DeepSummary
The episode revolves around a waitress named Dee who worked at IHOP. She was an alcoholic and had a dysfunctional family life. Dee's boss, Alan, plotted to have his lover Art killed so he could inherit Art's wealth. Alan coerced Dee into helping him with the murder plot by making her feel indispensable at her job.
To carry out the murder, Alan recruited two men, Mike and Bill, to kill Art. After Art was murdered, Dee helped clean up the crime scene and took care of Art's elderly mother, Bessie, to cover up the crime. Eventually, Bessie was also killed, and their bodies were buried on the property.
As Alan squandered Art's fortune, Dee became increasingly unraveled. She eventually confessed everything to her daughter, who called the police. Dee, Alan, Mike, and Bill were all arrested and initially sentenced to death, but their sentences were later commuted to life in prison.
