Franklin and Bash: Season 2, Episode 9 “Waiting on a Friend” (B+)
This flashback-filled hour was full of familiar TV faces. David Costabile was on hand as Richard Taflinger, an eerily similar role to the one he has this season on “Suits,” Shiri Appleby from “Roswell” was his assistant Emily, who spent more time flirting with and then making out with Jared than anything else, and Judd Apatow favorite Carla Gallo of “Undeclared” fame got to play the very angry Tammy, who was set on getting Jared and Franklin in trouble for her getting arrested. Seeing how Jared and Franklin met each other and how they first encountered both Pindar and Carmen was a lot of fun, as were the interrogations that Taflinger attempted. He managed to match Pindar’s deflective techniques extremely well, shattering his attempt at stonewalling, while Carmen did an impressive job of resisting his condescending comments and turning the tables on him. I’m surprised that Emily actually came over to polygraph and then kiss Jared, though nothing on this series should really come as a surprise anymore. Bringing in the roller skater with the skimpy uniform was a good trick, though it was more amusing to see them try a stunt for the first time and get scared when they found themselves held in contempt. In the course of their defense, they did seem to score a win with Damien after he got himself booted from the case and then assured them that he wouldn’t have sabotaged their defense on purpose. Stanton definitely has their best interests in mind, and it seems like they’re winning over more and more enemies every day.
