Mid-season break for All Rise season 3

Season 3 of All Rise has taken a mid-season break and will not be airing a new episode this week. While the legal drama was canceled by CBS after two seasons, it was given a new lease of life on OWN this year.

The highly-anticipated third season premiered in June 2022. Viewers have been introduced to several new faces since then, and they have enjoyed plenty of twists and turns. While episode 10 may have ended with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, All Rise fans will have to wait a while for the next episode. No new episode will air on Tuesday, August 16. Instead, OWN will air several episodes of 20/20 on that day.

Sadly, OWN is yet to announce when All Rise will be returning with episode 11 and the rest of season 3. Season 3 will have a total of 20 episodes, which means that there are still 10 episodes to go. Viewers can expect a lot more courtroom drama before the end of the season.

Recap of episode 10

Episode 10 of All Rise season 3, titled Fire and Rain, was directed and written by Denitria Harris-Lawrence. It aired on Tuesday, August 9. The episode proved to be pivotal for Lola and the others in the House of Justice as the high-profile Brandon Page case took an unexpected turn.

Lola's ex Andrew Armstrong, who was defending Brandon, requested that all related evidence be thrown out after a mix-up with the search warrant, which left Mark scrambling for a solution while Lola confronted Andre in her chambers.

Meanwhile, Leo Sykes began an attack on the House of Justice by stabbing Ness and calling for Brandon's social media followers to storm the building, which started a riot. The primary aim was was to get Leo to Maddy, a key witness in the trial, but his plan was foiled by Emily.

Teddy and Ness were left badly injured during the raid. Luke too was left wounded, while Leo failed to reach his intended target.

In the episode's final scene, Lola and Andre shared a kiss in the heat of the moment, only for Robin to walk in at the worst possible moment, bringing yet another twist.
