‘R.J. Decker’ Boss on What That Death Means for R.J. & Emi

It’s RJ (Scott Speedman) and his inner circle versus Victor Ochoa (David Zayas), and the corrupt businessman probably didn’t realize just who he was going up against. But by the end of the RJ Decker Season 1 finale, he’s no longer a concern … just not in the way that the others had thought. TV Insider spoke with showrunner Rob Doherty about that shocking end and what could come next, should the series be renewed. Warning: Spoilers for the RJ Decker Season 1 finale ahead!

To take down Emi’s (Jaina Lee Ortiz) corrupt father, Victor, RJ brought in his ex-wife Catherine (Adelaide Clemens), her wife Mel (Bevin Bru), and his former cellmate Wish (Kevin Rankin) to help. And working together, they did get to the bottom of why Victor had his son Lucas (Maximo Salas) try to steal the camera out of the former photographer’s car: There was a photo on it that proved that Victor’s man helped cover up a murder across the street from a scene RJ had worked for the newspaper. With the man responsible for that murder, Bruce (Stephen Bishop), willing to flip on Victor, Emi’s father does end up in a holding cell alongside RJ, whose new parole officer was assigned by Victor to claim there was a violation that should send him back to prison.
