r/NetflixDocumentaries

I’m still in the middle of the documentary, but I needed to stop watching just so I can rant.

The neonatal ward was experiencing a high rate of inexplicable infant deaths, and the hospital suspected Lucy enough that they moved her to the day shift, but at no point did they bother installing security cameras???

They couldn’t even be bothered assigning a nurse to shadow her. They just watched as babies started dying during the day, before finally removing her from the ward.

She got caught because the circumstantial evidence was so damning, but the hospital never should have allowed those circumstances to begin with. As soon as homicide was being floated as a possibility, cameras should have been put up to rule out foul play. So many babies could have been saved, but instead the hospital’s strategy was “let’s just let her keep killing babies until there can be no doubt she’s the one doing it.”

He didn’t kill anyone, but the woman in Maternal Instinct reminded me so much of my ex-husband.
He appeared in my life out of nowhere, completely by chance, just like she did. I met him at a bar, and he gave me his business card. On our very first meeting, he told me he was involved in oil drilling and copper mining and that he was an extremely wealthy businessman. He even handed me a credit card and told me I could spend whatever I wanted.
I had never asked him for money or cared about his wealth. At the time, I was just a regular 25-year-old girl. Of course, the credit card didn’t work.

I was in the process of pursuing a U.S. green card through my nursing career, but my ex showed me a fake green card and a fake U.S. passport. He convinced me to stop pursuing my own path to the U.S., promising that he could get me a green card himself. That lie ended up wasting a huge amount of my life.

The lies never stopped. He gave me designer gifts constantly and claimed he owned luxury homes in several countries, had a private plane, owned gold bars, and had multiple supercars, including Bentleys.
Whenever I tried to uncover the truth or questioned his stories, he would start explosive fights and even call the police.

Watching the documentary, I know some viewers probably thought, “How could people not know? How could she hide something as obvious as a pregnancy?”
But people like this are not ordinary liars. Their behavior is so far beyond what a normal person can imagine that they exhaust you, overwhelm you, keep you trapped, and eventually make you give up trying to figure out what is real. Somehow, they make it incredibly difficult to leave.
I eventually filed for divorce and got out. Before I did, he made terrifying threats. He told me he would have me watched and that, with his wealth and power, he could make sure I could never escape him.
Even until the very end, he never admitted that he had lied.
The designer goods were fake. The wealth didn’t exist. He had no real assets at all. In reality, he was basically living paycheck to paycheck.(He also showed me fake bank statements and fake checks.)

Watching Maternal Instinct brought back so many memories because the way that woman constructed and lived inside a completely fabricated reality was exactly how my ex-husband lived.

Who do you think would win this award? I'm not talking about someone who told a lot of lies like Taylor Parker, I'm talking about being real bad at it.

Here are my contenders (add any of your choice) :

1- Chris Watts

2- John Ramsey

3- Mackenzie Shirilla

4- Scott Peterson

5- Samuel Bateman (the false prophet)

I think the winner has to be Chris Watts, cause at least John Ramsey got away with it.

My empathetic self just feels so sorry for the women

I cant imagine living in such a sheltered universe. They literally had no education or outside world experience and brainwashed. I also felt for Christine as she was welcomed into their society and only wanted to help them.

Still makes me angry and sad that in our times this kind of events happen regularly, "religion " or not.

I know people are going to hate this, but I still want to posit this theory...

What if Kenzie had a seizure? That would cause the type of rigid body movement that would make her foot slam on the gas and not lift off.

The road was curved - what if Dom steered the car? The acceleration lasted 5 seconds. I think it's not unreasonable that Dom recognizes Kenzie is having some sort of medical emergency and grabs the wheel, but then realizes steering isn't going to do much and in a panic tries to do something with the stick. Five seconds is not much time to decide what to do when death is impending. He could have been trying to get it into park but just didn't have enough time.

She drove the route beforehand - what if she drove it all the time because she's a stoner and that was the route where she regularly got high? Since it was usually pretty empty, it would make a perfect stoner route.

She was wearing her seat belt - maybe she usually wore her seatbelt but took it off for videos. She probably didn't want to seem like a nerd on tiktok. It doesn't mean that in her real life she didn't regularly wear a seatbelt.

It just feels like this spoiled girl would not have the guts to face death in the face like that. It is a miracle she lived. She wasn't suicidal, and anyone in their right mind would know that a crash like that would likely result in their own death. Even if she had been playing with the idea of doing something drastic, I really think she would have hit the brakes at least at the very end if she had been in control of her foot (there are so many accounts of people who attempted suicide regretting it at the very last second).

Also the scream when she found out Dom died and all the crying throughout the doc didn't seem like acting to me. It seemed like she loved Dom in the way that you love at that age - intensely and with your whole heart. She didn't want to part with the bracelets Dom gave her. She's either one of the best actresses on earth or it was genuine pain.

The trial was frustrating because the amount of time they spent being old people that don't understand social media or certain aspects of the culture (like when they thought the Halloween costumes were corpses) was just dumb. Like they had other good points, but they put way too much focus on "revealing" things that didn't actually reveal anything (apparent to anyone under 30).

It did seem like she was an immature, volatile, mess, but that isn't a crime.

The most compelling bit of evidence that the prosecution presented (IMO) was that a witness stated he heard her threaten to crash a car she was driving before. But the statement of one witness long after all the media publicity doesn't exactly seem iron-clad either.

Edit to add:

Why can't people seem to make up their mind between "fit of rage" and "premeditated, in cold blood"?

Even more ETA:

One of these comments convinced me (the pig-latin thing). All the rest of y'all had just terrible arguments and mostly seemed like you were having a tantrum. Actually mostly reminded me of Kenzie herself.

I am NOT looking for anthropological documentaries that talk about-

1. what different species were there in the past and how evolution happened through them

2. biological aspect of evolution

3. technical biological and anthropological terms

4. different ages and stages of humans

i want anthropological documentaries that talk about -

1. what humans were back in the day, how they used to live

2. how religions developed

3. how technology happened

4. the way humans collectivized and formed narratives

5. how power structures developed and work now

6. why was religion formed and what purpose did it serve

7. why were justice system developed

8. development of political systems

9. development of different economic philosophies

10. relevance and advancements of trade, monetary systems, money, debt systems, banks, stock markets etc

(out of all this, i am particularly interested in political systems, economics and justice systems)

Miles’s death is 100% on Oakland PD’s hands. There’s no way that after seeing what happened that a lot of them didn’t feel bad or that they had his blood on their hands. It’s sick how incompetent people will be and then act shocked at the results

Of this entire three part series and theme this was the hardest to watch. Because I grew up not that far away from Oakland up in the hills in a little city. And many of my friends over the years getting priced out of San Francisco or wanting to buy their first home, ended up not that far away from this area. My best friend lives in Maxwell Park. I lived and worked in Oakland proper for many years.

This is also emblematic of the fact that even though billions of dollars have come into the Bay Area, the crime rate is still really high and this hasn’t changed even with all the money, especially in Oakland. The schools are still abysmally underfunded and don’t even get me started on some of the district attorneys and mayors that have come through.

It’s going to sound strange to people, but as recently is 15 years ago nobody talked about living in Oakland. And before tech? Oakland was considered completely “ghetto” from start to finish. Now it’s the cool place because there’s so much money and reverse white flight.

And what broke my heart about this episode was that this was a multicultural multiracial community, which is what the whole spirit of the inner Bay Area truly is. These were not gentrifiers In fact, you could partially lay the blame at the feet of the gentrifiers who had bought the home that Jamal was squatting in simply to flip it.

By leaving it empty as a tax shelter till they sold that they were not only putting nothing back into the community, but they weren’t proactively keeping a squatter off of the property and out of the neighborhood. To Miles and his family and neighbors their area was something to be proud of but to the house flipper next door it was just money.

I’ve actually had to stop watching it when they went to fix up the house for him to help his family five days after what happened. It doesn’t matter if you live in rural California or urban California there’s always going to be somebody like Jamal Thomas. They come in every race and color and I refuse to use “mental illness” as some pat excuse for what they do. They have this malignant narcissistic entitlement that they’re owed something because of whatever they went through in life, even when they’re shown kindness, and given a chance they take it as a weakness.

People like that are below animals in my experience. They’re completely dangerous and can’t be cured only isolated away from society. It was so clear with this guy, and it was so preventable that I am still in shock.

Jamal knew exactly what he was doing. He was angry because he didn’t want to go find another place to live. He had no direction in life, and he saw someone around his own age who had their life together and wanted to simply destroy it. His goal and endgame was always what it was going to be. And there were multiple attempts to stop him. I want to warn everyone that’s a homeowner who loves their neighbors and anyone who has lived in the Bay Area, that this one is especially painful.

Update: I want to thank everybody who’s contributed to the discussion of this tragedy. The big question that everyone seems to ask is if the three children from Miles Armistead‘s first marriage received anything from the settlement. The answer is most likely no because they were not named as plaintiffs in the suit. It would be up to Melina if she shares that with them. I believe the only two plaintiffs named apart from herself (in initials) are her two children.

There is still an active GoFundMe created by a friend of Alexandra Armistead, Miles’s its first wife. The court document about the lawsuit is here:

https://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3%3A2021cv05257/381505?utm\\\_source=chatgpt.com&\\\_\\\_cf\\\_chl\\\_f\\\_tk=nwsoKHEbTsuUvmBsfmlY2tITH3DLDOGX2bAUTfB5iKI-1783120072-1.0.1.1-na.o6MhapeETKo8.w3CmBQcHHHlA0qChblNMPjz7ebQ

The documentary was filmed in a mountainous region and the crew has been there years before and revisited the people again, it was a very secluded region of possibly Nepal, they filmed and followed a burial under Buddhist law, talked about how the scriptures are being taught from generation to generation and visited the same people again and showed them the photos they’ve taken of them on their first visit and crossed an icy river of I’m correct and not mixing up documentaries.

The intro of the documentary was spoken by a a man with a calm tone of voice and there were „wind“ sounds in the background. The whole thing was on YouTube when I first watched it. I would love to watch it again :)

I realize this has been out awhile, but I just watched it last night. In the beginning, I thought after the kids became aware she was annoyed by them, they ramped up their behavior just to annoy her. Then as it progressed, I realized she would have been annoyed no matter what they did, seemed she had a vendetta against kids having fun. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, that lady was the true definition of a “Karen”. As soon as I saw her police interviews, I felt like she knew exactly what to say to claim self defense, right down to explaining how she had no way to get out of her house. Fortunately, she wasn’t a very good actress and the police could see right through her and were able to catch her in some lies. Interested to see what other people thought.

TL;DR: I’m not arguing that McKenzie is innocent or guilty. I’m trying to understand the steering wheel incident that occurred prior to the fatal crash, based on the text messages alone. To me, the messages seem more consistent with McKenzie’s claim that Dom interfered with the steering wheel, rather than with Dom’s families claim that McKenzie was the one driving recklessly. Dom never appears to accuse her of dangerous driving, apologises, tries to stop her going to police, and seems eager to forget the incident ever occurred and move on, rather than acting like someone who feared for his life. None of this proves what happened, but I don’t think this earlier incident supports the argument that McKenzie had a history of endangering Dom whilst driving recklessly. I’m also wondering whether this earlier incident was ever properly investigated.
——

I am interested to understand others interpretations of the messages between Dom and McKenzie following the prior steering wheel incident a few weeks before the crash. I am unsure if I have misunderstood anything, but I believe these messages are more supportive of McKenzie’s account (that Dom kept grabbing the steering wheel), then they are of Dom’s family’s account (that McKenzie was driving recklessly).

Before I explain my reasoning behind this, I would like to start by saying that I am not saying anyone is innocent or guilty in this case. I’m struggling to form any firm opinion on what happened because I don’t think any explanation can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. I’m simply trying to make sense of the information that is publicly available.

I think that McKenzie and Dom had an extremely toxic relationship, and that they were both a bit shitty to each other. McKenzie is clearly not a very likeable person and has made many mistakes. Dom likely wasn’t perfect either. I think they both did some shitty things, but no one deserved to die, and the whole situation is incredibly sad.

I’m also not saying that McKenzie is innocent. I just don’t personally feel that it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that she intentionally crashed the car.

The text messages:
Dom: you good?
McKenzie: I’m going to file a police report
Dom: if you do, I’m telling your mum your a prostitute because you are
McKenzie: ok that doesn’t really bother me, you have blackmailed me enough. Like I literally don’t give a single fuck
Dom: ok let me know when you file that report. I have a whole report about your situation with your feet.
McKenzie: all you are is mentally absuive, physically absuive, and a terrible boyfriend. You don’t do anything good for me. You literally treat me like shit and call me the worst names you can think of. The fact that my boyfriend of 4 years just tried to end my life by steering me off the highway, that’s how I know you’re not in love with me. You never were, somebody who loves me would never do this to me.
Dom: I really didn’t, but ok Kenzie.
McKenzie: somebody who loves me would just apologise because they care and want me to feel loved.
Dom: goodbye. I want my money too.
McKenzie: I should have known this relationship wasn’t real when I told you I love tripping with you and you just said I love tripping.
Dom: civil claims court you heard
McKenzie: ok then I’m going to the police station right now
Dom: okay, I’m telling your mom.
McKenzie: keep trying to blackmail me, you know I can blackmail you 30 times harder.
Dom: yeah, I’m a rapper, I make music.
McKenzie: somebody who loves me would never talk to me or treat me this way.
Dom: you’re the one who keeps taking it further than it is. You could have just left it alone and I’d go home.
McKenzie: the only reason it went this far is because you tried to end my life.
Dom: Kenzie, I didn’t.
McKenzie: you could have just apologised when you did something wrong but I forgot, you’re too immature.
Dom: why would I try to kill myself too?
McKenzie: probably because you’re mentally ill.
Dom: whatever Kenzie.
McKenzie: that’s what I thought. This relationship will never be the same after today. I don’t even know if I can be with you after this. I absolutely cannot believe you just tried to end my life.
Dom: ok then don’t be with me.
McKenzie: you need fucking help.
Dom: Kyle was right about you.
McKenzie: you blackmail the person you love. You try to kill the person you love.
Dom: no, you blackmailed me, you threatened the cops on me first for no reason. So yeah imma say imma tell your mum that. You blackmail me every week, it’s always the cops or something with you. Like Kyle was right for sure.
McKenzie: clearly you wanna be with me but treat me like shit, so end it. And Kyle fucks 16-year-old little girls. Be cool with him, that’s not a flex. Let me know when I can come get my things.
Dom: I’m sorry.
McKenzie: that’s not enough to fix it this time.
Dom: well I am sorry.
McKenzie emphasises her message.
Dom: I just wanted to say sorry, that’s it.
McKenzie: so you wanted to say sorry but you don’t want to fix any of the massive problems you created? Cool.
Dom: yeah. It’s not like anything’s broken. There’s no fixing it.
McKenzie: if that’s how you feel then we are done.
Dom: ok then.
McKenzie: if you can’t see what’s broken and what needs to be fixed then there’s no point in this being a relationship. Yesterday you almost ended my life, or could’ve ended my life, and all your mum cared about was you not going to jail. I’m literally never going to talk to your mum again.
Dom: I didn’t try to do anything.
McKenzie: one more reply that is not trying to fix this and I’m blocking you. Give one more shitty reply that doesn’t reply to anything and see what happens.
Dom: I’m just saying I didn’t try to kill us. I was definitely not trying to do that.

This continues with a lot more back and forth and Dom also says things like:

“I wasn’t trying to kms. I would have died first.”
&
“If I was trying to kill anyone in that situation, I would have died too.”
&
“I know what I did was wrong. I said I was sorry. You don’t want to see me or trust me or think I was trying to kill you then let’s just go our separate ways. Because I can’t be with someone who thinks I was trying to kill them anyway. It doesn’t have to be that bad that we are breaking up either.”

⸻
I’m genuinely curious how other people interpret these messages…

Personally, I find them much more consistent with McKenzie’s version of events than with the version later put forward by Dom’s family. My reasons are as follows:

1. Dom never denies grabbing the steering wheel or interfering with the driving.
The biggest thing that stands out to me is that Dom repeatedly denies trying to hurt or kill McKenzie, but I can’t find anywhere that he directly denies touching or grabbing the steering wheel. If someone falsely accused me of grabbing the steering wheel, my first response would probably be, “What are you talking about? I never touched the wheel.” Instead, his focus is consistently on denying intent to harm, rather than denying the alleged act itself.

2. Dom never accuses McKenzie of reckless driving.
Likewise, if Dom’s family’s version is accurate (that McKenzie was the one driving recklessly), I would expect at least one message where Dom says something like, “You were the one driving dangerously,” or asks her to apologise. Instead, I can’t find a single message where he accuses her of putting his life in danger or driving recklessly.

The conversation is almost entirely McKenzie accusing Dom, demanding an apology, threatening to report him to police, while Dom denies intending to harm anyone, tries to end the conversation, apologises, and attempts to stop her escalating the matter by threatening to expose personal information to her mum.

3. Dom apologises and later says, “I know what I did was wrong.”
Dom apologises several times throughout the conversation and later says, “I know what I did was wrong.”

Obviously that doesn’t tell us exactly what he is apologising for, but it does suggest that he believed he had done something wrong during the incident. Meanwhile, McKenzie never apologises, and Dom never accuses her of doing anything wrong during the driving incident.

None of this proves McKenzie’s account is correct, but it also doesn’t read to me like someone who believed they had been the victim of reckless driving.

4. Dom feared for his life, yet not only took no further police action, but actively avoided it
Another thing that stands out, is his reaction to McKenzie’s threats to escalate to the police. Them messages clearly suggest that he didn’t want her to escalate the matter to the police—he made an active effort to stop her from escalating, such as blackmailing her and threatening to tell her mum stuff if she did. Why was this necessary? because if he genuinely didn’t do anything wrong, then McKenzie wouldn’t have had anything to report in the first place, and he therefore shouldn’t have been worried about the possibility of it being escalated to the police.

In fact logically, if someone had genuinely just driven recklessly and put him in danger as his family claim, wouldn’t he actively want to report this to the police himself given that he would have been the victim? Not only does he make no effort to take the matter further legally, which I would reasonably expect most victims of deliberate reckless driving to do, especially victims who believe someone was literally trying to kill them (I’m pretty sure his mum said that McKenzie was threatening to swerve the car and kill him while they were on the phone to her), but he deliberately goes out of his way to avoid it, as if he is fearful of this being brought to the police, which leads me to believe he did do something wrong and that’s why he doesn’t want it it be taken to the police.

Again, this doesn’t prove anything, but I find it difficult to reconcile with the later claim that he believed McKenzie had deliberately put him in danger.

5. He seems eager to move on rather than treating it as a life-threatening event
In the messages, he seems to act like this was just a really minor event that had no significance. He says “you’re the one who keeps taking it further than it is. You could have just left it alone and I’d go home.” Which suggests that he thinks McKenzie is making too big of a deal of the situation and he wants to forget it even happened and move on.

According to his family’s account, he feared for his life, called his mum for help because McKenzie was threatening to crash the car, and he believed she was intentionally endangering him.

If that had happened to me, I don’t think I’d be trying to move on the next day. I’d be reporting it, ending the relationship immediately, and never getting back into a car with that person again.

Instead, Dom appears to want to continue the relationship, avoid police involvement, and move on as though the incident wasn’t worth revisiting.

6. His family’s actions afterwards also seem difficult to reconcile with their later account.
If my child phoned me saying their partner was threatening to crash the car that they were in, I wouldn’t just help them get home and then carry on as normal.

I’d be encouraging them to report it to police, making sure they never got into a vehicle with that person again, and doing everything I could to stop the relationship continuing.

From what I’ve seen, it appears Dom’s mum arranged for someone to collect him, but afterwards just forgot about the incident and went back to normal as if it never happened.

If I’m remembering correctly, there were even messages between McKenzie and Dom’s mum afterwards where they appeared to be communicating as they normally would.

That makes it difficult for me to understand why this incident only became such a major issue after the fatal crash. If it really was as serious as later described, I’d have expected immediate action at the time, especially given that reckless driving puts many people’s lives at risk, not just the people inside the car. If any of my children reported serious reckless driving incidents to myself, I would feel obligated to alert the police/child’s parents.

⸻
I’m interested to hear how other people interpret these messages because, based on the texts alone, I personally struggle to see how they support Dom’s families claim that McKenzie was the one driving recklessly.

To me, they appear more consistent with Dom accepting that he did something wrong while consistently denying that he intended to harm anyone.

Obviously, none of this proves what happened on the day of the fatal crash. However, understanding what actually happened during this earlier incident could provide important insight into the dynamics of their relationship and what may have happened during the fatal collision.

I’m not sure whether this earlier incident was relied upon as evidence to suggest McKenzie deliberately crashed the car. If it was, I find that really strange because it doesn’t appear to have been fully investigated and there is nothing to suggest McKenzie was recklessly driving that day, other than Dom’s mums word.

I don’t think there is enough information to confidently conclude what actually happened during that prior driving incident, but from the texts alone, I’m more inclined to believe McKenzie’s account. That said, I feel further information is needed and that this prior incident should have been investigated more thoroughly. The messages raise questions that I don’t think have ever been properly answered.

Does anyone know whether there was ever any investigation into this earlier incident? Was any CCTV or traffic camera footage obtained? Were any independent witnesses identified?

If anyone knows any of the following, I’m also interested to know:
- Why wasn’t Dom’s phone and message history fully examined?
-Was Davion’s phone ever seized and analysed?
-Were fingerprints or DNA recovered from the steering wheel or gear stick? If not, why not?

Again, I’m not saying McKenzie is innocent. I don’t know whether the fatal crash was deliberate, accidental, or whether something else happened entirely. I simply don’t think the available evidence proves one explanation beyond reasonable doubt, and I don’t think this earlier steering wheel incident, based on what I’ve seen, strongly supports the claim that McKenzie had a history of deliberately putting Dom’s life in danger while driving.

I’ve been listening to a particular podcast (Love Trapped) that has me riveted and I’m just praying that Netflix is in the works for a documentary….

What else would you like to see in the coming months in terms of documentaries? Any particular topics?
For me, I think there needs to be another really good documentary on Scientology
Also-
*Would love to see a documentary on those obsessed with corresponding with serial killers and why…Maybe there’s already a documentary like that.
* Really hoping there is another unsolved mysteries in the works.

I would love to watch The Crash because I've heard it is a really interesting case but I have a question about the content.

Are there any reenactment scenes, specifically of the crash or after (of screaming or in depth views)?

I have ptsd from a crash I was in a few years ago and although I have done extensive therapy and healed from it very well, I am cautious about triggering flashbacks.

If those scenes are in the documentary, can anyone recommend YouTube reviews that cover the case well?

Thanks!

Edit: I can't get back to all of you without being repetitive but thank you so much for your input and advice, I think I'm going to play it safe and go watch something else. I appreciate you all replying to me ❤️

Anyone else watching this? It definitely does not disappoint. It holds true to the Worst Ever collection. If you have seen Worst Roommate or Worst Ex, you HAVE to watch Worst Neighbor! My emotions are all over the place! I'm so mad at these horrible neighbors! I'm heartbroken for these victims. I'm on the 3rd episode in 1 day. I don't want to give any spoilers, I just want to know if anyone else gets this emotional?

Hey y’all! I absolutely love this sub and have come across a few things to add to my list from researching the posts and comments here, but I wanted to come on and ask for recommendations of some of the most jaw dropping what did I just watch true crime (doesn’t have to be murder, can be scandal or just law related) type of documentaries you guys may have! I have most streaming services so it can be outside of Netflix!

I’ve seen:
The crash, Material instinct, Dark side of influencing kidfluncer, Tiger King, Don’t pick up the phone, don’t f*** with cats, the investigation of Lucy Letby, The family next door, girl in the picture, Amy Bradley is missing, most of the Trainwreck series, and more but I’m looking for things along these lines. TIA!!

Can someone please explain why Caroline wasn’t charged with and convicted of drug trafficking, and why her assistant wasn’t charged either and isn’t even mentioned by her name?

Anybody have any recommendations similar to train wreck documentaries?

When you think the Maternal Instinct documentary can't get crazier - it does. As someone was watching the doc they realized one of the photos used was their 3 yr old daughter with her aunt... The aunt had posted it on her Instagram a while back. The photos are the exact same except the filter slapped on the one Netflix used. IMO both parties are in the wrong. Netflix needs to do better about copyright and privacy rights. Parents in general need to stop posting their kids online. Yes it sucks but damn.

So, I have watched Maternal Instinct twice now as when I began, I was in the middle of packing a suitcase to return home from a long trip and was only able to half pay attention. The second time was the next day mid-road trip and it filled some gaps I missed the first time.

As both of these were on my phone, I missed a lot of the cut-away written text scenes and am finally sat to watch it on my actual TV all the way through.

However, as I’m midway through, I’m still left with two thoughts/questions that seem unanswered:

1. Did Wade’s mother not confront Taylor/Wade on the repossession and how was she able to squirrel her way out of that without furnishing another vehicle (means of transportation!) for the mother.

2. After chewing out the real estate agents via fake aliases, was that the end of it? There was just no more conversation or discussion about Pecan Grove? Unless I missed it, it’s just never really spoken about again after the last letter from “Shelly Linx” is sent.

(Unrelated but I want to give flowers and a huge shout out to the Women’s Health medical facility that performed the hysterectomy. They had enough foresight to listen to the ultrasound concerns and while they couldn’t violate HIPPA laws, they did everything they could (hello Code Pink) to prevent what their instincts told them was a potentially dangerous situation, protecting patients and their babies. They could have never imagined the outcome but kudos for being prepared and doing everything in their power to prevent disaster!)
