Monday on TV: A&E airs the Antichrist; BYUtv broadcasts basketball

A&E adds a second touch of evil to its Monday-night lineup, with the Antichrist joining Norman Bates.

In the fourth season premiere of "Bates Motel" (10 p.m., A&E), Norma searches for Norman. Why she'd want to find him is the mystery.

And then it's the premiere of "Damien" (11 p.m., A&E), a sequel to the "Omen" movies. Bradley James stars as Damien Thorn, who has just turned 30 and doesn't seem to remember much about his childhood. In the premiere, however, he figures out that he's Satan's son — and people around him have a habit of dying horrible deaths.

It's sort of a unthrilling thriller, unfortunately.

(And if you want to do math, "The Omen" was released 40 years ago, so Damien would be considerably older than 30. Not that that really matters.)

• Also today, the BYU women's and men's basketball teams play in the West Coast Conference tournament — the former early, the latter late.

In the women's semifinals, the top-seeded Cougars face fourth-seeded Santa Clara (1 p.m., BYUtv). In the men's semifinals, third-seeded BYU takes on second-seeded Gonzaga (9:30 p.m., ESPN2).

• Also worth noting — Petra goes into labor on "Jane the Virgin" (8 p.m., CW/Ch. 30) — and just wait until you find out what she and Rafael decide to name their twin daughters.
