Corruption Goes All the Way to the Top in "A Test of Wills" in 'D.I. Ray'
Will Rachita Ray ever have an easy week on D.I. Ray? If she does, it wasn't this week. Rav Mochani (Taha Rahim) didn't die after being shot by police at the end of last week's episode, but he is in a coma; Rachita is taking the blame for it since she volunteered to talk to him alone. To make matters worse, there has been an uptick in vandalism of South Asian businesses as the public expresses their frustration that Mochani has not been arrested. However, Rachita is now convinced that Rav is innocent, at least when it comes to Frank Chapman's murder.
Rachita might be alone in that belief. A ballistics report came back revealing that the gun Rav was holding when he was apprehended was the gun that killed not just Frank, but also Megan the Nurse, and Dave Chapman. The test was enough to convince Kerry to put out an arrest warrant for Rav as soon as he wakes up, but Rachita still isn't convinced. She is still focused on the first gun that shot Frank Chapman before he drove himself to the hospital. If they can find who used that weapon, they can figure out how the rest of the night unfolded. It's entirely possible that Rav picked up the gun when he escaped from Dave Chapman's custody, which means that one of the Chapmans was potentially behind Frank's assassination.
The main suspect for the audience now is Susize Chapman (Lauren Drummond), who we saw searching for the missing gun at Frank's house. She was also digging into Frank's dealings with Rav and, in the end, showed up to threaten or blackmail Birmingham mayoral candidate Amara Choudry (Dinita Gohil).
