Cupertino sets up a surprising curveball in this exclusive clip from episode 4

So it’s surprising that, in this exclusive The A.V. Club clip from this week’s fourth episode title “A.J. and Buddy,” Olivia seems to be offering legal aid to “the other side,” so to speak. As seen in this video, she rushes in to help a new client who is being interrogated for his Polymarket/Kalshi-type of betting app called Wager Mode. The client, Buddy, defends himself to the district attorney by saying that it’s all just for a little bit of fun. When Olivia enters the room, it feels like someone has sent her to assist Buddy out of this situation. She’s so effusive that the DA questions Olivia’s motives, asking how much he’s paying her to “sell her soul.” 

Now, naturally, gambling apps have already caused a lot of issues, so it’s surprising that Price, Siffre, and Associates will take a company like Wager Mode on. Cupertino most likely will have a few tricks up its sleeve as to what about Buddy makes him fit to be defended by them. 

Co-created by The Good Wife and Evil‘s Robert and Michelle King, CBS’ impressive, timely anti-AI drama also stars Ella Stiller, Busy Philipps, Nik Dodani, Renee Elise Goldsberry, and Joe Morton. “A.J. and Buddy” airs October 29 at 10 p.m. ET.
