Explicații TMDb: As the DA’s office attempts to solidify their case, shocking new details surface about Michael’s past that threaten to derail the defense.
Explicații Wikipedia: In 2002, Jean-Xavier and his team arrive in Durham to begin filming their documentary. Also arriving is Michael's first wife, Patricia Sue Peterson, from Germany. The DA office digs deeper into Michael's case and finds Dennis Rowe, who claims that he slept with Michael multiple times. Hardin, however, dismisses him when he finds out that Rowe also slept with several of his campaign donors. Michael confesses to Bill about his affairs, but claims that Kathleen knew all of it. The DA establishes the blow poke, a gift that Candace gave to each of her siblings, as the murder weapon after the State's Bureau of Investigation was able to replicate the crime using the one Candace gave to them, although they cannot find it anywhere in the Peterson's home. Margaret Blair, Martha and Margaret's maternal aunt, contacts the DA and tells them about her sister's death in Germany 20 years ago where she also died at the bottom of the staircase with Michael finding the body. Elizabeth's initial autopsy in Germany shows that it was caused by an aneurysm. The DA exhumes Elizabeth's body with the sisters' permission which they gave reluctantly, believing that it might help Michael's case. In 2003, Michael's trial finally begins.
