So Help Me Todd Season 1 Episode 18 Gloom and Boom
When a stranger with a bomb appears at the law firm demanding Margaret reverse her efforts to free her client on death row or the bomb will detonate, Margaret and Todd must rely on their legal and detective skills to untangle the crime, uncover the intentions of the bomber and save everyone at the firm.
We’ve officially entered the run up to the season finale with the first of four straight episodes. If So Help Me Todd Season 1 Episode 18, “Gloom and Boom,” is anything to go by, it could be a wild ride.
We open on the day of a man’s scheduled execution, with Margaret sending Susan out on the frantic last-minute duties of trying to get a stay. This could make for an episode’s worth of real time tension as is. Then a woman pulls Margaret into her office and reveals she’s strapped with live explosives.
Over the course of sixty minutes—and just a few hours in the show’s time—the panic somehow compounds with each new development. The woman will blow the office up if Margaret’s client isn’t executed, but she’s really being controlled by a man who is the true killer in the case.
Tanya does an excellent job of keeping us on our toes. She’s convincing as the threat herself, but it’s because she’s playing a role with her daughter’s life on the line. It’s only by a hilariously lucky break that Todd inadvertently smashes the camera tracking her, giving our heroes an advantage.
Then, as the execution ticks nearer (Margaret having been ordered to reverse everything she’s done to stop it), the man himself comes into the picture, one hand on the bomb’s detonator and the other dragging Allison with him.
There’s never really a question about whether the bombing will be stopped. A detonation would kill everyone and leave us with no show. It’s a testament to the writing that we’re on the edge of our seats throughout, even knowing the day will be saved.
