Seems like every time you turn on your TV these days, Portland is in the house. And if you miss the moment, not to worry: everything will live online or in re-runs until all is a sea of ash.

Here’s your watching guide for this week:
 
Tonight: Beast’s Naomi Pomeroy battles in Week 2 of Top Chef Masters. Last week, it appeared that Pomeroy was an early damsel in distress with a no-finish dish in the Quickfire Challenge (often the smell of doom for a contestant). But then she emerged as a player, a team leader, and a calm force leading her team victoriously through the Restaurant Wars and getting big kudos from judge and American food queen Ruth Reichl for her chocolate torte. Pomeroy got lots of glam-girl shots. The camera loves her. She’s not leaving any time soon. (Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Bravo)
