Remote patrol

Tonight's installment of "The Pretender" (8 p.m. on Channel 41) is even less realistic than usual. Jarod (Michael T. Weiss, above) manages to impersonate a federal agent and gain limitless access to a dangerous serial killer. Miss Parker (played by the aptly named Andrea Parker, right) is deliberately thrown off Jarod's trail during the pursuit - and if you haven't been hopelessly confused by episode's end, you'll learn why. Also tonight, E! gets into the Halloween spirit by telling 12 of the scariest celebrity stories ever told on a "Mysteries and Scandals" marathon beginning at 4 p.m.
