Summary
In this week’s episode, we explore Episode Five of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. Included are three segments: a critique of the episode, reaction from Babe Paley’s granddaughter, and a true-life literary connection about the origin story of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, which happened at the first party Truman Capote hosted, long before his 1966 Black and White Ball.

| 0:26.4 | I've heard from many of you about this particular episode. |
| 0:31.2 | I get it. |
| 0:32.3 | I'm not sure what happened here either. |
