Jacob’s trial for the murder of Ben Rifkin begins and is surprisingly off to a good start. The trial takes an unexpected turn when testimony from Derek Yu (Jacob’s classmate) reveals a story authored by Jacob posted to the site The Cut Up Room. The story details the murder of the character Brent by the bullied and fed up Jason. This story is eerily similar to the details of Ben’s murder and sends waves of shock and doubt of Jacob’s innocence through the courtroom. The mystery man in the blue Lincoln is identified as ex-gang member James O’ Leary, aka Father O’ Leary, but his connection to the Barber family is still unknown. With a missing Matt McGrath, Jacob’s defense team decides to subpoena and call Patz as a hostile witness. Faced with the painful certainty or being back in court, a distraught Patz writes a tearful letter to Mr. and Mrs. Rifkin confessing to and apologizing for the murder of Ben.

Defending Jacob After Show Podcast

We get a Patz confession, but with a closer look, we see that it was coerced by Billy Barber’s old friend Father O’Leary. His name makes so much sense now! As far as everyone else knows the confession was real and Jacob is innocent. But once Andy finds out the truth not even a trip to Mexico with a new carefree Laurie in a bikini can lighten his mood. He eventually tells her what he knows when they find themselves being questioned my Mexican authorities in relation to Jacob and missing friend, Hope. Jacob is cleared with that investigation once Hope is found but things have been irreparably damaged. Shockingly, while trying to get “the truth’ from Jacob in the way to the barber, she declares she can’t take it anymore and crashes the car with both of them in it.
