Preview — So Help Me Todd Season 2 Episode 7: Margaret Represents A Man Declared Legally Dead

Alicia Gilstorf Previews, So Help Me Todd

Margaret teams up with Todd to help a man declared legally dead, just days after CBS declared So Help Me Todd canceled.

Indeed, So Help Me Todd Season 2 Episode 7, “Faux-Bituary,” is the first episode to air post-cancellation. While we are still mourning the sudden loss of this loveable series, nothing helps ease pain like the rhythmic banter and bickering between Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin.

The mother-son duo are joined by Love, Victor’s James Martinez as Leo Hart — presumably the man who is supposedly dead.

As we gear up for a goodbye, Margaret continues to wrestle with her dream of being a partner as she is forced to face the firm’s legal troubles alone.

And perhaps we’ll see Todd finally go on that date with his new lobby cafe cutie Judy.
