The legal comedy-drama series So Help Me Todd returns with its penultimate episode, “The Broker,” airing on CBS on Thursday, May 9, 2024. The episode explores a high-stakes situation at the law firm of Crest, Folding & Wright, as Margaret assigns a challenging workload to her employees, while her son Todd embarks on a secretive investigation with the FBI.
In this episode, Margaret, a meticulous attorney, makes all the employees work through the weekend on a fairness hearing for a class action settlement involving Gus. Margaret’s son, Todd, a former private investigator, finds himself entangled in a mysterious case with the FBI, where everyone at the firm is considered a suspect. This intriguing premise sets the stage for a blend of legal drama and investigative suspense.
The dynamic between Margaret and Todd is a central theme in the series. Margaret, known for her strict adherence to the law, often clashes with Todd, who has a more flexible interpretation of legal boundaries. Despite their differences, they find themselves working together, leading to a complex mother-son dynamic and a potential path towards mending their fragile relationship.
The episode also shines a light on the other characters in the show, including Allison, Todd’s sister, Lyle, a fastidious in-house investigator, and Susan, Todd’s ex-girlfriend, who is now a lawyer at Margaret’s firm.
The series, which was recently canceled after two seasons, has left fans campaigning for its renewal, but it seems unlikely to be picked up by another network or streamer.
So Help Me Todd: The Broker airs on CBS at 9:00 pm on Thursday, May 9, 2024.
