About this episode
In this flashback episode, we are in the late 1970s where the Hillside Strangler had been captured, and two men now awaited trail. But one of them, Kenneth Bianchi, had a plan for escaping a life sentence - fake a Hillside Strangler attack, complete with DNA. Enter Veronica Compton, Bianchi's own Harley Quinn. Firmly under Bianchi's spell, she would go on to attempt to kill another woman before being caught by the police and ruining Bianchi's plans.
