About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious deaths in a family in Springfield, Missouri, leading to suspicions of foul play.

A church organist in Springfield, Missouri buries her husband, then her son, both written off as victims of the same nasty “flu.” When a third family member suddenly collapses, that “coincidence” starts to look more like design than fate, and the question becomes who inside the Staudte house was quietly deciding who lived and who died.
