‘Franklin & Bash’ Recap: Bros! Let’s Pick A Jury!

CASE #1 – The Guy Who Wailed On Some Other Guys

The eppy (this is what I call episodes now) starts out and Franklin and Bash are out eating chicken and waffles and they’re like “What one food would you bring to a desert island? I’d bring chicken and waffles,” “I’d bring YOUR MOM” which is major LOLs but it turns out that they missed the partners’ meeting and got assigned some client who wailed on three dudes Strikeforce-style so now they have a tough case. Also they get assigned a law school student to shadow them and at first some chick walks out and she’s like BA-DOW but it turns out she’s Sexy Lawyer Who Was On The Jamie Foxx Show’s shadow and then they find out who their real shadow is and UGH it is a HIDEOUS NERD which you can tell because she has GLASSES and her HAIR TIED BACK. Disgusting, bros.

So the bros have this client and they’re like “We have to pick a jury that will help you win even though you straight wailed on those dudes” and everyone’s like “Cool we’ll help because all these big corporate cases we’re handling are stupid anyway” so they do that and also oh yeah the guy beat the other guys up in self-defense but not really because it was actually about some girl so that’s important and confusing. Basically he likes some chick that works at a store so he goes to buy things from her and the goons want to hurt her so he beat them with a wrench which is a VERY CHIVALROUS THING TO DO.

Then Franklin and Bash start selecting the jury and they’re all “GET THIS LOSER OUTTA HERE” and “GET THAT LOSER OUTTA HERE” and things are looking great but it turns out it was a trap by by New DA Guy and also New DA Guy is the one who got Bash fired from his old firm by ratting him out for boning the boss’s daughter so he is a TOTAL DICK FOR REAL and he wanted them to pick a jury based on self-defense but it turns out it wasn’t self-defense as I mentioned above so now the bros are TOTES HOSED and so they hold a meeting to come up with a new strategy. OH AND YOU KNOW they had the meeting in the middle of a party with sluts in the hot tub, son. CLASSIC FRANKLIN AND BASH.

Anyway their plan was to be all sneaky and trick the New Dick DA Guy into picking the people they wanted on the jury through shenanigans like having Bash flirt with the hot lady jurors and also pretty blatant elevator-related jury tampering but it’s cool because they were all like “What? Who? Us?” and the DA was all “Your Honor, come on,” but the judge was like “I am the guy who pissed on the couch in that one episode of Seinfeld and I’ll allow it.” The eppy ended right as the trial started because TNT knows drama but the New Dick DA Guy had totally fallen into the bros’ trap so I think it is safe to say that the bro who beat up a bunch of guys with a wrench to protect a girl who doesn’t know his name will go free which we can all agree is the happiest ending possible.
