What happened in episode 3?
Before diving into the upcoming episode tonight, we must discuss Alaska Daily Season 1 Episode 3.
The third hour saw Eileen and Roz traveling to Sylvie’s hometown, Meade, to investigate her murder further. There, they discovered how corrupt the police department truly is. Eileen and Roz met with the police chief, who was the cop in charge of Sylvie’s case after her body was found. But he was a real piece of work, to say the least.
The reporters found out that Sylvie’s murder wasn’t the only case the police department underinvestigated. Over 70 sexual assault cases involving women were dismissed, and Eileen and Roz used that information to threaten Chief Durkin. He admitted that he was prejudiced against indigenous women, and Eileen got his confession on tape.
Later, Eileen, Roz, and Stanley decided to go forward with a story about the police chief’s discriminatory beliefs. And Roz got Eileen to agree to be open and honest with her.
Back in Anchorage, Austin learned that The Daily Alaskan‘s owner Aaron Pritchard endorsed a corrupt politician. And Stanley appeared to start an investigation into his boss.
