Tonight, Danny Glover comes to save the day
Your presidential campaign is picking up steam, but about to get derailed by an unplanned pregnancy. Who’re you gonna call? A character played by Danny Glover, apparently. The actor makes his debut in tonight’s episode, “Two Places,” as political consultant Isaac Marshall, whose first order of business is to get the candidate married off to his expectant fiancee on the double.
You have to plan a wedding in two days. Who’re you gonna call? Nora Walker, obviously, though it appears from the previews on the ABC site that the mother of the bride calls her own self in to argue against a businesslike union under fluorescent lights and for a romantic ceremony in her overworked backyard. Sparks fly between her and Marshall, and we shouldn’t be surprised if a romance develops — any man who puts an event like this in Nora’s hands, especially over the protest of one of her children, is going to have a place in that woman’s heart for sure.
What else can we expect from tonight? The press release promises (threatens?) that “the Walkers suffer a very tragic, private loss,” and “Sarah is forced to reevaluate her custody arrangement.” I suppose it’s unrealistic to hope that these two are linked, and that the tragic loss is Joe getting hit by a bus. More likely, I suspect, it involves the reason for that quickie wedding becoming less urgent. There’s a doctor and a nurse on the release’s guest-cast list, so something medical seems likely.
There are three previews in all on the ABC site, two focusing on Glover’s arrival and wedding planning, the third showing some scenes of Justin, Lena, and Rebecca out on the town, with Lena talking obliquely about her “boyfriend” and how all they do is … well, let’s just say that the yuckiness factor of this storyline is through the roof. Maybe the tragic loss could be Lena getting hit by a bus? ‘Cause I feel like we’re getting hit by a bus every time she’s involved in the plot.
