FOX’s new drama starring Kiefer Sutherland, TOUCH returns tonight with a new episode called ‘Safety in Numbers.’ On last week’s episode a robbery triggers a sequence of unpredictable events that connect a distraught flight attendant in New York, a son visiting from India on a mission to spread his father’s ashes, a middle school magician in Moscow, a cancer patient in New York and a mobster in the Bronx.
In the end, all the stories join together and form a circle of heartfelt happiness. I hope they continue to make future episodes as good as this one, don’t you? If you missed the show you can read our full recap here!
On tonight’s episode when Martin comes in contact with a homeless man who possesses the same obsession with numbers as Jake, he sets out on a series of seemingly unrelated tasks that connect an abused African woman, a group of African boys entering a dance competition and an outgoing woman at California’s Costabella Festival. Meanwhile, Teller (guest star Danny Glover) pays a visit to Jake’s board-and-care facility and emotions run high for Clea.
Meanwhile Kiefer’s commitment to Touch has forced movies bosses to push back the film adaptation of 24. The hit action drama starring Kiefer Sutherland came to an end in 2010 after eight seasons on air.
