The most interesting thing that happens is when she gets absolutely furious when she thinks Jay doesn’t understand the meaning of the phrase “stepping out,” as in, “stepping out on your wife,” which he totally does, it’s just that she’d asked her question in an extremely vague way.

In this section, we also hear a fair bit of Jay’s testimony on the stand at Adnan’s second trial (his first ended in a mistrial), including some extremely boring cross by Adnan’s layer, Cristina Gutierrez. After all, it was Jay who presented the entire theory of the case to the police, voluntarily, even leading them to Hae’s abandoned car. While she’d assumed Jay also did jail time, and seems surprised when Koenig tells her that he walked, this in and of itself isn’t much of an explanation. “For what reason? What was he going to gain from that?” It’s a fair question. “Why would you admit to doing something that drastic if you hadn’t done it?” she asks, very reasonably. Armstrong, as it turns out, found Jay a credible witness. As it begins, she’s speaking with Della Armstrong, one of the jurors on Adnan’s case. Koenig does track him down, which she reveals with a flourish about halfway through the episode.
What’s the deal with Jay? Unfortunately for us, the deal with Jay is that he refuses to be interviewed. What IS the deal with Jay? Who is this person? Why did he say his friend killed his ex girlfriend? Or, if he’s telling the truth, why did he get involved? He’s been so absent from the show, but so central to its story, that I started to imagine all sorts of things: was he dead? in jail? Had he turned his life around, and busy working as a doctor or lawyer? Or maybe he’s now a shadowy international assassin, recruited by an ancient order after showing so much promise in the case of Hae Min Lee? This episode–finally!–seems offer to clear some of this up. "These producers are comfortable in all respects with letting the territory draw the map, which bodes well for the show’s future.Since the very first episode of Serial, when we found out that the only real piece of evidence against Adnan Syed was a story told by his friend Jay, this has been the number one question on my mind. Now, as the long wait for season two begins, we can only console ourselves with this message from Dorfman. "The meat of the story took place almost 15 years ago and the spirit of the show is rooted in mid-century radio programs but the podcast itself is very much a product of the present day so it's a logo that has to straddle a lot of time and a lot of history without looking 'vintage.'" "The agony in handling little touches like that for Serial was always to refrain from going too far into the past-because time is such a sensitive component of the show's DNA and also of its success," says Dorfman. To that end, Dorfman focused on details like slightly mis-registering the black and red, harkening back to the printing technology that was common during the era of the original radio serials. "Our principal focus in establishing the show's identity became landing on a typographic statement that would suggest the brick-by-brick nature of the show and hint at what a mid-century radio serial might look like in the age of the internet." After experimenting with a variety of concepts, Dorfman focused his creative energies creating a graphic representation of the show's distinctive format and decided each letter should occupy its own block to suggest the weekly episodic reveal.
