Peterson's son Todd is called in for questioning, and he reveals that he and his father had a strained relationship. The episode also delves into the Petersons' finances, with it becoming clear that they were in a significant amount of debt. As Peterson tries to maintain his innocence, his legal team works to poke holes in the prosecution's case.

The tension continues to build as viewers are left wondering whether Peterson is telling the truth or if the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him.
