Over on The CW, The Flash (500K/0.1) drew its second-smallest audience of the season (aka ever) while steady in the demo; TVLine readers gave the apparent conclusion of that Arrow storyline an average grade of “D-.”  Kung Fu (420K/0.1) hit an audience low with its sophomore finale (which TVLine readers gave an average grade of “A”), but was steady in the demo.

Fox’s MasterChef (2.4 mil/0.4) and So You Think You Can Dance (1.7 mil/0.3) each added a few eyeballs while steady in the demo.
