NBC's Life, a story about a man who gets reinstated into the LAPD after being wrongfully imprisoned for 12 years, is trudging along in the airwaves.  The show will debut its fourth episode tonight, but thanks to the numerous spoiler sites on the web, fans of the show have the chance to catch a sneak peak into the future, particularly into the episode airing Wednesday, October 31.

Readers be warned, spoilers ahead.

The sixth episode of Life's debut season is called "Powerless."  According to an NBC press release, accessible through such sites as Spoiler TV and futoncritic.com, the episode will have Detective Danni Reese (Sarah Shahi) attending one of her AA meetings, during which she thinks she hears a fellow attendee confessing to rape.  Reese is unable to let go of the information, and decides to pursue the individual for a full confession, despite being advised by her partner, Detective Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) to drop the matter.  Sure enough, Reese's persistence leads her to a very dangerous man, and they find themselves in a life threatening standoff.

Meanwhile, when Crews goes on a stakeout with Lieutenant Karen Davies (Robin Weigert), he finds out that his former partner, Detective Bobby Stark (Brent Sexton) lied to him about his involvement in an infamous bank heist years earlier.

According to SpoilerFIX, Reese also meets a man named Rick Larson during the AA meeting, and apparently, there is an instant connection between the two.  However, Reese acts more cautiously towards him after she hears his revelations during the meeting.  It is unclear at this time whether Larson is the man who Reese pursues for a confession, or if the character is just a love interest.

SpoilerFIX also claims that the team speaks with a woman who runs a web cast in which hurls criticism at the LAPD.  The team also meets Nancy Morrison, a victim of assault who has been scared to step out of her own home because her attacker was never arrested.

There's no word yet on who will be appearing in the episode as guest stars.

Life airs Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
