Tank is bringing more money, more energy, and a whoooooole lot more mess to Season 4 of Hulu‘s Reasonable Doubt, and the R&B singer is telling BOSSIP all about his devilishly devious character’s more and more chaotic connection to Jax Stewart.

By episode 6, issues had gone from unhealthy to downright disastrous.
Viewers watched as a visibly impaired Jax aggressively questioned Eric’s ex-wife Brooke on the witness stand while under the affect of pain capsules.
She then turned her frustration toward Corey Cash (Morris Chestnut), insulting him and demanding that he depart despite his choice to uproot his life and probably jeopardize his engagement to help her.
But Jax’s downward spiral didn’t stop there.
The attorney later embarked on a drug-fueled birthday binge with Eric, full with lingering, lustful appears to be like and a sequence of choices that threatened to make an already disastrous state of affairs even worse.
And if Jax thought her birthday binge was unhealthy, issues are about to get even messier.
The next episode will see her family members staging a birthday intervention, with her husband Lewis, associates, assistant Krystal, and personal personal investigator Daniel coming together to confront her about her spiraling substance abuse.
Adding another layer of stress is the presence of Jax’s estranged mom, despite the attorney beforehand declaring that she needed nothing more to do with her after her mother accused her of having a drug downside just like her father.
With Jax’s personal life unraveling and her relationship with Eric raising even more crimson flags, the intervention may very well be the wake-up call she desperately wants.
And while viewers is likely to be side-eyeing Eric’s affect over Jax, Tank says there’s a lot more to his character than meets the attention.
