Ep 2. The Timeline

After a successful first season, “Trial & Error” returns for a second season with new cases, new characters and the same comedic tone that delighted audiences the first time around. In this week’s episode, “The Timeline,” viewers follow the legal antics of Josh Segal as he attempts to clear the name of his client, Lavinia Peck-Foster.

This season's storyline is set in the quaint town of East Peck, South Carolina. Home to a colorful cast of characters, the town couldn't be further from the big city that Josh Segal is used to. A small-time lawyer from New York City, Josh is in over his head trying to understand the bizarre quirks of the town’s legal system while navigating the even stranger personalities of his clients and fellow townspeople.

Lavinia Peck-Foster is the eccentric matriarch of the Peck family and an accomplished aristocrat of East Peck. She's charged with the murder of her husband, a rich and powerful figure in the town. Despite Lavinia's claims of innocence, Josh's initial investigation of the murder scene doesn’t bode well for her. With the clock ticking and all evidence pointing to her guilt, Josh must rely on his wit and analytical skills to build a convincing defense.

As the second episode opens, viewers are introduced to the concept of the East Peck timeline, an unusual way of dating important events in the town's history. After a sequence of events, it becomes clear that the timeline was purposely altered in order to paint Lavinia as the prime suspect for the murder of her husband. But who would have a motive to do such a thing? And what does it reveal about the key players in the case?

Josh, along with a hilarious team of legal misfits, dives deeper into the evidence to untangle the web of connections in East Peck. Along the way, they come across some shocking revelations that turn the case on its head. As the trial gets closer, Josh faces not only the daunting task of clearing Lavinia's name but also the pressure of knowing that his client's fate rests entirely in his hands.

“The Timeline” is a captivating episode that keeps viewers guessing until the very end. With clever writing, a talented ensemble cast, and laugh-out-loud humor, “Trial & Error” continues to be a delightful legal comedy that’s a must-watch for fans of the genre.
