The network took second in the demo with a 1.4/4, but first in total viewers with 6.94 million.

ABC was in third with a 1.2/4. Wipeout and Motive both fell 8% to a 1.1 and 1.2, respectively. Rookie Blue was even with last week's premiere with a 1.2.

NBC's Hannibal, which has been picked up for a second season, was even with last week's low of 1.0. Earlier, Save Me was flat with last week's premiere at 8 p.m. with a 0.7, then fell a tenth to a 0.6 at 8:30 p.m. NBC took fourth with a 0.8/3.
