About this episode

The episode recounts the harrowing experience of Morgan Metzer, who was attacked by a masked intruder on New Year's Eve 2020, and her suspicions about her ex-husband's role in the incident.

On New Year’s Eve in 2020, Morgan Metzer was woken out of sleep to a masked intruder standing in her bedroom doorway. Morgan’s attacker disguised his voice to sound like Batman, however he seemed to know intimate details about her personal life. After the brutal attack, he left her bound, beaten and terrified on her back porch. 45 minutes after the attack, Morgan’s ex-husband Rodney Metzer was the first to find her, still bound with a pillowcase over her head. Rod immediately sprung into action to save the day, calling 911, however Morgan had a feeling that Rodney wasn’t actually the hero in her story - he was the villain.
