Manic Street Preacher

Manic Street Preacher

S2 E6: Joanna (Kristin Kreuk) is being pulled in too many directions and trying to keep too many people happy. Sleepless, manic and suppressing her grief, a crumbling Joanna is failing to keep all the disparate parts of her life – Luna’s (Star Slade) case, and her work at Steadman Lavery – functioning. With the start of jury selection in Luna’s trial, Joanna returns to Millwood. When the potential jury members shows up, the crowd lacks the racial diversity they need to get Luna a fair trial. Joanna and Billy (Peter Mooney) uncover evidence of suspected jury tampering, but their pleas for help from the court are ignored. Desperately searching for a way to avoid trial, Billy and Joanna notice a discrepancy with Shane’s (Andrew Chown) statement to police and may have unearthed a potential suspect who could provide an alternate theory about the murder and exonerate Luna. With Joanna pressing to get Shane before the judge, Billy makes a discovery that breaks his heart and makes Shane’s testimony useless.
