A Pakistani-American college student finds himself thrown into the pit of NYC's judicial system after the brutal murder of a young woman on the Upper West Side.

Stone warns Naz to keep quiet. Box meets with the victim's stepfather and, later, prosecutor Helen Weiss.

As Naz learns the survival rules in Rikers, his parents are tempted by a counteroffer for their son's defence.

Naz is attacked in prison and takes another meeting with Freddy before meeting with Crowe, who strongly suggests he accepts a plea bargain. Stone attends Andrea's funeral.

Stone and Chandra make their combined defence official. Box reconstructs Naz's movements on the night of the murder, and Trevor Williams is questioned once again.

Prosecutor Helen Weiss prepares for the upcoming trial; Naz's alliance with Freddy continues to grow.
