A Quick Recap: Where We Left Off

The case was as confusing as it was hilarious—but it revealed deeper cracks in their communication. Classic Todd chaos, right?
What’s Coming in Episode 6: “Is the Jury Out?”
This week’s episode dives into the heart of the justice system: the jury process. But this isn’t your average courtroom procedural. With Todd’s unorthodox investigative methods and Margaret’s no-nonsense legal style, Episode 6 is about to be a ride full of laughter, drama, and a sprinkle of chaos.

Margaret takes on a case defending a local nonprofit against accusations from a former employee. Seems simple enough, right? Not quite.

And someone on the jury might be connected to the plaintiff
Sound intense? Oh, it is.
