Shanda discusses pirate and successful smuggler Jean Lafitte and how he helped General Andrew Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 in exchange for a pardon for him and his brother Pierre Lafitte. Ashley recounts the history of the expensive and exclusive Metairie Cemetery which was developed in 1872 by Charles T. Howard after he was snubbed by society, along with the tragic tale of Josie Arlington, a wealthy madam who was also snubbed, whose tomb is located in Metairie Cemetery but is occupied by another family.
