Did we need this episode? We preliminarily reflected that the show “ Reasonable Doubt, ” suffers from a lack of proper pacing, and Episode 5 is a testament to that. It goes into Jax’s history and explores how the relationship between her and Damon developed. Our point is, why concentrate on this aspect of her former life when there are much more pivotal story arcs to be addressed, like the relationship between her and her stepfather? We had formerly picked that she and Damon had fallen in love when she had represented him in captivity. Did we need to see it played out? These creative opinions by the generators will bring the series a binge-suitable quality. But let us see what happen with Jax and Damon all those times agone and save our judgment for an after day.
Spoilers Ahead
How Do Jax And Damon Fall In Love?
It’s 2007, and Jax is a public protector who's passionate about bringing justice to her clients. But luck isn't always on their side, and a lot of them end up taking plea bargains to play it safe rather than taking the threat of a verdict. It's at that time that she gets assigned to the case of Damon Cooke. He and his friend Rafael Coleman were involved in a bar fight that ended with the death of Kevin Chapman by pecking. Damon has been indicted of being the one to do it, and Jax must prove else. She believes that they have a fair fighting chance when it's revealed to her by Miguel Ortiz that the cutter belonged to Damon and that he'd preliminarily prevaricated to the police. Hearing this, Jax is relatively worried, and she tells Damon that his stylish chance is to take a plea bargain. He's not too happy with the idea but agrees in a fit of disappointment and wrathfulness. But his response prompts Jax to review the case formerly again and see if there's still a commodity she can do. She noticed that Damon and Rafael were analogous in appearance; hence, the substantiations might have confused one for the other. Damon is happy that she has retaken the case, and the magnet between them starts to grow further. There's no right time for love. In Jax’s life, outside of her job, she's trying to quit smoking, and her stylish friend Sally is getting wedded to Chris. At her bachelor, she tells Jax that she must open herself up if she ever truly wants to fall in love.
With Damon, she seems to be doing just that. He'd asked her whom she'd speak with when she wanted to open up, and she didn't have an answer at that time. Turns out, Damon might just be the guy, and she finds herself coming to like him. This raises the stakes for her in his case. She tells him that she understands what it feels like to not be heard and believed, and that's why she chose the legal profession so that she could let others have what she did not. We guess that she's talking about her stepfather. Rafael has taken a plea bargain with the DA. They had agreed to reduce his charges to assault if he witnessed Damon. nonetheless, Jax assures him that she'll win the case. The case does feel to be going well, but they're being judged by an each-white jury, and that's in no way a good prospect for a black man. But back to Jax and her mama, she comes to know that she's coordinating with Paul, and that sends her into a rage. Paul tells Jax that he's 10 times sober now, and he's regretful of the effects he did when drunk, but Jax isn't having it. She tells her mama that she's failing her again by forgiving Paul, but her mama counters that this is what one does when they're in love. We're rolling our eyes relatively hard at this, but we still need further information.
That day in court, Jax loses Damon’s case. It's a ruinous moment, one that causes her to quit the Public Defender’s office and move to commercial, where the stakes of a palm or loss aren't that high, giving her an easier heart. The cigarettes have also come back. Did we mention that Mike Ortiz makes a pass at her because their black- Latino association would be politically important? Of course, Jax laughs it down.
‘ Reasonable Doubt ’ Episode 5 Ending Explained – Who Does Jax Call?
When Jax is leaving her office after the loss in Damon’s case, she runs into Lewis. She's driving when distrait, and her auto bumps into Lewis ’ auto. He's an ever-gentleman who makes sure to check on her first. However, perhaps she'd have chosen to live with her heartache rather than try to get over it by marrying a man with hidden red flags which she'd have been suitable to spot if she had a clearer head at that time, If only she knew also that he'd creepily watch her through CCTVs installed in their home times latterly. Back in the present, she's allowing about her history when she notices that she has two missed calls — one from Damon and one from Lewis. She calls back one of them. However, we'd say that she's calling Damon because the prospect of rejuvenating a figment of their relationship excites her If we had to go by the events of the episode. Or she could be calling Lewis because she knows he'd give her the comfort she wants and needs. We authentically don’t know whom she called, but our bets are on Damon.

We anticipated knowing whom Jax had called. And hopefully some real progress in Brayden Miller’s case as well. What were those emails that Sarah Miller was talking about? But if the pens want the events of the present-day plot to take a backseat, can they please tell us further about Jax’s relationship with her parents? It’s time we knew.

Though disappointed, we don’t mind the adulatory quality it has taken, but that can still be sharper. Let us hope that's fixed in the coming episodes.
