.So Help Me Todd fans are about to see a very different side to Lyle Burton. In episode 20, Lyle (Tristen J. Winger) will finally meet his match in a forensic accountant, Alex - and it's going to leave him very out of sorts.
"Lyle is about to meet a new love interest, but we decided everything is going to be a slow burn and I think it's so lovely, and such a good meet cute," star Tristen told HELLO! "It is also just so adorable to finally see Lyle not have an answer. We've seen Lyle all season long go head to head with Todd and always have an answer, and then he meets this person who is his match, and he is at a loss for words, he's lost his footing, he is stuttering all over the place because he is smitten."

"I went to the hair and makeup trailer, went straight to her and I was like, 'Are you Alex?' And immediately, the chemistry was great. We were joking around, bantering back and forth, and all of our scenes we shot in the same day so we just got to just build on that chemistry all day," he continued.
"Vinessa is such an excellent screen partner, and we had such a good time. We trusted each other, we bounced off of one, another immaculately. It was so fun. I can not wait for everyone to see episode 20. I can't wait."
