Cobie Smulders stars as a murder suspect in Accused season 2, episode 6 (Preview)

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the digital world of crime dramas, I can say with certainty that “Accused” season 2, episode 6 is shaping up to be a gripping tale. The theme of spousal abuse is all too familiar, yet it continues to resonate powerfully, especially in today’s era where more women are finding their voices.

“Why don’t women often speak out about abuse and assault? Typically, it’s because they fear disbelief or being judged themselves, as portrayed in Accused season 2, episode 6.

In the upcoming episode, Cobie Smulders will make a guest appearance as Val, a solitary mother standing trial for allegedly killing her spouse. The plot synopsis hints at a more complex storyline. Is she truly the one responsible for his death, or is this an act of retaliation? Could someone else have framed her instead?

In this upcoming installment, we delve into a narrative involving domestic violence between spouses. This topic was hinted at during our initial season, and now we’re presenting a fresh perspective on the issue—a storyline that remains relevant today as more women find their voices, yet little action is taken in response.

Val is suspected of murder in Accused season 2, episode 6

The advertisement unequivocally establishes that Val is being tried for a murder charge. During this promo, we’re given glimpses into events involving Val and her former spouse. He was violent and caused her to doubt her perception of reality, but rather than resorting to violence herself, she decided to leave the marriage.

Despite the divorce, she seems to still be dealing with her ex-husband. It appears he may have found another partner, but it’s not uncommon for men of this kind to feel uncomfortable when their past partners move on. We also know that cheaters often maintain their old habits, and it seems like the new wife is now experiencing his abusive behavior.

Beyond this, the second spouse appears unwilling to support the first one. Instead of standing up for her, she may take the stand. However, the question remains: will her testimony be used to conceal the disappearance and presumed death of her husband? Or will she find the courage to disclose something instead?

Or is all this in Val’s head and she was the abusive one? I hope the show doesn’t go this route because of how important the topic of abuse is. I already hate the episode with a teenage girl lying about her teacher because those 5% of women affect all of us. We need more on women speaking up and being believed, because yes, this sort of abuse happens.

Check out the promo and synopsis for Accused season 2, episode 6:

“A divorced mom is the primary suspect in her ex-husband’s death.”

Accused airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on FOX. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
