LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Apple TV+'s ongoing courtroom drama, 'Presumed Innocent,' is generating buzz among fans, thanks to its star-studded cast and gripping storyline.

The television series is based on Scott Turow's novel of the same name, which was previously adapted for the silver screen starring Harrison Ford

The show revolves around Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal), a prosecutor accused of murdering his colleague and secret lover, Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve), as he fights to prove his innocence.

However, Rusty is shown keeping certain secrets, further deepening viewers' distrust of him. 

In the third episode titled 'Discovery,' Rusty investigates the truth behind a threat he received, while a witness claims to have seen him at Carolyn's home on the day of the murder.

In the third episode of the show, Rusty's trial preparations uncover the identity of his blackmailer: Carolyn's son, Michael Caldwell (Tate Birchmore).

Caldwell reveals that he provided Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard) with photographic evidence of Rusty's presence at Carolyn's house.

On the other side, Rusty's family is under intense scrutiny, with the media following them. Barbara Sabich (Ruth Negga) is asked to take time off from her job at the art gallery.

At the dinner table, Kyle Sabich (Kingston Rumi Southwick) wonders whether Rusty would accept the guilty plea offer, which hurts Rusty.

However, father and son quickly reconcile, but the episode concludes shockingly when Rusty reviews photographs and videos from the day of the murder and discovers his son Kyle was also there.

The startling discovery of Kyle's presence at Carolyn's house on the day of the murder is sure to intensify the situation.

This adds a whole new dimension of complexity to the situation. Did Kyle witness the murder? Was he involved somehow?

It is plausible that Rusty will do everything in his power to keep his son's name out of the case, which will inevitably lead to clashes with Tommy.

Tommy will certainly intensify his pressure for Rusty to plead guilty now that he has photographic proof, and he may also leverage Kyle's presence at Carolyn's house to further press Rusty.

This news will very certainly damage Rusty and Barbara's already weak relationship, which can make or break their relationship.

When will 'Presumed Innocent' Episode 4 release?

Sharr White and David E Kelley will pen the episode, titled 'The Burden'. The remaining episodes will be released every week until the conclusion on July 24, 2024.
