4. Alan

In the wake of the trial, the Watsons need peace to grieve Diane. Instead, a series of articles are published that will tear their hearts asunder. And her parents will begin a bitter battle to set the record straight. But for her brother Alan, it’s not enough.

This episode contains references to suicide.
