With only three episodes remaining of "The Walking Dead's" third season, it looks like Team Rick and the Woodbury militia are about to wage a bloody battle.
Despite their sitdown, the Governor has no intention of brokering peace with the prison gang. And he's about to lose an ally in Andrea, who -- after Milton reveals her lover's dastardly plans for the survivors -- might be finally ready to kill her lover.

According to the tagline for Sunday's "Prey" (co-written by outgoing showrunner Glen Mazzara), while the Governor is chasing down a dissenter who fled Woodbury, "a traitor tries to sabotage his upcoming plans."
Get a better idea of the action to come by watching the clip below and taking a closer look at these exclusive photos from the episode.

The prison on "The Walking Dead" provided a safe haven from zombies and bad guys for Rick's gang of survivors this season, but thanks to a breach and The Governor's special delivery of walkers last week, their sanctuary is not quite so ideal anymore.
Sure, Carol, Carl, Daryl, Rick and the rest of the gang knocked off some of the rotting bunch that had invaded their new home last week, but it seems the pests are still around for Sunday's new episode. AMC shared a few exclusive photos with us from the latest hour of action, titled "I Ain't a Judas," and it's clear there are still zombies to take down.

Maggie takes aim.
Maggie (Lauren Cohan), proving herself to be a survivor after being held captive by The Gov, bounces back from her ordeal to help keep everyone safe.

Fortunately, there's a (seemingly mostly unbusted) fence surrounding the compound keeping walkers away for the time being.
Whether this attack by The Governor snaps Rick back into shape in the new episode remains to be seen. But in a sneak peek, son Carl thinks what his poor dad really needs is to step down, and flat out tells him so, advising him to let Daryl and Hershel be the new leaders. (More Daryl? Yes, please!)
"Kill him!" "Kill them!" Boy howdy, those folks in Woodbury on "The Walking Dead" sure were bloodthirsty when The Governor offered up "terrorist" Daryl Dixon and "traitor" Merle Dixon for a fight to the death.
The mid-season finale left off with the two stunned siblings facing each other, and judging from four behind-the-scenes photos that AMC is sharing exclusively with The Clicker, it appears that when the show makes its highly anticipated return Sunday night, the fight to the death will commence.
Now, we know the folks in Woodbury want to see some blood, but let's hope they make it at least a somewhat fair fight and cut those ropes around Daryl's (Norman Reedus) wrists!

Another photo shows that Merle (Michael Rooker) perhaps sustains a minor injury to his umm ... shorter arm. During the fight? After? Against someone who isn't his little brother? Who knows? (What we do know is that Rooker believes the siblings are survivors and will find a way out of the mess together.)

As a "Walking Dead" trailer has already shown, at the very least, Daryl will survive the sticky predicament. One of the photos AMC shared with us reveals that he escapes the situation relatively unharmed. According to the trailer, the crossbow-wielding hero races back to the prison to warn Rick's gang of The Gov's (David Morrisey) impending attack, but we hope Daryl takes a minute to sing to his "lil' ass kicker" afterward.

It appears that at some point in the episode, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) head back to Woodbury. (Why, Maggie?! The gang just helped you and your beloved Glenn escape in the mid-season finale!) Check out this photo of the sheriff and the farmer's daughter. That makeshift barricade behind them -- and the truck -- look awfully familiar, don't they? (Check out the photo of Merle above.) Wonder what they're up to ...

Rocky (NeNe Leakes) is instructed to dress up as Matt Lauer for Halloween on "The New Normal."
By Anna Chan, TODAY
It's Halloween in Los Angeles on "The New Normal," and if you thought fashion-forward Bryan (Andrew Rannells) -- who's also decorating his house to be the best on the block -- wouldn't have some say about the costumes, think again.
In the upcoming episode, the daddy-to-be tries to convince everyone to do a group Halloween costume. One person who doesn't exactly get to say no? His assistant, Rocky (NeNe Leakes). In a first look clip that NBC is sharing with The Clicker, Rocky shows up in her costume and isn't exactly pleased with her boss's choice.
"Who am I again?!" Rocky demands.
"Matt Lauer from the TODAY show!" Bryan responds. "He handles hard hitting news and cooking segments with equal aplomb!"
Check out the hilarious clip:
How Rocky's costume fits into Bryan's theme of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," you'll have to wait and see. The episode will also feature guest star Nicole Richie as Bryan's BFF, and George Takei.
Kathryn Erbe as Det. Alexandra Eames on "Law & Order: CI."
By Anna Chan, TODAY
She's back on Wednesday! "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" star Kathryn Erbe is making her return to "L&O," this time on "Special Victims Unit." Erbe played Det. Alex Eames for 10 seasons of "CI," and next week she's reprising her role in the new episode of "SVU" entitled "Acceptable Loss."
Since "CI" ended, Eames has moved on from the Major Case Squad to become a lieutenant with the City/Federal Homeland Security Task Force. It is in her new role that she crosses paths with SVU. While the gang works (with Capt. Cragen as their boss again!) to bust a sex trafficking ring involving young women, they come across evidence tied to a terrorism case Eames is leading.
Just as SVU is about to crack the case, Eames -- worrying that the squad might compromise her case -- sweeps in and shuts down the investigation of Benson, Munch, Fin, Amaro and Rollins. Watch our exclusive sneak peek of Eames back in action briefing the SVU squad on the case:
But as fans of "SVU" know full well, Det. Benson isn't one to back down just because a superior says to.
"Law & Order: SVU" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC. Also, check out Weekend TODAY this Sunday for an appearance by Erbe!
Theresa Caputo is shocked by what she sees at the Padre Hotel.
By Anna Chan, TODAY
"Long Island Medium" star Theresa Caputo is used to meeting with grieving family members to reach out to their dearly departed for one final message. But when she was on the road one day, it was a spirit who requested contact with her.
In an exclusive sneak peek of Sunday's new episode that TLC shared with The Clicker, Theresa stays at the Padre Hotel in Bakersfield, Calif., where she has an experience that appears to surprise even her. The hotel's eerie reputation is no secret, with various ghost hunters documenting their creepy experiences there. (The Padre, built in 1928 has been the site of suicides and a tragic fire.)
While staying on the sixth floor, the spirit of a young girl seems to pester Theresa all night. The next morning, the medium shares the info she received from the girl with the hotel's receptionist, Jennifer.
"She says, 'People think we haunt ... but we don't, we just like it here,' " Theresa tells the young lady. (Umm ... "we"?!) "She says, 'We run around and sing in the hallways, singing and dancing in the hallways.' Is that correct?"
"I know about 'the children,' is what we call them. They really interact with the staff," Jennifer confirms to the cameras. "They do have a reputation for jingling doorknobs and kind of banging things around a little bit."
And it turns out the little girl's spirit has left some physical evidence of her presence, which the staff knows about and wants to show Theresa. The medium's response when she eyes the mark in the hotel? "Now that's ... now that's freaky! Oh my god!" she exclaims. "That is unbelievable!"
Watch our exclusive sneak peek to see what shocked Theresa so much:
"Long Island Medium" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
"It's claustrophobic," star Steven Yeun, who plays Glenn, told The Clicker of this season's setting, which was teased in the finale. "Last year, we were really happy with the fact that outside, the outdoors (at the farm) was really another character that helped us do these themes because we were miserable. We looked miserable, but in a good way. This season, we were thinking, 'Oh man, once we go on stages, we're gonna really have to act out certain things.' But man, they did a great job and (the prison is) just as terrible as outside."
Gene Page / AMC
"Walking Dead's" prison is bright and shiny ... if you have flashlights, as Rick (Andrew Lincoln) does in this exclusive photo AMC shared with The Clicker.
Indeed. In exclusive photos that AMC shared with us, Yeun's Glenn looks weary and not entirely enthused to have a roof over his head and bars all around.
But despite the less-than-perfect accommodations, he's at least got love Maggie (Lauren Cohan) by his side. Don't expect the usual relationship conflicts, though. "You kind of navigate what young love is like ... in a zombie apocalypse," said Yeun.
Their love may be young, but the actor also notes that it's a "deep, deep love where you know you've found someone who complements you and fits you perfectly." Combine that with the reality Maggie and Glenn face, Yeun said the young couple are "worrying about how to survive and what happens to the other person and how the other person handles it when something does happen. I think that is definitely going to be a crux of this season in terms of their relationship, seeing what a relationship looks like with all these afflictions."

T-Dog (Robert "IronE" Singleton) takes aim in an exclusive photo AMC shared with us from season three.
And as their relationship develops, expect to watch Glenn continue to grow as he has with each season. Yeun noted that viewers got a glimpse of Glenn's capabilities in season one, saw his realization that he can't always trust everyone else's judgement in season two, and now, the young man is taking things into his own hands.
"I think Glenn has a good gut. And the third season is him kind of putting that into action and realizing that he has people to protect, loved ones he has to live for. He can really trust his own decisions," Yeun said. "That doesn't come without consequences."

Season three of "The Walking Dead" kicks off on Oct. 14 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
Living in the wild can be an adventure. But in remote parts of Alaska? Surviving can be a challenge. A huge one. Discovery Channel's new show "Yukon Men" takes a look at how the people of Tanana, Alaska, an isolated town with a population of about 250, survive the region's extreme winters.
According to the network, it's not just that the people of Tanana must struggle to find food and warmth in the harsh climate. (Weather.com lists a record January low of -76F, with the average low for that month being -17F.) They also have to fight off a lot of wolves to survive. But that's not all that threatens the people.
An exclusive clip of the "Yukon Men" premiere Discovery is sharing with The Clicker shows just how dangerous living in Tanana can be. Stan, one of the series' subjects, has been in the wilds of Alaska for 40 years and knows what it takes to survive.
On a journey with his 21-year-old son Joey, Stan shows the young man how to walk across the deadly Tozitna River in the winter. During the frigid season, the river is mostly frozen solid, but its current in the middle of the channel is so fast that it doesn't always freeze. So one misplaced step and you could be swimming with the fishes.
"If you go through where that channel is ... you're gone. It's all over," Stan tells the cameras. Watch the clip and see how he makes the treacherous trip across the river:
Will Stan survive crossing the river? Check out the "Yukon Men" premiere at 10 p.m. on Aug. 24 on Discovery to find out.
How much would you pay for a piece of music history? Four of the country's top experts on collectibles got to ask themselves that question when one of Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain's smashed guitars went up for sale, and Discovery's new show "Final Offer" was there to capture the bidding.
Discovery shared an exclusive clip with TODAY.com in which seller Brian Scott of Columbus, Ohio, reveals that the guitar was broken on stage in November 1989. There are other characteristics, besides being smashed, that make the guitar special. "If you flip it over, there's a lot of hand-carved messages and symbols on the back that Kurt placed on there himself," Brian told the four prospective buyers. "Some of these are sort of obscene."
Watch as the buyers try to contain their glee at the possibility of purchasing such an item:
So how does the buying and selling work on "Final Offer"? The four buyers are in four different rooms. The seller chooses which buyer to haggle with first. If the seller chooses to leave a room to talk to another buyer, he can't go back to accept a previous offer. Yes, that means the seller could potentially lose out on the highest bid!
Yearning to get a taste of the magic of nature? Then turn on your television Sunday night for a stunning sight and a science lesson.
Discovery's "Frozen Planet" is taking viewers to the North Pole to dig into the impact of rising temperatures on humans, polar bears and other wildlife. But in addition to that, naturalist David Attenborough narrates as the program takes a look at the science behind the beautiful aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights.
Check out the seemingly unearthly lights in this exclusive sneak peek provided to TODAY.com:
"Frozen Planet" airs at 8 p.m. Sundays on Discovery, and is also available on DVD and Blu-ray.
It's no secret that jail's no picnic, but a new docuseries by Discovery wants to show you exactly what the experience can be like. And it isn't pretty.
"First Week In" follows folks for seven days as they experience their first time behind bars. Cameras reveal how the newbie inmates deal with their bleak surroundings and the sometimes threatening new community of fellow law-breakers.
An exclusive clip Discovery shared with us hints at the grim reality that Chris Snider faced. The 29-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., was in jail on charges for domestic assault and battery.
"I'm nervous because I don't know if they're going to assign me a cell with murderers, drug dealers ...," Snider admitted. "I'm nervous as hell." (Turns out he ended up bunking with a gentleman named Mr. Nails. Umm ... yikes?)
And as he entered the Tulsa County Jail, the heckling and whistles started up as his fellow inmates quickly gathered to check out the new guy.
"Fresh meat!" one man yelled.
"You look pretty!" another added.
Watch our exclusive video:
"First Week In" premieres Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. on Discovery.

Driving under the influence doesn't have to involve alcohol, but the legal consequences can be just as serious, as TLC's "DUI" reveals.
On Thursday's midseason finale, a 25-year-old man named Casey was stopped at a DUI checkpoint during the July 4 weekend in Tulsa, Okla., after police smelled marijuana, and the situation became more serious when a big discovery was made.
Trooper Shiloh Hall first pulls out a smallish baggy of Mary Jane. Then, with a triumphant "Yeees!" Hall reveals a plastic grocery bag full of weed. "Couple pounds. He's gonna be arrested for intent," Hall explained. (It was two pounds, to be exact.) But that wasn't all the trooper found in the vehicle. Hall then started counting out a stash of cash on the hood.
After being arrested, Casey decided to throw some attitude as well. "You're a pig! All y'all are pigs!" the construction worker told the trooper. Check it out:
His trouble didn't end there. In an exclusive clip TLC shared with msnbc.com, a seemingly calmer Casey realized just how much trouble he was in legally ... and financially.
"You have four felonies," a police officer told the 25-year-old. "Your total bond is $26,000."
"I'm worried about my future," a depressed Casey admitted. "I'm a felon now." See what else he had to say about his legal and personal troubles in this exclusive clip:
The midseason finale of "DUI" airs on Thursday at 9 p.m. on TLC.
