Geoff Stults (Little Fires Everywhere) is set for a key recurring role in ABC’s The Company You Keep, ...

<...>

Stults will play Simon Norris in a substantial arc that will play out over upcoming episodes. Simon is Birdie Nicoletti’s (Sarah Wayne Callies) ex and absentee father of Ollie. Handsome, charismatic and from a wealthy East Coast family, Simon once had the New York art scene in the palm of his hands. Now a recovering addict, Simon’s worked hard to put his life back together and become the kind of man who’s worthy of being in Birdie and Ollie’s life. When Birdie comes to him for help, Simon assists in a dangerous heist that could put his whole career at risk, but he’ll do whatever he can to prove to Birdie he’s really changed.

No matter how many things I see him in, I always think of Geoff Stults as that guy from 7th Heaven.

So yeah, it looks like the CIA and the Nicolettis will be working together; next three synopses:

Quote

SUNDAY, APRIL 2

<...> "The Real Thing" (106)

Birdie reaches out to an old flame to help the family steal a painting; meanwhile, Emma grapples with Charlie's admission and must deal with conflicts of interest at work at the CIA. (TV-14)

Quote

SUNDAY, APRIL 9

<...> "Company Man" (107)

Charlie becomes Emma's new CIA asset and is tasked with spying on Daphne while they attend the event together, causing Emma to feel jealous. Later, Leo reveals to Birdie the real reason Simon abandoned her and Ollie. (TV-PG, L)

Quote

SUNDAY, APRIL 16

<...> "The Art of the Steel" (108)

Daphne tries to use Charlie to help Patrick get out of jail. Elsewhere, Emma partners with Birdie when Leo gathers his old friends around to con a man who lost their pensions years ago. (TV-PG, L)

 

[Trini]

Apparently this first (only??) season only has 10 episodes; no wonder they're moving things along so fast!

[Trini]

Inside Line at TVLine:

Quote

Charlie isn’t the only one getting in on the undercover fun! “I mean, there’s an entire department of the CIA devoted to disguises…. Emma will have her chance,” Emma’s portrayer, Catherine Haena Kim, teases. “You’ll get to see her start working in the field more in the back half of the season.”

 

[Trini]

This seems like a lot of plot twists/reversals for one episode; I wonder which one will actually work out? (Probably not 'selling the bar'.) Episode 9 synopsis:

Quote

SUNDAY, APRIL 30 - 10:00-11:00 p.m. - THE COMPANY YOU KEEP:

"The Truth Shall Set You Free" (109)

Realizing they want the same thing, Emma and Daphne agree to work together to take down the Maguires. Later, the Nicolettis consider selling the bar when a great offer comes their way, and David announces he is done with politics. (TV-14, L)

 

[Trini]

Vague synopsis for the season finale:

Quote

SUNDAY, MAY 7

10:00-11:00 p.m. - THE COMPANY YOU KEEP: "The Truth Hurts" (110) (Season Finale)

Emma and Charlie partner with Daphne to produce a plan to take down the Maguires once and for all, but will the final showdown cause Charlie and Emma to stay on opposite sides or end up closer than ever?
