Juice Murderer Origin: Episode 7: The Reason

The seventh episode of the Origin Series takes a break from the narrative of the Juice Murderer and Randerson and instead focuses on the events of Juice Murderer 2 and the motivations of Neil Downs in the Juice Murderer case.

Plot
The episode opens with an abridged version of the closing scene from the previous episode. Neil arrives at the scene of the alleged Juice Murderer's apprehension only to call off the arrest as he realizes that it wasn't the Juice Murderer who was sighted but actually the Crack who happened to be wearing an orange hoodie. Aggravated, Neil drags the Crack back to the police station.

The Crack, upset about the police violating him and sensing some degree of personal undertone in Neil's handling of things, questions Neil's motives, asking why he cares so much about this Juice Murderer case. Neil then begins to explain his motives.

Neil explains that in early December of 2012 the Juice Murderer attacked a party of teenagers, killing all of them. Neil then goes on to state that the involvement of news media and reporters like Biff and Griff added to the problems, ruining the reputation of the town and police department. It is also revealed that Neil's son was among the dead that night.

Realizing the sensitive nature of the case, the Crack agrees to help Neil catch the Juice Murderer.

The Juice Murderer Inconsistency
The events described in this episode refer to the night of Juice Murderer 2, however footage from both Juice Murderer 2  and The Juice Murderer are used. Prior to 2017 The Juice Murderer  and Juice Murderer 2 were regarded as being the same event with both movies making up the full massacre. As of 2017 the canon has been revised to show that The Juice Murderer is actually a 2015 film adaptation of that night's events.
