The CBS series Elsbeth features a new investigation that puts its main character in legal jeopardy as the season nears its conclusion.
Tonight's episode, titled "I've Got a Little List," sees Elsbeth Tascioni, portrayed by Carrie Preston, investigate a seemingly random shooting.
Her work leads her to Rod, a playboy played by guest star Billy Magnussen. Rod is reportedly working through a list of dangerous thrills, and investigators suspect murder may be included.
Elsbeth's efforts to solve the case have serious consequences, resulting in legal difficulties for the attorney working with the NYPD.
Following tonight's broadcast, the show will present its season finale on May 8. The final episode of the season is titled "Ramen Holiday."
The season finale features the return of several guest stars from past episodes, including Stephen Moyer, Retta, Gina Gershon, Elizabeth Lail, Arian Moayed, and André De Shields from season one.
Alyssa Milano, Mary-Louise Parker, and Ethan Slater reprise their roles from earlier in the second season.
Elsbeth is a spinoff series executive produced by Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, and Jonathan Tolins. The show follows Carrie Preston as the unconventional attorney assisting the NYPD using her distinct perspective. The season brings new cases and challenges for Elsbeth, Captain Wagner (Wendell Pierce), and Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson) as past mistakes resurface.
The episode before tonight featured a dramatic resolution involving Judge Milton Crawford, played by Michael Emerson. Carrie Preston spoke about the episode’s lasting impact on her character.
