Compared to last week’s intense yet brilliant episode, tonight’s hour of So Help Me Todd was more akin to the majority of others this season- straightforward and simple, deep enough so that the audience gets invested, but with enough comedic elements to provide levity. While the episode was certainly more melodramatic than usual, it was still a solid hour of entertainment, perfect for escaping the tensions of a hectic week.
With a little help from Allison, Susan and Todd realized that the restaurant owner, Rufus, lied about having Parkinsons to cover up for the fact that he murdered Jax, who was really the one suffering from the disease. This was all discovered while Rufus was at Margaret’s cooking her dinner. Thankfully, Todd and Allison managed to get to Margaret, just as he had a knife to her throat.
