Early in the finale, Alice learns the truth about her dog's death (for real this time). It turns out, her mother-in-law Patty isn't responsible for the murder, as we previously thought in Episode 11. The dog killer is actually Marilyn, the garden club's president.
And, like the other Grosse Pointe death, it wasn't totally on purpose. Marilyn had found her cat being attacked by another animal in the dark and shot her gun in the direction of the threat, accidentally killing Alice's furry friend. And once Alice learns the full truth, she gets a guilty conscience about all that has happened. She calls Brett, admitting there might be feelings between them, and then she does something that could change the course of the series: She heads to the police station.
She says she's done something they should know about, and prepares to give a statement. As she sits down to presumably confess about her father-in-law's demise, Joel tries, but fails, to interrupt her. Meanwhile, the rest of the group finds Keith's body — which had been moved by Kenny — and relocates his corpse to the compost bin in the garden.
The episode ends with one final time jump, and this time, a carved pumpkin signals the shift, reading: 'Next Season.' We see our three faithful gardeners — Birdie, Brett and Catherine — chastising someone for breaking their trust. The person's identity is concealed by a costume, but it seems like it's probably Alice. Then again, we didn't predict Quiche would be Keith, so the series could throw a curveball. After all, we don't know exactly what happened with Alice at the police station, and we aren't sure if 'that tweaker gas station guy' has said anything more about the night of the gala and that stolen bracelet. Is it actually Kenny? Could it be Joel? Gas station guy? It's anybody's guess!

Predators trailer explores To Catch A Predator's complicated legacy
On the surface, To Catch A Predator may seem like it was a moral net-positive. The Dateline series helped apprehend multiple criminals before they could target more children. That, at least on paper, sounds like a good thing. Predators, a new documentary delving into the repercussions of the popular show, however, argues that its legacy is a lot more complicated than that. 'A cultural sensation from its inception in the early 2000s, Dateline NBC's candid-camera investigative series To Catch A Predator ensnared sex offenders and lured them to a film set, where they would be interviewed and arrested while cameras rolled. The show was a hit and transformed its host Chris Hansen into a moral crusader and TV star, while spawning a worldwide industry of imitators and vigilantes,' the documentary's logline reads. 'But why did we watch so voraciously — and why do we continue to devour its web-based, clickbait-driven offshoots?' 'Looking back on the show and the countless franchises it spawned, filmmaker David Osit turns his camera on journalists, actors, law enforcers, academics, and ultimately himself, to trace America's obsession with watching people at their lowest,' the film's synopsis continues, before promising to 'delve into the murk of human nature to observe hunter, predator, subject and spectator alike, all ensnared in a complicated web of entertainment as far as the eye can see.' A new trailer for the documentary includes a clip of a recorded call presumably from the show, before teasing an interview with Hansen himself. 'Some people watching this may feel like you have something to answer for. What do you say to that?' the filmmaker asks while Hansen looks uncomfortable. To Catch A Predator premiered in 2004 and was canceled in 2008, shortly after Bill Conradt, a Texas assistant district attorney, committed suicide after learning he was about to be a subject on the show. In a statement, Osit said the incident left him with a long-lasting distaste for the true crime genre. 'I certainly found the show fascinating… I remembered watching as a young adult and feeling a complex stew of discomfort and schadenfreude as child predators were lured into a house, interviewed and ultimately arrested with cameras rolling for our national entertainment,' he said, per People. 'But even knowing the sordid details of what happened in Texas towards the end of the show's run—a man who ultimately committed suicide rather than be filmed by Dateline NBC cameras during one of their child predator stings—I didn't imagine a story about this show could transcend what always bothered me most about the true crime genre.' You can revisit the phenomenon yourself (or decide whether Osit's documentary just advances To Catch A Predator's long shadow) when the film premieres September 19 in theaters. More from A.V.

Older People Reveal "Forgotten Things" From The '70s
Maybe it's a mid-life crisis, or maybe it's just adulting, but I've recently become obsessed with reading about what life was like in decades past. And what better way to do that than by learning from people who were actually there for all the chaos that unfolded in recent history? Why not let them tell us some details we probably aren't aware of? And this time, we're gonna focus on the '70s — because, yes, that was 50 years ago now. Older people on Reddit have recently been answering the question: "What part of the 1970s do people like to forget about?" Without further ado, here are some of the top responses... "The sexual freedom that followed Roe v. Wade. So many people were screwing so many others. The porn film Deep Throat was a top-10 movie the year it was released. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was released in late 1969, but its impact led to the '70s." "Pollution. In LA, you never saw the 10,000 ft mountains right next to the city because the smog was so thick." "Rampant, over-the-top sexism, even in a supposedly liberal community. I was a young woman then. It was bad, really bad. As a newlywed, I had gotten a good job, and the boss immediately told me if I didn't put out 'like the rest of them' I would lose it. I walked out of the office and told my husband when I got home. He met that guy in the parking lot after work — and I went to work the following day and he left me alone. Not because he wanted to, but because he knew his ass was grass if he bothered me. Women without the support of a man were out of luck and abused daily. It was so bad." "So much drunk driving." "The inflation was insane. Remember Nixon's attempt to freeze it? It should have been greeted with cheers, but it was a complete public relations failure." "Smoking everywhere. Subways, zoos, movie theaters, elementary schools, etc." "Carpets in the bathroom and kitchen. This was quite common in my neighborhood, so I'm guessing others have hate for this too." "Getting camera film developed." "The steps made to begin cleaning up the environment. It's not something we 'like' to forget about, but many people don't remember or realize the progress made to clean up our environment. The expectation of taking care of our planet has become commonplace; it didn't used to be like that. There is still a lot of work to do, but we've come a long way in 50 years. "White men with curly perms wearing one-piece leisure suits." "All the bombings. In the early '70s there were 2,500 bombings on US soil, nearly five a day." "Fear of getting swallowed up by quicksand." "The people who thought that seat belts and airbags were depriving them of liberty." "Many young girls went missing over those years. We were so naive about the presence of evil." "I remember no AC in the hot, humid days, the teachers would turn off the lights to make it cooler." "The backlash of society against the vibes of hippie culture." "In Canada, women were not allowed to get credit (card/loans) without a male co-signing. In France, kindergarteners were still given a glass of wine. Oh, and they were still guillotining people." "I was 14 years old in 1978. My guidance counsellor reviewed my course selections for the next year of high school and one of my choices was chemistry. He looked at me and said, 'Now, why would a young lady need don't we change that to secretarial skills instead?' And me, being a kid not knowing any better, I said 'OK' and he enrolled me to learn how to type and do shorthand/dictation like a good little girl. That's what I don't miss about the 1970s: being told as a young lady that I have limited things that I should be preparing for and doing in my life." "I was a kid in the '70s, and I remember everything stank. The cars on the road, indoors (tobacco smoke), trash piled up by the the streams and rivers were foul." "The rise of recreational use of pills. Reds, yellows, rainbows, Quaaludes, white crosses, and the rise of methamphetamine." "People like to forget about at least 50% of the pop music from the '70s, because it was awful." "The lack of wildlife. It was rare to see deer, and unheard of to see eagles in their habitat in the midwest. They made a comeback in the '80s and are common now, even though the human population has grown." "In the '70s I was 8–18. As a kid, I remember the nightly news and all the stories about Vietnam, and seeing news reporters with the soldiers out in the field. They were showing dead people on the news and people getting shot on the news. It was the first war that was shown every night on the nightly news. Which helped fuel a lot of the anti-war protests. It was a big relief to me when the war ended before I turned 18." "The general 'malaise' (what we'd call the 'vibe' today), especially toward the end. The economy, the oil shortages, the general sense that America was a mess, a longing for the 'good old days' of the 1950s." "How long it took to cook! When I was a kid, I had to wait for 45 fucking minutes for a turkey pot pie to cook, from the freezer, in the oven. Now, with microwaves and toaster ovens, cooking is so much faster." "Getting shit TV reception and having to constantly adjust the aerial. Only having like four channels: ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS." "People forget that raising 'free range' kids, '70s–80s-style, really did entail putting children into danger that they probably should not have been put into. There was a gap between moms in the neighborhood being home and a sense of neighborhood/community of the '50s–'60s, and kids were being dumped into a world they were unprepared for without any oversight or protection. By the age of 7, I was coming home alone to an unlocked house in an area full of transient weirdos living in rented duplexes — no one knew you, no one cared, and creeps abounded; I didn't even know my parents' work numbers. I was left alone at night with infants in my care by the time I was 11. It was terrifying. My parents only cared about their own lives and their own good times — and they were respectable professionals! Can't even imagine what people whose parents were actually scumbags were experiencing." Now that we've covered the '70s, let's talk about the '80s! People who were there, what's one thing nobody talks about anymore that was rampant 40 years ago?
