The second episode of Interior Chinatown begins to explore the rules of the world as we see the limitations put on both Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) and Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) who seem stuck in small supporting roles to a larger story. While Lana can offer insight and advice to Green (Lisa Gilroy) and Turner (Sullivan Jones), she is stuck firmly in the role of a sidekick. As for Willis, the pair ignore him completely and his access to parts of the city (here the police department) is blocked. However, after spending most of the episode unable to get into the department, Willis uses a stereotypical Asian role to gain entry, opening the door a bit wider to his access in the world.

After a couple of weeks with no murders within the town, “Family Concerns” offers two with the unrelated murders of two women found in the woods. The explanation of one turns out to be obvious enough with Karl (Rossif Sutherland) uncovering an affair and an unfortunate escalation of a disagreement between the victim and his lover’s daughter (Natalie Malaika) which left the woman dead. Despite the father’s (Ryan Allen) attempts to take the fall, after failing to pin the crime on the murderer of the earlier victim, the truth is far too easy for Karl to see once the facts emerge.

The Irrational - Anatomy of a Fall

“Anatomy of the Fall” allows for the conclusion of Phoebe’s (Molly Kunz) separate story and her return to the department. Before that, however, we’ll get a case of suicides on campus which Alec (Jesse L. Martin) is asked to look into. What he finds, with the help of Marisa (Maahra Hill), is the latest suicide was anything but as a young woman’s death was covered up by her sorority sisters attempting to avoid bad publicity. The episode is notable for the experiment playing on how peer pressure can force someone to go against what they know to be true, the case hitting home for Simon (Max Lloyd-Jones) given his brother’s death, and Alec’s interactions with the girl’s father (Blake Robbins) allowing them both a way to honor the young woman’s memory.

Yang) in a world that feels more like a police procedural than real life with Willis cast as nothing more than a background actor. Witnessing an abduction brings Willis to the attention of Detective Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) who reveals to Willis his older, and far more talented, brother who disappeared years ago was helping her department get to the truth of what is going in Chinatown. Lana offers Willis the same opportunity.
