In this episode, Anne shares a copycat recipe that mimicks Starbucks's Caramel Apple Spice drink. Karen introduces a social media app the ladies have never heard of and then recounts the horrendous acts of a guy with too many letters in his name. In his killing spree, he picked women who were homeless and or prostitutes because he did not think anyone would care enough to investigate their disappearances. He was right until he murdered Sarah Butler, who was not a prostitute but was a college student trying to launch a singing career and build a life for herself. Sarah's family brought this killer down using his own tool, a social media app called Tagged.
