The season 3 premiere of Hulu’s legal drama Reasonable Doubt delivered shocking twists, leaving viewers questioning the fate of former child star Ozzie Edwards and the future of defense attorney Jax Stewart. The two-episode premiere, titled Feelin’ It and A Million and One Questions, aired on September 18, 2025, and set the stage for a season filled with legal battles and personal turmoil.
Ozzie Edwards’ Arrest Explained
The premiere ended with Ozzie Edwards being arrested for second-degree murder in connection with the death of his girlfriend, Wendy. The arrest followed the discovery of Wendy’s body near a cabin in Wrightwood, with evidence pointing directly at Ozzie. A gun registered in his name was linked to the crime, and door cam footage captured a heated argument between Ozzie and Wendy on the night she disappeared. Physical marks on Ozzie’s chest also suggested a violent altercation had taken place.
Despite his emotional claims of innocence, the evidence against Ozzie was substantial enough for an arrest warrant. Jax Stewart, his defense attorney, managed to arrange a discreet arrest to avoid media attention, but the case is expected to become a high-profile trial.
Did Ozzie Kill Wendy?
The question of Ozzie’s guilt remains unanswered. While the evidence seems compelling, the premiere hinted at deeper complexities. Ozzie was shown contacting a mysterious figure named Alex in a state of panic, suggesting he may be hiding critical information. His inconsistent statements and the involvement of his controlling parents, who disapproved of his relationship with Wendy, add layers to the case. Wendy, a white stylist ten years older than Ozzie, was seen as a threat to his career by his family, leading to tensions that may have contributed to the tragedy.
Jax Stewart’s Personal Struggles
While defending Ozzie, Jax faced personal challenges that could impact her professional judgment. Her biological father, absent for years, unexpectedly reappeared at the end of the second episode, reopening old wounds. This surprise arrival adds emotional complexity to Jax’s life, as she already struggles with the aftermath of a lawsuit involving her husband, Lewis, and his former lover, Toni Holley.
Resolution of Toni Holley’s Lawsuit
The year-long lawsuit against Jax and Lewis by Toni Holley, who blamed them for the death of her premature child, was resolved in the premiere. Toni agreed to drop the case under one condition: Lewis had to spend a night with her to discuss their loss and find closure. Despite Jax’s initial resistance, Lewis agreed, and the night ended with Toni signing the settlement papers. The experience also allowed Lewis to process his grief over the death of his son, Jaeden.
What’s Next for Jax and Ozzie?
With Ozzie’s arrest, Jax will face an uphill battle to prove his innocence or negotiate a favorable outcome. The case threatens to expose secrets about Ozzie’s past and his family’s involvement in his career. Meanwhile, Jax must navigate office politics at her law firm, where a younger associate, Bill Sterling, appears to be undermining her authority with the support of other partners.
The season premiere sets the stage for a dramatic exploration of justice, family, and personal redemption. As Jax balances her client’s needs with her own unresolved issues, viewers can expect more twists in the episodes to come.
