This May promises to be chock full of explosive, edge-of-your-seat action as Prison Break, House, 24, Bones and The OC reach the point of no return and leave us hanging for the next four months.

May Highlights on Fox:
  • The escape gets under way on Prison Break. Will they all make it out alive? Don't count on it -- looks like five won't make it out of Fox River alive. Veronica will discover that Terrance Steadman is alive and well and living in Montana. The Company will dissolve their relationship with the Vice President. Make no mistake about it folks, the escape will happen, and season two will focus on the nationwide manhunt for the escapees. The season finale of Prison Break will air on May 15th.

  • As another day from hell comes to an end on 24, President Logan steps things up a notch by doing whatever is necessary to keep Jack Bauer from revealing the sordid details of his involvement in the events that have unfolded. Karen Hayes and Bill Buchanan covertly work together to aid Jack in exposing the Presidential misdeeds. Will the death toll continue to rise? That is a given, but hopefully we've seen the end of anymore major deaths involving characters we actually care about. The season finale of 24 airs on May 22nd.

  • On House this May, more unusual cases are dropped in House's lap, but things get personal when Foreman contracts an illness from a dying patient the team is treating. In the season finale, House is shot in his office by a former patient. Who says this guy isn't dedicated? House will continue working on another case from his ICU bed, all the while having the shooter sharing a room with him. However, when House begins doubting his ability to properly diagnose the patient, it's up to his team to solve the case. The season finale of House airs on May 23rd.

  • Things are heating up on Bones this May. What did Booth do before he joined the FBI? Apparently, he was a military sniper with a questionable past. In the season finale, an investigation hits close to home for Brennan when she identifies a 'Jane Doe's' bones as those of her mother, who has been missing along with her father for the past fifteen years. Booth opens up an investigation, only to discover her parents weren't who she thought they were. The season finale of Bones airs on May 17th.

  • It's Prom and graduation time on The OC. When Ryan reverts to his old ways, things at the Prom go from bad to worse. Seth's downward spiral continues, eventually leading to major legal repercussions. Kaitlin returns home and vows to be the next big thing at Harbor High. As graduation day approaches, the gang takes an emotional trip down memory lane -- however, the journey isn't without the usual complications we've come to expect from this juicy drama. The season finale of The OC airs on May 18th.
