This week we continue the story of Ted Kennedy, Mary Jo Kopechne, and the tragedy at Chappaquiddick. We are talking about what actually happened that night and the beginning of Teds schemes to avoid accountability. 

The main Kennedy family finally gets notified of the accident and their political machine begins powering up to help Ted.  Meanwhile Ted is doing everything he can to muddy the waters but ends up making things worse.

Next week we will talk about the actual coverup and the leadup to the court case.
