‘So Help Me Todd’ Series Finale: Why The CBS Drama Ended On An (Awkward!) Cliffhanger & What Would Have Happened To Margaret And Her Son

Series Creator Scott Prendergast explains why the series ended on a cliffhanger and what he wanted to do in season 3.

For the small but dedicated fanbase of the drama that stars Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin, it wasn’t a surprise that the two-year-old crime dramedy was ending for good on May 16. What was a surprise was how it ended — with a maddening cliffhanger that involved the arrival of law firm partner Merritt Folding (or rather, his feet) and how Margaret [Harden] was going to be fingered for shenanigans that she did not commit. He was going to be the big bad for season three, and Margaret was going to get in a lot of trouble, get arrested, and she would have to go to trial for all these crimes that she didn’t commit.
