealing a surprise pregnancy — while another character chose to take a sabbatical.
During the Thursday, October 16, episode of the hit ABC series, the employees at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital were grieving Monica Beltran’s (Natalie Morales) death with Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) taking it the worst. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) was joined by Maggie (Kelly McCreary), who came back to help look after Amelia.
Their day together led to some surprise revelations when Maggie confirmed she was expecting a baby via sperm donor. Maggie noted that she hadn’t told Winston (Anthony Hill) yet. Later in the episode, Amelia made the decision to take a sabbatical so she could focus on her mental health and her friends.
Meanwhile at the hospital, the second-year residents balanced moving up the medical food chain while helping ease the new interns into the day-to-day life at the hospital. Some interns — such as Wes (Trevor Jackson) — succeeded but that led to residents like Blue (Harry Shum) failing under the pressure of trying to learn and be a teacher.

Link (Chris Carmack) was another character who was struggling. After a near-death, Link wanted to heal as quickly as possible, which stressed out his wife, Jo (Camilla Luddington). They ultimately got into a big fight but with Owen’s (Kevin McKidd) help they were able to work out their issues.
Speaking of Owen, he was adjusting to moving out of his and Teddy’s (Kim Raver) house by initially sleeping in an on-call room. By the end of the episode, he had moved into an airstream while adjusting to his new normal.

The episode also followed Jules’ (Adelaide Kane) grief journey after witnessing Monica’s death. She initially avoided facing it but thanks to some meaningful advice from Winston, Jules was able to find a way to honor her former boss.
“There’s a lot of challenges for the people who survived the blast for lots of different reasons,” he exclusively told Us Weekly. “Everybody has their own traumas from that experience in that blast, and then, picking up the pieces and trying to literally put the hospital back together and figure out how to move forward is going to be a tough dynamic to navigate for everybody and health physically, mentally and emotionally.”
“A lot of us are looking at each other in these scenes just like, ‘This is crazy,’ but I think that’s a testament to the writers,” he teased to Us. “They figured out how to do this show in a way that’s so effective for people, and that’s why people keep coming back and watching it. They just really enjoy what ride they’re gonna go on [each] week. And so, I think we’re doing a pretty good job. I think people will like it.”
Hill concluded: “This is Grey’s Anatomy, so we know that nobody’s all good ever. Shonda [Rhimes] set that tone early. I think there’s plenty of room for complications to happen with any of these characters that could end in a demise. It’s just how the show is, and it’s built-in. … We’re shooting some things that may play into that. We’re about halfway through right now, so it’s getting a little spicy.”
Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET.
When N.C. State and Notre Dame went to the locker room at halftime with the Irish leading by three Saturday, it looked like the Wolfpack was going to have a chance at an upset.
The first two quarters were a defensive rock fight, the teams combining for 387 yards of total offense and just 83 rushing yards. While N.C. State’s defense did what it could in that opening half, it ran out of gas in the second, and the Pack’s offense lacked the firepower it showed in previous outings. No. 16 Notre Dame then ran away with a 36-7 victory over N.C. State in South Bend.
“We just didn’t get it done. It’s simple,” said linebacker Caden Fordham. “We’ve got to play complementary football. We haven’t done that yet all year, in my opinion.”
Fordham added that he’s not blaming the offense, which has bailed out the defense on several occasions. The team is merely disappointed that it still hasn’t put together a full game.
“It’s tough,” Fordham said. “All of us love to play ball, so we’re going to fight for them just like they fight for us. We’re a team at the end of the day, so we’re going to play together, and we’re going to keep going back out there and giving everything we got for those guys.”
Pack quarterback CJ Bailey is a budding star, but he finished with his worst performance of the season. Bailey completed just 17 of 30 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.
The Irish held the Wolfpack to a season-low 223 yards overall, and 51 rushing yards.
Freshman quarterback Will Wilson was one of the bright spots during the team’s rough day. He entered the lineup in the first quarter and converted on the fourth-and-1 play. Wilson is now 10 of 13 on the plays he’s used for, either converting for a first down or scoring a touchdown.
Following Wilson’s conversion, Bailey connected with wide receiver Terrell Anderson for a 45-yard touchdown.
The offense, or lack of it, overshadowed the effort N.C. State showed on defense, where the team has struggled this season. It finished with a goal-line stop and forced a pair of turnovers.
Fordham and defensive back Ronnie Royal led the team with 10 tackles each. Defensive back Asaad Brown followed close behind at nine.
Travali Price and Jackson Vick made a couple of highlight-worthy contributions as well. Price jumped up to bat down one of CJ Carr’s passes and later sacked the Irish quarterback. Vick returned to the lineup for the first time since Week 3, adding a near-interception in the second half and provided coverage on a third-down stop.
Carr finished 19 of 31 for 342 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
“I applaud defense for today, because they played ball today,” Bailey said. “That was big for us.”
O-line struggles for second game in three weeks
N.C. State’s offensive line has done a decent job this season in pass protection, limiting the amount of contact CJ Bailey has taken in the backfield. Of the nine sacks allowed this fall, five took place in the Week 5 loss to Virginia Tech. In the remaining games, N.C. State allowed one sack in two games and zero against Virginia and Campbell. As a team, it has finished with a pass blocking grade above 63 in five matchups and above 75 in three, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Wolfpack struggled to control the line of scrimmage again, giving up three sacks in the first half. Two sacks came on back-to-back plays in the second quarter. Even when he wasn’t on the ground, the offensive line could not consistently handle the Fighting Irish’s defensive front and forced Bailey to scramble on two other first-half plays as the pocket collapsed.

He was sacked for a loss of 12 yards late in the third quarter, erasing half of the yardage gained on the previous two plays.
The ability to maintain leverage at the line of scrimmage and protect whoever was in the backfield had been a point of pride for the Wolfpack.
“That’s what we block for,” offensive lineman Jacarrius Peak said this week. “Us five up front block for the other six on the field, so they can do their job and make plays.”
N.C. State’s challenges in South Bend can be partially attributed to an undisclosed injury to offensive lineman Anthony Carter in the first quarter. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Carter, a graduate student from Charlotte, is one of the more experienced players in the Wolfpack’s front five. He’s also one of the more efficient players in the pass-blocking scheme, entering the game with a grade of 70.7 on PFF.
Kamen Smith replaced Carter at guard. Smith has been used at guard in five games. He came into the contest with a 67.3 pass blocking average, though he was unable to get off the block on one play and allowed an opening for the Irish defense to swarm Bailey.

Pack defense starts hot on third, fourth down
Third-down defense is one of N.C. State’s pain points this season, as it has allowed opponents to convert on 41 of 93 opportunities (44%). It is ranked No. 110 out of 134 FBS teams. Its fourth-down defense ranked No. 50, giving up six conversions on 13 opportunities (46.2%)
On Saturday, N.C. State showed improvement — at least in the first half — in its ability to pick up third- and fourth-down stops.
The Wolfpack held the Fighting Irish to 2 of 7 on third-down opportunities (28.6%) in the first half, even though Notre Dame had, on average, 5.1 yards to go. On first-half third-down opportunities with 4 yards or fewer, N.C. State did not allow a conversion on the Irish’s four tries.
Its success extended to fourth-down chances as well. Notre Dame decided against punting on two first-half drives, and it came back to hurt the team.
The Wolfpack forced a turnover on downs with inches to the first-down marker after Fordham and Tra Thomas got around their respective opponents to push CJ Carr out of bounds for a sack of 10 yards and offensive possession.
Later in the second quarter, Brown picked off Carr in the end zone. He had an assist from Devon Marshall, who was blocking the intended receiver.
The Irish, however, finished 6 of 14 (42.8%) on third down after a long day for the Wolfpack defense.
Penalties keep Irish in the game
N.C. State committed 33 penalties in its first six games and averaged 50 penalty yards per game. It lacked discipline at times during its trip to Notre Dame.
The Wolfpack was called for five total penalties for 60 yards lost, with three committed by the defense. Midway through the third quarter, N.C. State had surpassed its average penalty yardage after an offensive holding penalty and three pass interference calls on three different players. Those calls extended drives during a game where the team couldn’t really afford mistakes.

Turnover battle: Lost
Head coach Dave Doeren and the players talked about the importance of winning the turnover battle. This is always a point of emphasis, but the Fighting Irish were the best team in the nation in the turnover game, and it was a specific area where N.C. State wanted to have success.
“If you want to win a game, that’s the first thing we have to do,” Doeren said. “That takes everybody.”
Its game plan did not come to fruition.
In addition to Brown’s end-zone interception, Royal forced a fumble. Their contributions could have been the difference in the game, but they were overshadowed by the offensive collapse. N.C. State committed three turnovers in the loss.
Prior to the outing, Notre Dame’s defense led the nation in turnovers gained (9) — eight on interceptions — and averaged a plus-1 turnover margin. It added three more turnovers to its season statistics and, as expected, won the game with a positive turnover margin.

Janelle Brown had a meeting of the “ex-wives club” with Meri Brown on the latest episode of Sister Wives where they took jabs at ex-husband Kody Brown and his “type.”
During the Sunday, October 5, episode of the TLC series, Janelle, 56, called Meri, 54, to discuss the selling of their Coyote Pass property, claiming Kody, 56, didn’t want to phone Meri himself.
“Why is he afraid to talk to me?” Meri asked over Zoom, calling it “chicken s***” that her former husband of more than 30 years couldn’t pick up the phone himself. (Meri and Kody announced their split in January 2023 after getting married in 1990.)
Kody later told the cameras, “Meri and Janelle, I completely upset them. Not on purpose, OK? Like I completely upset them because I didn’t know what to do.”
He confessed, “Meri, she’s kind of a nag, so I was like, ‘Oh, ignore her.’ Then she’s like, ‘Well, I’m going to do legal [proceedings then]’ and I’m like, ‘Well, well, well, OK, listen, we’re going to sell the property. You guys will all get your 25 percent. Why did everybody get so upset?’ Well, it’s because I wasn’t talking to them.”
Meri noted that Kody was being “so dumb” about the conversation, while Janelle claimed that he “always wants to act like he’s such a victim.” (Janelle confirmed her separation from Kody in December 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage.)
“And he has this shy, pretty wife now and she’s really shy and she’s really pretty,” Janelle quipped, referring to Kody’s remaining wife, Robyn Brown. She told Meri, “Sorry, I couldn’t help it.”
Janelle Brown backed up sister wife Meri Brown after she realized their shared ex-husband, Kody Brown, allegedly never listened to them about their passions or travel dreams. During the Sunday, December 1, episode of Sister Wives, Meri, 53, met up with Kody, 55, and Robyn Brown to discuss finally paying off Coyote Pass, their vacant […]
Janelle explained her remarks during a confessional, claiming, “Those are words [Kody’s] used. ‘She’s very shy and she’s really pretty.’ I’m like, ‘Well, good for you.’”
Janelle, who welcomed six children with Kody during their marriage, reflected on her past with the polygamist, saying, “I mean, I was a little shy when we got married, but I was definitely not submissive. So I don’t know. I guess he misjudged.”
Meri got a laugh from Janelle’s comments about Robyn, asking, “The only wife? Or the only pretty wife? Like, is he slamming all of us?”

“Yeah, I think so. And that none of us were shy,” Janelle replied. “So, I guess that’s his type. Submissive, shy and pretty whatever.”
Janelle laughed, “Sorry, side note, I just had to have an ex-wives club for just a moment.”
As Meri and Janelle continued their chat about their shared Flagstaff, Arizona, property, Meri noted it’s “not fair” that Kody was putting Janelle “in the middle.”
“I thought this needs to all be a conversation with all four of us,” Meri said, referring to Kody and Robyn, 46, also joining the discussion.
Janelle claimed, “I invited him to be part of this conversation and he’s like, ‘No, I just no, like, I don’t really like you.’ And I said, ‘Well, it’s fine. I don’t really like you either.’”
She insisted she doesn’t “care” what Kody says or thinks about her after their split. Meri, meanwhile, said their openness is a breath of fresh air after years of rocky relationships in the Brown family.
“I’m glad they’re both mature enough to be able to just call a spade a spade and just say, ‘No, I don’t like you,’” Meri told the cameras. “I mean this is great, we’re making progress here.”
Janelle also teased that selling Coyote Pass would be “a nice parting gift” for her and Meri, since Christine Brown signed over her stake in the land when she divorced Kody in November 2021.
“I mean, if we’re not going to get alimony, I guess this parting gift works,” Meri said with a laugh.
The Sister Wives stars initially planned to build a quartet of homes in Flagstaff, Arizona, on land informally called Coyote Pass. Kody Brown and his then-wives moved their polygamist family from Utah to Arizona in 2018. Kody wed Meri Brown in 1990, several years before he “spiritually married” Janelle Brown in 1993 and Christine Brown […]
Janelle, meanwhile, said in her confessional, “If I had been legally married to Kody, you sure as hell [know] I would [have taken] half of his assets. I would have.”
Kody was spiritually married to Meri, Janelle and Christine, 53, at the time of their respective splits, meaning they don’t have any legal way to claim assets from the family holdings.
Thank You!

Kody, who legally married Robyn in 2014 and adopted her three children from a prior marriage, did, however, put Meri and Janelle’s names on part of their shared Arizona land.
Multiple outlets reported in April that the family sold Coyote Pass for $1.5 million after purchasing the land in 2018.
N.C. State’s Terrell Anderson jumps into the end zone to score a touchdown during the first half of the Wolfpack’s game against Campbell on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C.

RALEIGH
Coming off two consecutive crushing losses, N.C. State responded in a big way Saturday, crushing in-state FCS foe Campbell, 56-10, in a virtual must-win game for the Wolfpack and head coach Dave Doeren, who has been the subject of heavy criticism the past few weeks.
Hollywood Smothers was the embodiment of tenacity and swagger in his personal rebound. In the Pack’s loss against Virginia Tech, Smothers finished with a season-low 67 yards. It was his lowest output since Nov. 9, 2024, when he recorded just 13 yards in N.C. State’s loss to Duke.
Saturday, the Charlotte native put up 123 yards and a score on just four carries — including a career-long 59-yard run — and added 30 yards and a TD on two receptions.

The Wolfpack (4-2) used Smothers’ individual bounce back, a versatile offensive attack and better defensive attack to smother the Camels (1-5) in the first meeting between the teams.
Smothers was already statistically one of the best tailbacks in the nation before Saturday’s game, but he continues to beef up his resume for national awards and a shot at the NFL. Smothers entered the weekend with 570 rushing yards this season, fourth in the nation and No. 2 among Power Four players, behind Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy.
After his performance against the Camels, Smothers has 693 total yards this year to move him into second place in the NCAA for net rushing yards.
Smothers dominated on the ground, but he was not the only contributor. Duke Scott and quarterbacks CJ Bailey and Will Wilson all gained positive rushing yardage. Nine different players nabbed a reception and four scored. Tight end Cody Hardy recorded his first touchdown with the Wolfpack after a 37-yard grab and short scamper into the end zone.

N.C. State recorded 482 yards of total offense and scored 49 points in the first half alone. The Wolfpack’s yardage was the most in an opening half by any FBS team this season. Its 49 points was tied for the third-most first-half points in the NCAA this season and the most by an N.C. State team since 2001 against Duke.
Most of the Wolfpack’s starters opened the second half, but they were gradually replaced to give younger or less experienced players some field time.
Quarterback Lex Thomas earned playing time in the third quarter. He is the younger brother of former N.C. State standouts Drake and Thayer Thomas. Lex Thomas, a redshirt sophomore, missed two years due to an injury and has played limited minutes for the Pack. He went 2 of 6 passing for 18 yards.
Will Wilson, who has primarily been used in short yardage situations, also got into the backfield for several snaps. The freshman finished 3 of 5 for 16 yards and one interception. He also ran for one touchdown.
After allowing Virginia Tech to rack up 406 yards of total offense, including 229 yards rushing, the defensive front shut down Campbell. It held the Camels to 188 total yards and 67 rushing yards, while adding two sacks, seven tackles for loss and four quarterback pressures.
Campbell quarterback Kamden Sixkiller finished 12 of 22 for 87 yards and one touchdown.
What we learned from the Wolfpack’s commanding win over the Camels:
New, young players step up on defense
N.C. State’s defense is battered, bruised and in bad shape, but it took a step forward.
The team announced in its game notes that three players in an already-thin secondary are out for the season. Linebacker Sean Brown and safety Brody Barnhardt were both out against Campbell due to injury, while cornerback Jackson Vick missed his third game.

“It’s sad as a coach when you see a kid go down,” Doeren said this week. “We love these kids, man. You don’t want to see anybody get injured. Football is a physical sport, and that is part of the game. The next guy in there has to do a great job.”
Ronnie Royal was one such player. The redshirt freshman came into the game with a defensive grade of 43 on Pro Football Focus, the team’s worst defensive grade. He also ranked last in his tackling grade (31.2). Royal’s performance looked more like an upperclassman, with the way he wrapped up Camel players. The young safety finished with eight tackles.
Linebacker Kenny Soares isn’t young but he is new to the program. The Northwestern transfer had his best game of the season for N.C. State, leading the team with nine tackles. He recorded 13 in the previous five games. Soares hasn’t been a bad player for N.C. State, but he hadn’t been dominant. The win over Campbell felt like a breakout game.
The Wolfpack still got positive contributions from its top players, including Sabastian Harsh and Cian Slone — he contributed a major fourth-down stop — but they didn’t need to carry that side of the football. That’s something to keep building on.
Big bombs for Bailey
CJ Bailey continues to fly under the radar when it comes to national attention, but he’s one of the best in the country and more than solidified himself in the Wolfpack record books.
Like Smothers, Bailey put together an elite performance Saturday after two weeks where he didn’t always look like himself. The sophomore finished with 337 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. He went 20 of 23 passing for an 87% completion rate. It was his third 300-yard passing game this season.
Bailey was more decisive and did not commit any turnovers in the team’s Week 6 game, an issue that popped up against Duke and Virginia Tech. He made smarter decisions and spread the ball around well, all while recording eight explosive passing plays of more than 15 yards.
Through the first 14 career starts, Philip Rivers recorded 3,822 yards, 30 passing touchdowns and 13 interceptions on a 63% completion percentage. Wolfpack great Russell Wilson had 2,602 yards, 25 touchdowns and one interception on 63% passing.
Bailey had 3,308 yards, 24 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 68% pass completion rate through that period.
With his performance against Campbell, the sophomore is up to 3,645 passing yards in his first 15 career starts and reached 4,073 yards in his career.
And he still has room to improve. The sophomore may not win the Heisman Trophy, but he’s among the best quarterbacks to play for the Pack. That has to count for something.
Uncharted waters for NC State special teams
The Wolfpack’s special teams unit has been consistent the last several years, but the issues for this year’s squad reared their ugly head again.
N.C. State pulled freshman receiver Teddy Hoffmann as its punt returner after he fumbled two punts before the half. The first mistake put Campbell on the Wolfpack 14-yard line. Miscommunication from the defense allowed the Camels to turn Hoffmann’s error into a touchdown. He bobbled a second punt later in the half, but linebacker Kelvon McBride jumped on the ball to prevent another possession change.
Hoffmann muffed a punt against Duke, as well, which required N.C. State to march down the field for a 99-yard touchdown. The rookie was replaced on Saturday by Terrell Anderson, a receiver who entered the game leading the team in receiving yards.
Anderson’s first return was a 78-yard touchdown run, but a holding penalty wiped his effort from the board.
The rest of the game was largely uneventful, but the Wolfpack needs to get its special teams in order. It can’t afford to have touchdowns called back or to give free possessions against tougher competition.

High School Playbook Show: Watch Week 7 recaps, highlights and game scores
STARTS NOW. THAT’S RIGHT. THERE THEY ARE. THAT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. WELCOME TO KCRA 3’S HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK SHOW. I’M DEL RODGERS. DURING THE NEXT TEN FRIDAYS, WE’LL BRING YOU EVERY ASPECT THAT MAKES UP THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE FROM THE BANDS, THE FANS, CHEERLEADERS, GAME OFFICIALS, EVEN THE PARENTS IN THE STANDS. TONIGHT, AS WEEK SEVEN OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON, WE START IN OAKDALE WHERE THE OAKDALE MUSTANGS, THEY PLAYED HOST TO THE UNDEFEATED SIX ZERO EAST UNION LANCERS. THEY’RE FROM MANTECA. TONIGHT’S BATTLE IS FOR A SHARE OF FIRST PLACE IN THE VALLEY OAK LEAGUE FOR UNDEFEATED EAST UNION. THEY FLEXED EARLY IN THE FIRST QUARTER. POUND IN THE ROCK ACROSS THE LINE AS NUMBER FOUR. BRAYDEN KAMARA GOES IN TO GET SIX POINTS FOR THE LANCERS. BUT IT’S HARD TO WIN IN OAKDALE. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE VALLEY WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING THEIR HOME TURF. RICHARD FLORES GETS LOST IN THE PACK AND THEN COMES BARRELING OUT 45 YARDS FOR A TOUCHDOWN. I SHOULD SAY HE WAS BROUGHT DOWN AT THE FOUR YARD LINE RIGHT AFTER THAT. WEST BUFORD WOULD CARRY THE PIGSKIN TO PAYDIRT. CHECK THIS OUT. WEST BUFORD, HE HAD SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS TONIGHT. OAKDALE HANDS EAST UNION THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON. FINAL SCORE 71 TO 55. THAT IS NOT A TYPO. AND ANOTHER HUGE BATTLE TONIGHT. LAST YEAR’S DIVISION THREE SECTION CHAMPIONS THE VIKINGS. THEY PLAYED FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE MONTICELLO EMPIRE LEAGUE AGAINST THE VACAVILLE BULLDOGS. KCRA 3 MICHELLE DAPPER HAS THE OUTCOME FROM VACAVILLE. THE VIKINGS VISIT THE VACAVILLE BULLDOGS, BOTH TEAMS COMING IN UNDEFEATED IN LEAGUE PLAY. THE OPENING DRIVE THE VIKINGS INTERCEPT BRENDAN JACKSON, JADEN DICKENS TAKES IT 25 YARDS THE OTHER WAY FOR THE PICK SIX. P-A-T IS NO GOOD. SIX NOTHING. BANDON TURNOVERS ARE PLENTY IN THE FIRST HALF. AARON OATES PICKED OFF THERE BY JAKE WILLIAMS AND VACAVILLE GIVES IT RIGHT BACK. JACKSON WITH THREE INTERCEPTIONS IN THIS ONE AS BRANDON BROWN COMES DOWN WITH IT. AND THIS ONE STAYS SIX. NOTHING AT THE BREAK. THE BULLDOGS HAD TWO OFFENSIVE POSSESSIONS IN THE SECOND HALF. AND THEY MAKE ONE COUNT HERE ON THE GROUND GAME. RAMONE CONNOR OWENS UNTOUCHED FOR THE 19 YARD SCORE. P.A.T. IS GOOD. IT’S SEVEN SIX BULLDOGS. THE VACAVILLE DEFENSE HOLDS STRONG TO STOP VANDENS SEVEN SIX TO IMPROVE TO THREE ZERO IN LEAGUE PLAY. I CANNOT BE MORE PROUD OF THE DEFENSIVE EFFORT THAT OUR KIDS, IF YOU REMEMBER, THE SCORE DOESN’T REFLECT. WE PUT US IN A TERRIBLE POSITION TIME AND TIME AGAIN. THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB UNTIL WE FIGURED SOMETHING OUT. I THINK WE ONLY HAD TWO POSSESSIONS IN THE SECOND HALF, MAYBE ONE ONE DRIVE IN THE THIRD. WE FIGURED SOME THINGS OUT AND THEN TRYING TO CLOSE IT OUT AT THE END THERE. A HECK OF A GAME. CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL. SO THE VACAVILLE BULLDOGS NOW HEAD INTO THEIR BYE WEEK WHILE VANDON GETS SAC HI IN VACAVILLE MICHELLE DAPPER FOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. GOOD STUFF. YOU LOOK COLD OUT THERE MICHELLE. AND ANOTHER HUGE GRIDIRON CONTEST TONIGHT. LAST YEAR’S DIVISION FIVE SECTION CHAMP, THE HOUSTON HUSKIES, TOOK ON THEIR RIVAL, THE ESCALON COUGARS. THIS TRANS VALLEY LEAGUE SHOWDOWN, TAKING PLACE AT THE HOME OF THE ESCALON COUGARS. IT WAS HOMECOMING NIGHT FOR ESCALON. THERE’S YOUR QUEEN. ESCALON LIKES TO KEEP THE BALL ON THE GROUND, AND THAT WAS THE CASE TONIGHT. QUARTERBACK LOGAN HUEBNER HANDLES THE BUSINESS HIMSELF WITH A QB ONE KEEPER FOR COUGARS TOUCHDOWN. BUT THE DEFENDING DIVISION FIVE CHAMPS, THE HOUSTON HUSKIES, CONTINUE TO PLAY LIKE A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. HUDSON BALDWIN TO TITUS BEERS, WHO MAKES A FANTASTIC 48 YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH, AND THE HOUSTON HUSKIES WIN AT ESCALON. FINAL SCORE 29 TO 6. NOW TO OUR KCRA 3’S HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK.

DAISY THROCKMORTON LAYS IT UP FOR ONE OF HER TOP RECEIVERS, AND AFTER MAKING A SPECTACULAR CATCH, SHE MOTORS THE BALL 45 YARDS FOR MCCLATCHY TOUCHDOWN, TYING THE GAME AT SIX. THE MCCLATCHY LIONS, THOUGH THEY’RE RANKED EIGHTH IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY PLAYED LIKE IT AGAINST KENNEDY. DAISY THROCKMORTON FIRES A BULLET TO LONDON LEE AND LONDON MAKES A FINGERTIP GRAB IN THE ENDZONE FOR ANOTHER MCCLATCHY LIONS TOUCHDOWN, AS THEY WOULD GO ON TO CAGE THE KENNEDY COUGARS.
