Scotty is back with another episode of Slasher Scotty and his guest is none other than Michael Ocampo, who played Gus on Days of our Lives. Michael discusses with Scotty how a whole lot of nonsense will be coming to Salem and surrounding his character, how he knew Jacob Martinez, who took over the role of Javi prior to them working together, his time on Law & Order: SVU, and much, much more.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the strange moments surrounding the Knicks Game 3 loss, starting with Mark Davis calling Josh Hart the wrong name and referring to Victor Wembanyama by his nickname. What begins as a debate over referee professionalism quickly turns into a larger conversation about whether the Knicks are getting a fair whistle. The guys also discuss whether New York needs to match San Antonio's physicality, why Shaq's comments about pushing around smaller players struck a nerve, and how Madison Square Garden's celebrity scene became part of the night's story. From Derek Jeter and Eli Manning courtside to a detour into Law and Order SVU, the hour captures the mix of frustration, humor and nervous energy around a suddenly tighter Finals series.

In this unaired edition of The Update Journal, we enter the emotional courtroom of television drama, bad decisions, and people who absolutely knew better.First up: “Not Everyone Deserves Your Sympathy — And Apparently, Not Everyone Gets to Stay on the Case.” Captain Olivia Benson and Sergeant Amanda Rollins get into it on the latest episode of Law & Order: SVU, proving once again that no one can turn workplace tension into a full-blown moral philosophy seminar quite like the Special Victims Unit. One minute, they're trying to solve a case. The next minute, Benson is giving a look that says, “I have survived 26 seasons of trauma, do not test me before lunch,” while Rollins is standing there like, “Okay, but what if the person is terrible and I'm right?”It's the kind of SVU argument where nobody is technically wrong, everyone is emotionally exhausted, and somewhere in the background, Fin is probably thinking, “I could've retired three murders ago.”Then we move into Brandon's hot take: Every cheating show has that one rapper.You know the one.Every single relationship scandal show has some guy who walks in with sunglasses indoors, three chains, a studio session booked at 9, and absolutely no intention of answering a question directly. His girlfriend is crying. The host is reading text messages off a tablet. The audience is gasping. And he's sitting there like, “First of all, that's not even how it happened.”Sir, there are screenshots.There is location data.There is a woman backstage named “Mimi from the video shoot.”And somehow, his defense is always: “I was networking.”Networking?! At 2:17 in the morning in a hotel lobby? With someone saved in your phone as “Do Not Answer”? That's not networking. That's a federal investigation with bass boosted.This episode is about sympathy, accountability, bad explanations, and the dangerous overlap between crime dramas and reality TV — because whether it's SVU or a cheating show, somebody is always being questioned under pressure, somebody is lying with confidence, and somebody definitely should have called a lawyer before speaking.

In this unaired edition of The Update with Brandon Julien from January 30, 2026, we remember January the only way it deserves: by letting it end without guilt, closure, or a dramatic goodbye montage. No final speech, no sentimental music, no “what did we learn?” moment. January came in loud, stayed too long, and now we are kindly escorting it to the exit.We start with Super Bowl 60, where the matchup may be historic, exciting, and full of storylines—but for Jets fans, it is once again an annual emotional hostage situation. This is the one Sunday where everyone else gets wings, commercials, halftime performances, and hope, while Jets fans find themselves rooting for the meteor because no matter who wins, somehow, some way, they still lose. We take a look at the game, the hype, the fan pain, and why being a Jets fan during Super Bowl season is basically watching your ex thrive on national television.Then we pivot to Law & Order: SVU, where a suspect makes the bold decision to run from the police at the Port Authority, apparently believing the bus terminal was a gateway to freedom, reinvention, and possibly a Greyhound ticket to Florida. Unfortunately, his escape plan hit a scheduling issue—specifically, a bus. We break down the chaos, the very New York energy of the whole thing, and how trying to flee justice through Port Authority is already a bad idea before you even factor in traffic, delays, and the fact that the building itself feels like it has seen too much.And finally, in The Last Word, we close the book on January with the reminder we all needed: the month does not get a performance review, an explanation, or a farewell tour. You do not need to justify how tired you are. You do not need to prove that you used the month correctly. You showed up, you survived, and that is enough. January is not your boss, it is not your landlord, and it is not entitled to a meeting on your calendar. As of this unaired January 30th episode, January is officially off the clock.

In yet another hysterical installment from this show, a young woman has the temerity to venture to the big city from her idyllic suburban life and immediately pays the price for that transgression. This being Law & Order: SVU, that price makes her a special victim. Here, a topsharking for hire--don't worry, we didn't know what that meant either--goes sideways real fast because Warren Leight's New York is teeming with monsters, and that's especially true at Wild Yaks shows. Don't worry, though, because Connecticutians do not get off scot-free here. The Big Apple may be scary, but the Constitution State is rotten to the core.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, Matt, and Elyse R - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

That Love Podcast presents: Stolen Kiss — Episode 5 An audio romantic drama series about the impossible space between loving someone completely and loving yourself enough to become who you were always meant to be. Logline: When Jack is offered the acting career he has dreamed of his entire life — three thousand miles away and for three years minimum — the only question that matters isn't whether he'll take it, but whether love is reason enough to let it go. Episode Summary: Over two pints with his weathered agent Neville, Jack learns he has been offered a life-changing role on Law & Order: SVU — a three-year contract, a $2 million salary, and a filming schedule that would keep him in New York for most of the year. What should be the greatest moment of his life arrives at the worst possible time, with Diane's number flashing on his phone and a dinner date still warm in his memory. The tension erupts at Stephanie and Antonio's wedding, where Diane confronts Jack in the emptying church with thirty-two hours of silence between them, and the conversation they've been avoiding finally tears them open. Jack leaves anyway — and at the airport, surrounded by the people who love him most, he hands Stephanie a letter he couldn't say out loud. Diane was there the whole time, watching from behind oversized sunglasses, and when she finally reads his words, there is no anger, no outburst — just a woman pressing a love letter to her chest and walking out into a world that suddenly has a little less of him in it. Starring Chakree Matayanant, Ciara Haas, Burr Kell, Emerson Peery, Sincerely_Lyzi Written, produced, and directed by Joao Nsita Follow @thatlovepodcast on Instagram and @thatlovepod on Twitter.

Dave is joined by Matt for Geektown Radio Episode 494, and this week's show is led by chat about horror film Undertone, relationship drama The Drama, Canadian crime series The Murder Line, and a return to Gilead in The Testaments.Matt kicks things off with three film reviews. First up is Undertone, an audio-led horror built around a creepy podcast mystery, which nails a lot of its atmosphere and sound design before losing its footing a bit in the final stretch. Then there is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which Matt found colourful but paper thin, before finishing strongly with The Drama, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, which he thought was one of the best films he has seen this year.On the TV side, Matt also checks in with Daredevil: Born Again, which now feels far more confident and focused than it did at the start, plus more blood-soaked superhero chaos from Invincible as the Viltrumite story keeps escalating.On Dave's side, he dives into the final season of Hacks, takes a look at ITVX crime drama The Murder Line starring Stephen Amell and Minnie Driver, and starts The Testaments, the follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale, which shifts the focus to a younger generation still living under Gilead's shadow.There is also a gaming detour into Starfield, which Dave has returned to following its major Free Lanes update, plus a quick mention of this week's Geekstorians episode on Doctor Who and the Wilderness Years.In the news section, they cover cancellations for Law & Order: Organized Crime and The Copenhagen Test, plus renewals for Young Sherlock, Law & Order: SVU, The 'Burbs, The Madison, Maigret and Father Brown.

This week the Munchie boys watched “Counselor, It's Chinatown” (S21E7) a wildly inappropriate Law and Order: SVU which has Josh and Adam careen from such wildly disparate topics as: Is noted scumbag Chris D'Elia is a cardigan guy? Which professions suffered most during the Chinese Cultural Revolution? And, does the NYPD have an undercover dog requisition service? We'll rub and tug our way to the bottom of these and many, many more questions. Sadly, due to climate change, there is a lot of Max on this one.Sources:Massage Parlors with 'Happy Endings' Give These Sex Workers a Decent Living by Hallie Lieberman - ViceExodus Road Denies Allegations of Sexual, Financial Misconduct by Heidi Beedle - Colorado Springs IndyMusic:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, and Matt - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Betty Buckley joins the show to discuss her deep connection to storytelling and the spiritual "calling" she first felt at eleven years old while watching the original Bob Fosse choreography in Pajama Game. She shares incredible stories from her early days in Texas, including her time as a teenage rodeo reporter and the persistent friction with her father regarding her pursuit of a career in show business. Betty also reflects on the power of the "11 O'clock Number," her legendary debut at Carnegie Hall, and why she firmly believes she is responsible for the modern usage of the word "dude". The conversation dives into her yearly residency at Joe's Pub and her role as an artist in residence at Mercyhurst University, where she leads acting workshops. Betty offers her enthusiastic "blessing" to the new Cats: "The Jellicle Ball" production, noting how the original score remains a brilliant social statement in its new ballroom culture setting. From her childhood "super weapon" voice to her studies in comparative world religions, this episode is a masterclass in staying true to one's essence while navigating a decades long iconic career. Betty Buckley is a Tony Award winning actress and singer and a Theater Hall of Fame inductee. Her legendary career includes starring roles in Cats, Sunset Boulevard, Triumph of Love, 1776, and Pippin. On screen, she has appeared in films such as Carrie, Tender Mercies, and Split, as well as the hit television series Eight is Enough and Law and Order: SVU.

In this episode, we dive into 43 Stages of Grieving: A Comedy, a wildly inventive and deeply human story about a pregnant, dying robot and a human determined to live forever. Forget the idea of just five stages—this surreal, heartfelt comedy explores the countless (and often hilarious) ways we navigate loss, from soft cheese to hard cheese and everything in between. As the pair grapple with an uncertain future, looming motherhood, and the complexities of technology and mortality, they search for meaning in a grief-saturated world. Playwright Micharne Cloughley joins us to discuss the origins of this poignant sci-fi comedy, her expansive theatre career, her work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art with The Civilians, and her transition into television writing on Law & Order: SVU. With projects spanning two continents and multiple genres, Micharne brings rich insight into storytelling, humor, and healing. Learn more at micharne.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

New York Times Notable author and journalist, Emily Listfield, spoke with us about quitting her waitressing job after her first advance, the true value of beta readers, and the rich people behaving badly in her latest thriller REASONS TO LIE.  Emily Listfield is the author of seven previous novels, including a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, It Was Gonna Be Like Paris. She is the former editor-in-chief of Fitness magazine and executive editor of Parade's HealthyStyle. Her writing appears frequently in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Allure, the New York Times, and numerous other national publications. Her latest novel, Reasons to Lie (Thomas & Mercer; February 24, 2026)—described as “Gossip Girl meets Law and Order SVU,”—is a propulsive mystery set in the rarefied world of NYC's elite and shaped by the bonds of female friendship. Oprah Daily included Reasons to Lie among their Most Anticipated Books of 2026. New York Times bestselling author Kate White called the book,“Taut, riveting, and laced with stunning and unsettling revelations…,” and author Elinor Lipman wrote, “REASONS TO LIE is set at the kind of snobby Manhattan school I love to hate. Highly enjoyable, flawlessly written, and highly recommended!” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

Tell me if this makes sense… We live in a world today characterized by a fetishized pornographic addiction to rape. If it were not so, Law & Order: SVU wouldn’t have made it past a single season – let alone, into SYNdication for nearly 30 years…! I loathe Adorno and the CULTural Marxists who SYNthesized (read: weaponized) Marx and Freud to the general detriment of mankind, beginning with the ‘West’. But, he raised some legit points, as often the baddies do. It’s their SOLUTIONS we all need be wary of. For nigh on 100 years, we’ve basked in the jaundiced glow of the Frankfurt School, as legions of university students continue having their minds and spirits poisoned in the name of ‘Progress’. See also the ancient Roman Collegium, a concept dating back to (at least) the days of Plato – who, incidentally, literally wrote the book on The Republic. I digress… In Adorno’s “Fetish-character” essay, he states, a fetish is a substitute object of desire.[1] I would submit that in the latent undercurrent of this Nietzschean ‘power-evolving universe’ of today’s America; men and women, by and large, secretly harbor a craven desire for rape. It sounds crazy! Until one considers the popularity of Law & Order: SVU for the last 27 years. America is Kung-Fu LARPing, with each new iteration of the ‘fetish substitute object of desire’ further blurring the lines between fantasy and reality (schizoaffective disorder) as we creep ever closer to the Chaos Magick of bringing these secret desires to life. But, beware; LARPing has consequences.[2] The Epstein Saga has been publicly ongoing for 2+ decades. More than a thousand witnesses have come forward – including dozens who’ve accused Trump (E. Jean Carroll) – and yet, only Epstein and Maxwell have been ‘brought to justice’. Speaking of ‘justice’, Thomas Massie probably said it best:[3] Congress created the Department of Justice, Congress funds the Department of Justice, and Congress is responsible for the oversight of the Department of Justice. When will we see justice? I’ll tell you what I’ve not seen. I’ve not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein Files – over 3 million documents describing horrible things, describing unspeakable things, much of it redacted. Over two dozen people have resigned; CEOS, members of government, worldwide. But, I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States, from this Department of Justice. Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royalty, his royal titles, due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested. Peter Mandelson, who previously served as UK’s Ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from United Kingdom’s House of Lords and the Labor Party, and he’s been arrested. Former Prime Minister of Norway Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged. But, we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States. What do we see? We see our FBI Director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas. It’s fine to be proud of this country. But, we should be proud of this country because we have a system of justice that works. And yet we do not. … We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now. The Trump (45/47) DOJ is unwilling to rat itself out – and so are the other 77+ million co-conspirators… And then there’s the 77 million co-conspirators who voted for Epstein’s best friend Trump as many as three times, knowing he’d been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, and even after he was found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. For 77 million men and women it was not a dealbreaker! He rapes, but he saves. He saves more than he rapes … but he probably does rape.[4] Considering the aforementioned, what would be crazy is not acknowledging America’s fetishized pornographic addiction to rape – which is precisely what we’re doing. We are gaslighting ourselves at this point, as we turn a blind eye to our own culpability. After all – on the eve of America’s 250th Anniversary of Independence – wasn’t this always to be a government of, by, and for The People…? 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; …21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, …24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: …26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. — Romans 1:18, 21–22, 24, 26–32 KJV 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. — Philippians 4:4–8 KJV #Links Clips [1:58] Etymology (the origins of words) was taken out of schools in the early 1900’s for a reason.

Massie Asks, “When Will We See Justice” Following Latest Epstein Files Revelations (See also C-SPAN Congressional Chronicle entry below[3:1]) Previous RWR broadcasts referenced 2026-02-25 2026-02-26 Proof of America’s fetishized pornographic addiction to rape Amanda Seyfried Wore A “Prosthetic [redacted]” For ‘Testament Of Ann Lee’ Amanda Seyfried will go to extreme lengths for a film role — especially when it comes to feeling comfortable during a nude scene. The actor wore what she described as a “prosthetic [redacted]” in her recent movie The Testament of Ann Lee, as she revealed in a Feb. 25 interview with BBC’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show. “This movie, it needed to be graphic, so, like, I had a prosthetic [redacted],” she said in a clip posted to Instagram, which understandably perplexed Mills himself. When pressed for more details, she surprisingly had a rave review about the experience. “It was cool. It was exciting.” Seyfried plays the real-life Ann Lee, a Christian woman in 18th-century Great Britain who viewed herself as a representative of God and eventually founded a religious sect called Shakers, with the film capturing her group’s move across the pond to New York during the Colonial era. Son of megachurch pastor sentenced after horrific materials found at home ‘among worst investigators have seen’ An Indiana megachurch once known for preaching purity and sexual morality has found itself at the center of a scandal that has shaken a congregation, rattled political allies, and ended with a six-year prison sentence. Jonathan Peternel, 24, of Pendleton, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in January to one Level 4 felony count of child exploitation and three felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. The case drew intense public scrutiny not only because of the disturbing evidence uncovered by investigators, but because his father, Nathan Peternel, remains listed as lead pastor at Life Church and is a longtime mentor and close associate of Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. Why Viewers Say You Should Watch ‘Nymphomaniac’ Alone Due to Its Graphic Scenes Both volumes of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac are streaming on Netflix in the U.S., and its return to an easy, familiar platform has revived a warning that has followed the film since 2013: ‘Watch this one by yourself.‘ … So why does this movie come with a warning like that? The movie’s name actually answers that on its own. The term nymphomania is used to classify someone who has an uncontrollable compulsion toward sex, and that is exactly what the film follows across 2 volumes and 8 chapters. It opens with a woman named Joe, found beaten in an alley. A man named Seligman brings her home, and she begins telling him the story of her life from her earliest sexual memories through decades of escalating need. Von Trier was telling the story of a woman whose entire life is shaped by a compulsion she cannot control. … The discomfort the audience feels isn’t incidental. It’s the mechanism. Von Trier built the film so that watching it puts you closer to Joe’s experience than any non-explicit version ever could. The surface reading is addiction… What Joe is actually chasing is not sex but connection. Every encounter she describes to Seligman moves her further from other people rather than closer to them. Sex becomes the thing she reaches for because the thing she actually needs keeps slipping out of range. That distance between the act and the need behind it is where von Trier plants the real story. The compulsion is real, but the loneliness underneath it is what he keeps circling back to. He called this technique “Digressionism,” a term he coined to describe a storytelling style that deliberately wanders away from its own plot. He cited Marcel Proust as an influence. Nymphomaniac is the final film in what von Trier and critics call the Depression Trilogy. Following Antichrist in 2009 and Melancholia in 2011. After years infiltrating child exploitation rings, expert reveals an even DARKER American underworld | Blaze Media Demons in the Headlines EXPOSED: The War for Power and Souls in D.C. | Strange Encounters | Ep 29 – YouTube [31:30–33:26] Back to the politics piece; everybody within politics – even if they disagree with exploitation or whatever – they show partiality. And, I believe it’s, is it second Peter? … It says, ‘where partiality exists, exists every form of deceit and evil’. We can look it up … but I think that’s it. But, where partiality exists, exists all forms of evil. ***[Did he mean this passage?]For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. – James 3:16–17 KJV*** And, what is happening in our political world that I’ve that I’ve seen now is; you have career politicians – even if they claim to be Christians – they sell access. And, it might be access to conservative organizations. But, they sell access – and they’re partial to donors. … they’re unbelievably partial. And, they’re partial to their ‘club’, as opposed to the people they’re elected to represent. And, you have a bureaucracy that’s in place, and you have these elitists that are in place, that think that they can buy – because they have been able to buy your position – buy you, buy access to you, or buy access to somebody else, and ‘own’ – in this case, a US Senator, what I’m running for. But, it’s across the board for everything; Congressmen, even the President … Everything’s for sale. And, it’s ‘access’ that they’re selling, right? And, that’s the thing that stood out to me the most; partiality. More proof / Trump-Epstein Saga DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes and Images of Kids The Justice Department is under fire after newly released Jeffrey Epstein case materials reportedly included unredacted nude images and photos involving minors. Analysis by CNN uncovered nearly 100 explicit pictures of two naked young women on a beach, the news outlet reported. The materials also included photos showing a young girl kissing Epstein on the cheek. At least one unredacted image depicted Epstein alongside a nude female, and additional selfie-style nude photos of at least two other unidentified females were also published, with their ages unclear, according to CNN. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed and President Trump signed in late November, the DOJ is obligated to omit sexually explicit imagery and anything that might identify victims. The images have now been redacted.

Leon Black; you don’t even have to see past the redactions to see that this man needs to be investigated. Jess Staley; accused of terrible things, it’s right there in the files. Why is he not being investigated? And, Leslie Wexner; why did the FBI list him as a co-conspirator in their own documents in a child sex trafficking case, and then tell him, according to him, that they had no questions for him? Why is that? Well, the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ and the FBI to disclose to us their internal memos and emails about how they made those decisions, whether to prosecute or not prosecute. Yet, they have not delivered those memos. And, we still don’t have the memos and documents and emails from 2008, to explain why Jeffrey Epstein was given such a light sentence in what would have been an open and shut case of child sex trafficking, which allowed him to go back and recommit these terrible crimes, create hundreds of more victims, and ensnare so many other people in his conspiracy. Where are those documents that describe those decisions? We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now!

Meghan Walsh says she is being stalked by three people. One of them is Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay. Sounds impossible, right? But she's not the only one saying it. In this episode, we meet Lauren. She claims to be the biological mother of Mariska's adopted daughter. Her story begins with a supposed secret adoption, and spirals into accusations of betrayal and abandonment. Lauren says the actress is not just stalking her, but working behind the scenes to silence anyone who challenges her. Meghan believes her. To her, Lauren is the missing piece that proves her own story is real. But the more we dig, the harder it becomes to separate truth from delusion. Is this the beginning of a deeper conspiracy? Or just another internet rabbit hole? This extended version includes additional narration and soundbites not available in the public edit. Let me know what you think of the series so far.
