Sonia Weidenfelder starts a romantic affair with Rick Spaulding, who is in a legal battle with his ex, Debra "Debbie" Morgan, because of Rick refusing to pay child support. In November 2016, Rick uses Sonia to shoot Debbie in the face at point-blank range in her house while she sleeps. Both are sentenced to forty-seven years to life, with both eligible for parole in 2063. Denise Gay falls in love and moves in with widowed coworker Maurice Cole, but she is jealous of his dead wife, especially his son, Matre, who hasn't coped with the loss and is a constant reminder. In March 2017, Denise manipulates her daughter Latoya to brutally suffocate Matre in order to get exactly what she wanted, all witnessed by Denise's thirteen-year-old daughter, Alana. She testifies against her mother and sister, and Latoya receives a thirty year sentence while Denise receives life without parole. Matre's family has since forgiven Latoya for the crime, knowing that she was tightly under her mother's thumb and would thus never have done it otherwise, but maintained their hatred and disgust toward Denise. Mary Rice is glad to meet her boyfriend William "Billy" Boyette after he's released from prison. On January 31, 2017, when Billy's ex, Alicia Greer, accuses him of domestic violence, Billy and Mary murder her and her friend, Jacqueline Moore. Then, for the next eight days, they murder Peggy Broz and Kayla Crocker for their cars in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. After being cornered in a motel by the cops, Mary surrenders, but Billy cowardly commits suicide to prevent himself from going back to jail. Facing the death penalty, Mary pleads guilty to the killing spree and is sentenced to life without parole.
