Your Honor Season 2 Episode 8Part Eighteen
Eugene escapes danger only to run headfirst into new jeopardy. Frustrated with Michael, Olivia sets her sights on an unlikely new mark. Big Mo’s triumphant opening night takes an unexpected dark turn.
Things are, finally, looking up for Michael. He has some closure around Robin’s death after the whole debacle with Walter Beckwith and Cunningham in Episode 7. He’s getting to spend some quality time with his grandson and is playing doting guardian of Fia, who needs the support at this point. As is becoming typical, though, it can’t last. Michael is still free on the good graces of a state that has needs of him, and Olivia makes this clear pretty early in “Part Eighteen”. She wants him to flip Fia so she’ll testify on the rest of the Baxter clan.
Your Honor Season 2 Episode 8 Recap
How does Lee try to lower Eugene’s sentence?
Speaking of which, Eugene is in a similar predicament. He’s in jail after his hospital stint and is looking at 30 years for a guilty plea and life without parole otherwise. His only option, really, is to provide information about higher-ranking members of Desire; testimony which is just as likely to reduce his sentence as it is to get him killed. When it’s that or spend the better part of your life on the inside, though, well… it’s a decision worth lingering over, at the very least.
Of course, Lee has a trump card of her own — she knows about Michael letting Carlo go free, and if she was to reveal that, it’d subsequently cast a shadow of doubt over every case Michael was ever involved in. It’d be a nightmare for the DA’s office. Yes, this is blackmail, but as she says herself, she doesn’t particularly want to be a lawyer anymore anyway. She feels personally connected to Eugene’s case. The threat of her leaking what she knows to the press gets her an offer of negligent homicide, which would carry a sentence of ten years. Eugene would be out in three for good behavior.
