With only one episode left, the penultimate episode of FX's exceptional American Crime Story saw the case against O.J. Simpson take a major hit. 

In the episode, titled "Manna from Heaven," racist cop Mark Fuhrman took the stand and helped Johnnie Cochran achieve what director Anthony Hemingway calls a "subtle victory."
