NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: 'Parish' Episode 4 has been released on AMC, continuing the story of Gracián 'Gray' Parish (Giancarlo Esposito) and his entanglement in the criminal world.

With only two episodes left, it seems like the arrival of Anton (Bradley Whitford) has really shaken things up in 'Parish'. 

In Episode 3 of 'Parish', the tension between The Horse (Zackary Momoh) and Anton escalated, confirming their rivalry. In Episode 4, Anton took a drastic step by asking Gray to kill Horse.

This request not only underscores the intensity of their rivalry but also reveals Anton's ruthless nature and his willingness to go to extremes to achieve his goals.

There's a lot to uncover in 'Parish' Episode 4. So, let's jump in!

In Episode 4 of 'Parish', it is revealed that Gray used to work for Anton in the past but left that world behind after getting married and starting a family.

However, when Anton discovers that Gray saved Horse, he confronts Gray and demands that he kill Horse, threatening to harm Gray's family if he refuses.

In 'Parish' Episode 4, Gray attempts to kill Horse under Anton's pressure but fails. Simultaneously, Gray's wife and daughter find themselves in a perilous situation orchestrated by Anton's men.

Despite the chaos, Gray's family shows resilience and manages to save themselves. However, Horse is now aware that Anton wants Gray to kill him. 

In the upcoming episode, Anton might contemplate leveraging Gray's family to manipulate him, placing Gray in a situation where he feels compelled to comply with Anton's wishes, potentially including the act of killing Horse.

On the other hand, Horse might seek revenge against Gray after learning that Gray attempted to kill him under Anton's demand.

In Episode 5 of 'Parish', viewers can anticipate a dramatic showdown between Gray, Anton, and Horse. With tensions running high and betrayals exposed, the episode is poised to deliver intense confrontations and potentially game-changing decisions from these characters.

In recent episodes, the mystery surrounding Gray's son's death has become a central focus. In the upcoming episode, Gray may finally uncover the identity of the man responsible for his son's death.

This development could lead to a significant turning point in Gray's character arc, potentially driving him to seek justice or revenge.

Could The Horse or Anton be responsible for the death of Gray Parish's son?

In the last scene of 'Parish' Episode 4, Horse went to meet Anton, setting the stage for a potentially explosive confrontation in Episode 5.

If their rivalry intensifies to the point of open warfare, the consequences could be devastating for Horse, Anton and Gray.

It is also possible that the ongoing conflict between Horse and Anton in 'Parish' could lead to a revelation about the true culprit behind the death of Gray's son.

Considering the events unfolding in Parish, the circumstances surrounding Gray's son's death suggest that either Horse or Anton could be responsible.

The deep-seated animosity between Horse and Anton, as well as their willingness to resort to extreme measures, indicates that either of them could have killed Gray's son.

Who could be responsible for Gray's son's death? Only time will tell.

'Parish' Episode 4 is now streaming on AMC
