Summary
This week, in Starkville, Mississippi, a marriage that has a lot of bumps, along the way, including one of the children not actually belonging to the husband, explodes in violence, and terrible excuses. Even an appearence on the talk show "Montell Williams" couldn't solve their problems, but a murder ends everything. All signs point to the wife, but she blames it on her teen brother, and the prosecution blames them both, even claiming a strange, incestuous relationship between the siblings! Does the truth ever come out??
Along the way, we find out that no town should attach the word "Vegas" to their name, and expect us to believe it, that daytime talk shows may not be the best alternative to marriage counseling, and that you can only blame so much on others, before you start to look ridiculous!!
New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!
