Ep 4. Family Matters

Aspiring writer Marcus Goldman continues to investigate the events surrounding the murder of Nola Kellergan and the involvement of his mentor and friend, Harry Quebert. In episode 4, titled "Family Matters," Marcus delves deeper into the connections between the Kellergan family and Harry Quebert.

The episode begins with Marcus meeting with Tamara Quinn, a former classmate of Nola's who reveals some disturbing information about the Kellergan family. Tamara informs Marcus that she had a relationship with Nola's father, and that he had a history of inappropriate behavior towards women, including herself. Tamara speculates that Nola may have been killed because she was going to expose her father's behavior.

Meanwhile, Harry Quebert hires a well-known defense attorney, Luther Caleb, to represent him in the murder case. When Marcus confronts Harry about his decision, Harry reveals that he believes he may be innocent, but that he can't remember anything that happened on the night of Nola's murder due to a blackout caused by his medication.

As Marcus continues to investigate the Kellergan family, he discovers that Nola's mother, Alicia, had an affair with Harry Quebert many years ago. This revelation leads Marcus to believe that Harry may have had a motive for killing Nola, and that his relationship with the Kellergan family is more complicated than he initially thought.

Throughout the episode, Marcus also struggles with his own personal relationships. He reaches out to his ex-girlfriend, who he cheated on with Nola, in an attempt to rekindle their relationship. However, she is hesitant to forgive him and insists that they take things slow.

As the episode ends, Marcus receives a phone call from Harry's lawyer, Luther, who informs him that the prosecution is looking to make a deal with Harry. Marcus is left wondering what this means for Harry's involvement in Nola's murder and for his own investigation.

"Family Matters" is a tense and revealing episode that highlights the complex relationships between the characters and the secrets they are hiding. As Marcus continues to unravel the mystery of Nola's murder, the lines between truth and deception become increasingly blurred.
