She even charms the prosecutor into dismissing the trespassing charges, joking that it’s not like Ryan is going to go out and rob a bank. Todd asserts that Ryan is trying to change his life around, just like he did, and Margaret softens.
When Ryan shares that he is going to court for a trespassing charge, Todd immediately offers the services of his mother, which viewers know isn’t going to go over well.Īs expected, Margaret is none too happy with having to represent Todd’s friend, who she remembers as being a juvenile delinquent and refers to as a hoodlum. He is relieved to run into his childhood best friend, Ryan, who is also an outcast with an arrest warrant to boot. As the guests catch up over adulthood and stock profiles, Todd quickly realizes he is out of place amongst this group of married, successful professionals. In a classic Todd move, he didn’t read the details of the e-vite and showed up with beer to what turned out to be a baby shower for childhood friends. The episode begins with Todd and his ex-fiancé turned colleague, Susan, running into each other as they are arriving for a party.
The third episode of the pilot season was definitely the strongest so far, continuing to showcase a clever and creative writing team and dynamic chemistry shared by all of the leads, but especially between mother and son duo Margaret and Todd (Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin).
