Featured review
Chris Evans blows the audience away
Finding Jacob returns this week as we dig deeper into the mystery of who killed Ben, with the show adding more pawns to the story. The drama carries on with its slow pace though, revealing too little during each episode which hurts the pacing of the narrative. Episode 4 of Defending Jacob starts with the family returning to Joanna's office. Joanna first mentions the knife and explains that the prosecution will use this as revenge for being bullied, mentioning what Derek said. Jacob doesn't know why his friend blamed him and reveals that a lot of kids didn't like Ben. Joanna then finds out from Andrew that he threw Jacob's knife away as he thought it was a dangerous weapon.
Joanna then starts questioning Jacob about the day of the murder. He explains what happened when he found the body and that he didn't call 911 because he was worried he would get in trouble. After questioning him further, she tells him that it will be worse on the stand as his story has holes, which makes them decide not to put him on it. Their plan is to attack their case until there is nothing to attack. After Jacob leaves with his mum, Joanna tells Andrew that they need to give the jury another story and reveals that the knife found wasn't a match. After driving by her work party, Laurie decides to stop by a diner. There, she meets a woman called Janine who she quickly becomes friendly with and ends up confiding in. Unfortunately, she eventually finds out that she is a reporter while Jacob spends his evening watching TV with his dad. He talks about Derek liking Sarah and reveals she thinks that Derek may have done it after the police interrogated him. In his room, Jacob makes a new profile on social media and messages Sarah as he wants to listen to her songs. As Andrew relays to his wife that he is planning to do his own investigation, we cut back to the present in court. Neal reads an article about his father's judgement. He asks Andrew if he was scared that some part of him or his son might be like him while growing up. He tells him that he has always been sure that his son is not a murderer. Back in the past, Jacob has a CT scan. The doctor tells them that if he has the murder gene and is found guilty, they could file for mitigation and ask for a shorter sentence. She then takes a swab from Andrew and mentions that she tried to get one from his dad but he refused and wants his son to ask for it. This makes Andrew angry and he refuses at first. However, Laurie tells him to go for Jacob and the episode then ends with glimpses of Andrew's father in prison.
