Todd did receive somewhat of an upper hand at the end of the episode, when Lauren shared that although Susan broke up with Todd in college, it wasn’t because she didn’t love him and in fact, she was devastated for a long while afterwards. On top of that, she belittled Todd by telling him that she told Peter about the kiss, and he was unbothered as he isn’t threatened by Todd in the least. Susan was still in denial about her feelings for Todd, this time claiming that she got cold feet about getting married to Peter and needed to get it out of her system. Just as viewers were made to believe that Susan would finally capitalize on her feelings for Todd after realizing that life is fleeting, this episode had the couple taking a million steps in the opposite direction. While a slow burn does lead to a more satisfying relationship between characters, one semi-romantic scene in an episode (if that) isn’t going to cut it.

This led to a hilarious back and forth between Todd and Margaret as she asked him why on earth he would eat something called “corn slut,” and he had to correct her.Īlthough the show has finally taken steps towards pushing a potential Todd and Susan romance forward, the dynamic between them has failed to make an impact this season, largely due to the fact that they have very little screen time together. Not only that, but while Todd eagerly helped himself to the amateur chef’s concoctions, he ended up eating corn smut, aka mold, and ended up sick to his stomach. The suspect had a molecular gastronomy lab in the basement, and the nitrogen displaced the oxygen, causing Todd to faint.

Ignoring Lyle’s warnings not to break and enter, Todd walked into a storm cellar and passed out when he reached the bottom. On a sleuthing mission at a suspect's house, Lyle and Todd broke into their usual antics, bickering over Todd’s less than legal investigative tactics. Beverly sat in as Margaret and the team investigated online restaurant reviews and while Margaret buckled under the pressure, Lyle demonstrated his incredible online detective skills, wowing Beverly and annoying Todd. Meanwhile, Senior partner Beverly Crest was still interviewing candidates for the named partner opening, and Margaret was on pins and needles, doing whatever she could to impress her.
