Ooh, you guys knew this one was coming! Just to get it out of the way, yes we get a Joe Exotic music video of Carole feeding body parts to cats and, yes, it's a banger.

Teased at the end of episode two, The Secret spends every second of the episode exploring whether or not Carole Baskin murdered her ex-husband: Don Lewis. Joe Exotic seems pretty convinced of it, but obviously he's a tad biased for a number of reasons. But then we get interviews with Lewis' family who all seem pretty convinced themselves - as I imagine you would be too if you inherited ten percent of your father's estate whilst your stepmother took the rest.

Then there's the fact that Don loved going to Costa Rica, but the type of plane he flew would have no way of making it there...plus he had no license. Alrighty, maybe he fell out of the plane. Oh! Carole says he had Dementia though, so that probably explains it.

But, Don also had a restraining order against Carole due to constant death threats. She also hid his gun whilst purchasing one herself. Plus his will specifically said "upon the event of my disappearance", which is super weird language to use, and that pretty much everything should be left to Carole. Now, look, we're not here to point fingers, that would be unethical, so we won't.

Unrelated note: there's a great band called SHOW ME THE BODY, you guys should check 'em out.

Johnny sat by the fire, idly swirling his brandy, flicking through the pages of War and Peace, wondering whether it was pretentious to write his bio in the third person.
