This article contains major spoilers from Episode 7 of Hulu's "Paradise," titled "The Day.” Sterling K. Brown has been preparing “Paradise” co-star James Marsden for an Emmy nod for his performance on the Dan Fogelman-created drama since they began filming the penultimate episode of Season 1.

Paradise ‘s penultimate episode delivered levels of stress not often experienced from tuning into an hourlong drama, but despite the fast-paced nature of the pivotal flashback installment, viewers get to spend an extended amount of time with Cal Bradford ( James Marsden ), the president who kicks off the show’s murder mystery.

"Morality seems much clearer when you are not a decision-maker," Brown told IndieWire while breaking down the show's pivotal, penultimate episode.

The Paradise premiere started with the president (Marsden) being found dead in his home by Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins ( Sterling K. Brown ). An investigation quickly began as Xavier searched for answers and thought back on his relationship with Cal courtesy of flashbacks.
