NGTV Guide: Monday, October 19

With the baseball playoffs underway, we have some odd TV schedules for the next couple of weeks on FOX. Fortunately it looks like the other networks are sticking with new episodes to take advantage of the situation.

Gossip Girl – the CW 9/8c
“Enough About Eve” – Vanessa, hoping to finally win her mother Gabriela’s (guest star Gina Torres) approval, desperately vies with Blair for the honor of delivering the freshman toast at NYU, but at what price? Dan invites Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff) to meet Rufus and Lily, which leads to all sorts of problems for the new couple. Serena and Nate  team up to help Carter Baizen.

Castle – ABC 10/9c
“When the Bough Breaks” – Castle’s book agent, Paula Haas (guest star Debi Mazar), approaches him with a career changing opportunity, but taking it would mean the end of his relationship with Beckett. Will the murder of an unidentified woman found dead in a manhole be their last case together?
