Recap & Setup: Where Part 1 Left Off
At 7:56 · chapter starts 6:01
Ash brings listeners up to speed on Part 1: Blanche's long-term boyfriend Raymond Reed died suddenly, initially attributed to Guillain-Barré syndrome; her husband James Taylor had also passed under circumstances blamed on heart problems; and her father died under strange but uninvestigated circumstances. None of these deaths triggered suspicion at the time. Ash frames what's coming by reminding the audience that Blanche is now the oldest woman on death row, and that the episode will track how she finally got caught — comparing it, with glee, to the TV show The Pit.
