⚠️ Trigger warning: this episode discusses harm to an animal. If that's not for you, skip this one and we'll see you next time.

A listener writes in about her brother's golden retriever, his new fiancée who never warmed to the dog, and the day everything went very, very wrong. Caroline and Daryl read the letter, try to work out if the family's suspicions are warranted (spoiler: they think so), and dig into the red flags everyone missed. Plus: dodgy neighbours, hypnosis for the chronically noise-tortured, and Caroline's daughter staging an intervention about her mum's screen time. Also some recommendations and a mild rant about American reality TV.

Filth level: standard WTF. Sense of justice: unfulfilled.
