Ep 2. The Boxing Match

In episode 2 of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, titled The Boxing Match, we see the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Nola Kellergan deepening. Harry Quebert is still in jail, accused of killing the young girl, and his protege, Marcus, is combating continuously to prove his innocence.

As Marcus begins to probe further into the details of Harry's life, he meets with Luther Caleb, a retired boxing champion and one of Harry's old friends. Luther shares stories of Harry's past, including his relationship with Nola and how it might have led to her death.

Meanwhile, the investigation into Nola's murder takes a new turn when the police discover a hidden camera in Harry's cabin. This leads them to a disturbing revelation about Harry's supposed friendship with Nola, which puts him in an even worse light.

Marcus also delves into Harry's literary career, as he works to understand how Harry wrote his famous novel "The Origins of Evil" in just 33 days. As Marcus reads through Harry's notes and drafts, he starts to see that some of Harry's most controversial characters might be based on real people in his life.

As the episode progresses, we see Marcus struggling to come to terms with the revelations about his mentor and friend. He starts to realize that the Harry he knew might not have been the man he thought he was. This is made all the more difficult by the fact that Harry is still in jail, refusing to speak with anyone, including Marcus.

The Boxing Match is a tantalizing episode that leaves viewers with more questions than answers. As Marcus uncovers more and more about Harry's past, we see the web of deceit surrounding Nola's murder grow even thicker. And as we approach the halfway point of the season, it's clear that things are only going to get more complicated from here.
