This week, in Van Buren, Arkansas, an exacting, and difficult mother continues to oversee her children's lives, well into adulthood, causing many problems. One night someone decides to bash this woman's head in, leaving her nearly unrecognizable, and the crime scene streaked with blood. Attention immediately focuses on her son, but there just isn't enough evidence to make a move, while local people wonder if they could be next. In the end, a shocking truth comes to light, leaving no doubt as to what happened, and what strange weapon was used to accomplish it!! A truly strange mystery!

Along the way, we find out that Arkansas loves a pageant, that you can't control your adult children, and that when you get a divorce... leverage is the key!
