Why is 'All Rise' Season 2 Episode 8 not airing? Here's when the CBS drama returns
It's been a difficult few days without Lola's presence in her professional sphere. While she herself might be able to pitch in and keep up with the most she can, Mark's fate hasn't been as kind and favorable, hitting one roadblock after the other. What's next you ask? Well, tonight is definitely not the time for answers as there's no new episode of 'All Rise' airing on CBS. An older episode is, at the show's usual time slot if you're dedication to the series needs your weekly cravings filled. But otherwise, fans are in for a disappointment.
The reason behind the random break has to be to film newer episodes as Covid-19 guidelines presumably didn't allow shows to finish filming their 22-episode seasons at once or in bulk. Sometimes shows take random weeks off from airing to fill out a few months' time slot with limited episodes, so they spaced things out a little giving fans time to brush up their memory about the show's older episodes as well.
But what's next on 'All Rise' you ask? In Episode 8, titled 'Bette Davis Eyes', "Mark is forced to prosecute his childhood icon, Samara Strong (Lesley Ann Warren), an '80s Hollywood star accused of murdering her husband 30 years ago. It's a showdown between him and celebrity lawyer Adam Pryce (Jere Burns), who makes a mockery of the courthouse. To make matters worse, Judge Laski (Paul McCrane) is presiding over cases in 802 while Lola is on maternity leave."
The previous Episode 7 of this sophomore season saw workplace tension rise. The official synopsis for the episode titled 'Always the Meteor' reveals "While Lola is on maternity leave after going into labor while on the bench, she attempts to participate remotely in Judge Brenner's special training about brain science and the law. Also, when Luke finds himself opposite Emily on an armed robbery case, he sees an ally in his experiment with restorative justice, and Mark hits another roadblock in his high profile case against a sheriff's deputy."
