In this episode, the story takes a sharper turn. Family ties, financial control, and manipulation collide in ways that are hard to ignore.
Lois begins to see through the lies — realizing that the words whispered to her weren’t always the truth. From Alexa devices “dropping in” on private conversations, to fake Zillow listings, to shocking financial withdrawals, the cracks in the foundation of trust become impossible to hide.
Chet continues to stand by me, even as Melissa and Darren tighten their grip on security cameras, finances, and even family heirlooms. Behind the scenes, more unsettling truths come to light — from six-figure withdrawals and secret accounts, to attempts at pushing Chet and Lois into long-term care facilities against their wishes.
Episode Eight isn’t just about the money. It’s about control, secrecy, and the unraveling of a family story that was never supposed to go this way.
