CBS's official press release for the March 2 episode titled "Shades of Gray" reveals that fans can look forward to the return of beloved characters. Actor Michael Rady reprises his role as Elliott, and Chris Lee is back as Randy, Bobby's cousin. For those who remember, Randy first appeared in episode 10 when Bobby was busy handling "family stuff." Bobby entrusted Randy to assist Colter during his absence, ensuring that Colter wouldn't be left hanging.
Colter recalls Randy from a previous case where he hacked into the police server, calling it "some of my best work," according to Randy. The conversation also includes a humorous exchange where Randy boasts about teaching Bobby how to jailbreak his phone, leaving Colter amused but skeptical.
