Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Presumed Innocent'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Set against the backdrop of a mysterious murder case, Apple TV+'s 'Presumed Innocent' expertly keeps viewers guessing about the perpetrator, maintaining high anticipation and suspense throughout the show.
The series follows Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal), a prosecutor and loyal family man whose life takes a dark turn when he becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his colleague and secret lover, Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve).
Rusty navigates the perilous judicial system, encountering obstacles from all sides as he tries to clear his name.
However, Raymond Horgon (Bill Camp), his mentor and senior, remains a steadfast source of support.
However, in the recent episode, the burden of the case has taken its toll on Raymond, casting doubt on his future in defending Rusty.
What happens to Raymond Horgon in 'Presumed Innocent'?
In the most recent episode, Raymond's extreme devotion to Rusty's case takes a toll on his health.
He collapses on the floor and despite efforts to revive him, remains unresponsive, casting a shadow over Rusty's legal defense.
Raymond's current health difficulties were unexpected, diverging from the source material and surprising fans with their unforeseen nature.
In the past, his declining health was accompanied by a recurring, unsettling dream in which his head exploded.
His nightmares might stem from the pressure of Rusty's case, where it seems the entire world is against him, yet he persists in supporting Rusty despite the odds.
Will Raymond Horgon be able to defend Rusty Sabich in 'Presumed Innocent'?
Raymond has stood by Rusty, taking on his case despite others's reservations, but now his competence to defend him is seriously questioned.
His health is rapidly deteriorating, evident from the intense nightmares and the dramatic cliffhanger where medics struggle to awaken him.
This condition implies that he may either die or become bedridden, leaving Rusty without a defense lawyer.
Raymond's declining health may force Rusty and Mya Winslow (Gabby Beans) to take matters into their own hands and may even prompt Rusty to do the unthinkable and defend himself.
Rusty may now be driven to actively seek evidence linking Carolyn's death to Bunny Davis.
That being said, with just two episodes remaining, it will be intriguing to see how the story unfolds. One thing is certain: Raymond's sudden collapse introduces uncertainty and raises concerns about the trial's outcome.
