So Help Me Todd Season 2 Episode 8, “P.I.’s Wide Shut,” is channeling its inner Challengers with a tennis case that serves up mystery and twists.

When Susan is hired to defend a tennis coach accused of drugging a young athlete, Margaret offers her help in exposing the truth. We also see Gus tag along for a date on the courts.

The real show, however, happens back at the office when Tod and Lyle enter into an “epic” prank war with each other.
