 “the episode that we have dubbed The Insurrection, because it is the pivoting point for the rest of the season.”
And here is where we’ll remind you of star/EP Simone Missick’s tease that “something dramatic happens at the courthouse and somebody might not make it.” 
 “It’s very messy — messy in many ways.” 
Bonus Scoop: Viewers this season will meet Sherri’s parents, who come from “a very non-modern world”
(played by Keone Young and Nancy Lenehan),
“We get to explore Sherri’s background and see where she came from, and we get to see maybe why she’s a bit type A and why she needs control over things, because of the out-of-control nature of her childhood and her upbringing.”
