Cupertino Season 1 Episode 4 photos preview “A.J. & Buddy,” airing tonight, Thursday, October 29, from 10:00–11:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The firm’s latest clients are the young founders of a prediction market site, but an arrest and a private-jet escape complicate their defense.
Amanda Warren guest stars as District Attorney Sally Clausen. Mike Colter and Rachel Keller lead the series as attorneys Michael Price and Olivia Siffre, with Ella Stiller as Christy Palladino.
What Is “A.J. & Buddy” About?
Michael and Olivia take on the defense of two young founders whose responses to legal trouble could hardly be more different. One has been arrested, while the other leaves on his private jet. Christy ends up traveling with the fleeing founder after the two spend a night out together.
The case puts Christy in the middle of the situation her colleagues are trying to resolve. CBS’s preview leaves the charges against the arrested founder and the consequences of the flight undisclosed.
Natalia and Nichole Spend Time at the Firm
Back at the office, Natalia and Nichole spend quality time together. Busy Philipps plays Natalia Boutella, while Renée Elise Goldsberry plays Nichole E. Ferebee. The ensemble also includes Nik Dodani as Vikram Malhotra.
“A.J. & Buddy” is written by Joey Hartstone and directed by Robert King.
