Summary

This week, in Whitewood, South Dakota, a crumbling relationship is certainly not helped by a five year affair, but everything looks like it will work out just fine. Until, one night, when one of the pair is left with a gaping chest wound, and the other is left with quite a tale to tell. Including a wild night, complete with hot tub violence. Was it self defense, or a cold blooded, premeditated murder??


Along the way, we find out that you don't want to kick a service animal out of your restaurant, that violence is in the eye of the beholder, and that you should always raise a glass to the person who is about to kill you!!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
