Secret Life of the American Teenager, 8 p.m. ABC Family
“Secret Life” is one of two big premieres on ABC Family Monday night. Last time we saw the teens, Amy and Ricky were on their big date. Is he really ready to commit to Amy and John? Or will he cheat on her (like he seems to do with every girl he cares about)? His birth mom comes back into the picture, so we’ll also see how that affects his relationship with Amy.
Ashley talks to the new guidance counselor (“7th Heaven’s” Beverley Mitchell) about homeschooling (probably not a bad idea considering every girl at that high school seems to wind up preggers).
Make it or Break It, 9 p.m. ABC Family
“Make it or Break it” returns to ABC Family, and the Rock girls are having a tough time.
They should be super happy because they all made the U.S. World team (kind of a big deal), but they are dealing with some big issues. Emily was being hauled out in handcuffs after missing her court date for stealing prescription meds for her disabled brother. Kaylie passed out during the competition because she has an eating disorder.
Payson was thrilled to unexpectedly make the team, but suspended coach Sasha didn’t stay to see the results. And everyone is going to be really upset with Lauren when they find out that she sent the video of Payson kissing Sasha to Ellen Beals. (That was so messed up. How could she do that to the team -and her friend?)
And mean girl Kelly Parker is back, and she’s going to do her best to make the girls even more miserable.

Britney Spears, Femme Fatale, album release
Don’t call it a comeback, but Britney’s new album (most of which has leaked) is pretty awesome. It has some of her best stuff in years (“Till the World Ends” and “Gasoline” are pretty catchy). And it gives us hope for other former teen stars who let their crazy out.
Teen Mom 2, 10 p.m. MTV
Jenelle’s life is one huge mess. After using her mom’s credit cards (without her permission) to jet off to N.J. with her deadbeat boyfriend, she’s in really big trouble. And things are going to get worse – she’s about to get arrested for breaking and entering in the season finale of the show.
The teen mom also has been making headlines recently. According to TMZ, she assaulted another woman the week of March 20, and the incident was caught on video (if it’s real, it’s pretty bad). The girl needs some help.
On the flip side, Leah and Corey are getting married! We don’t usually get to see teen parents on the show in happy, functional relationships, but they seem to be figuring out a way to make it work.

Grey’s Anatomy: The Musical Event, 9 p.m. ABC
Did anyone else yell at Callie to put her seatbelt back on at the end of last week’s episode? Or get chills when the screen went white? This week, “Grey’s” is told through Callie’s point of view (after the accident) in a special “musical event.”
Cast members (some of whom are theater veterans) will be performing songs the show has featured through the years, including Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” and The Fray’s “How to Save a Life.” After some initial skepticism (did they really need to do a musical episode?), it looks like this episode could be pretty awesome.
