Accused Season 1 Episode 12 Morgan’s Story
A teacher going through a messy divorce gets arrested under suspicious circumstances.
This episode could have easily been titled “Falsely Accused.” For the first time since the premiere, the defendant had no knowledge of a crime and was legitimately framed.
These situations happen, and it’s a sad reality that people attempt judicial revenge.
In Accused Season 1 Episode 12, Morgan’s husband attempted to take away her freedom. She had been living a shell of a life before she left him, and his need for control manifested into this ugly display..
Meaghan Rath played Morgan so beautifully. You could see she was over him from the very first mention of her husband. We had no idea Jason would be a spoiled, temperamental child.
The episode played out as one big tantrum. However, it was far from just child’s play. The very nature of their relationship was rooted in toxicity. Their every engagement is wrought with tension, disregard, and annoyance.
Christopher Gorham played Jason as maliciously as he could. There were moments it seemed as if he would physically attack her and finally explain the tension in their relationship.
He wasn’t physically abusive, but abuse takes on many forms, and this episode showcases that truth.
Jason’s behavior and subsequent criminal activities were abhorrent. He held no regard for Morgan. She was property — a trophy on his shelf. His life comprised acquisitions and calculated risks, but he was used to achieving greatness.
Jason was not held accountable for his temperament, attack on Morgan, or treatment of her and Ari. He was unpleasant to watch, which made it satisfying that Morgan somehow found joy elsewhere.
