‘RJ Decker’ Season 2 Episode 6 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next chapter of ABC’s South Florida crime drama is close at hand. The sixth episode of ‘RJ Decker’ is titled “Blame It on the Rain” and is scheduled to air on Tuesday, October 20. It arrives late in a second season that runs only seven episodes.
Anyone planning to tune in for the latest ‘RJ Decker’ installment will want the basics settled first. That means the release date, the broadcast time, the streaming options and a look at the case waiting for the title character. Here is what the available listings and previews say.
‘RJ Decker’ Release Date for the Latest Episode
ABC lists “Blame It on the Rain” for Tuesday, October 20, in its usual national slot. An episode guide updated this week carries the same date. The date is consistent across the guides that list this part of the schedule.
The episode follows a run of weekly installments that are already on the calendar. “The Angler” aired on October 6, and “Better Luck Tomorrow” is set for October 13. That makes the sixth episode the next new hour after tonight’s.
The date also sits near the end of the season’s run. ABC picked up the show for a second season in May, just weeks after the first season wrapped its nine episode run. The finale, “Before You Accuse Me,” is listed for October 27.
Air Time and Weekly Schedule
Viewers hoping to watch as it airs should plan for a late evening start. The series airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and 9 p.m. Central. West Coast viewers can expect it at 10 p.m. Pacific as well.
The 10 p.m. slot has been part of the plan since the second season began. The premiere aired after a night of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ which gave the crime procedural a major lead in. That pairing helped set the tone for a show that mixes oddball mysteries with ongoing character drama.
Episodes do not stay live only for a night. Each one arrives on Hulu the next day. One outlet reports that new episodes drop on the service at 3 a.m. on Wednesday mornings.
Where to Watch ‘RJ Decker’ Live and On Demand
The only way to watch live is on ABC, whether through a television or an online feed. A traditional cable subscription is not required for that. Live channel services such as Fubo TV, Sling TV and Hulu Live all carry the network.
Viewers who miss the broadcast have a straightforward fallback. The new episode reaches Hulu the following morning, and the entire first season is available on the streamer. That makes it simple for newcomers to catch up before the finale.
Catching up should not take long. The first season ran nine episodes. That season ended on a major cliffhanger that complicated RJ’s relationship with Emi, played by Jaina Lee Ortiz.
Episode Preview for “Blame It on the Rain”
The official synopsis points to a weather mystery with a strange twist. R.J. faces long odds and stormy tides while investigating the violent death of a woman who appears to have died in a hurricane that never made landfall. The hook promises the kind of unusual case the series has built its identity on.
The story arrives with larger threads still in motion. The season opened with the fallout from Victor Ochoa’s death deepening and Emi trying to work out who killed her father. The cast has also gained Beau Bridges, who plays Reggie Decker, RJ’s estranged father.
The family storyline is not fading into the background. The episode just before this one has R.J. and his dad working to find who has been gaslighting a caretaker at a senior living community. Scott Speedman leads a cast that also includes Kevin Rankin, Adelaide Clemens, Bevin Bru and Jaina Lee Ortiz. With so few episodes left, will a hurricane that never touched land turn out to be a standalone puzzle or a clue that reconnects RJ to the Ochoa mystery, and which would you rather see in the comments?
