In this episode, Sam and Tori get into a Penn State mystery: the murder of Betsy Aardsma. On a quiet November day in 1969, Betsy, a young graduate student at Penn State, was fatally stabbed in the university’s library, and despite the crowded scene, Betsy and her family never got the justice they deserved. Who would want to harm this bright, promising woman, and how did the case go so cold, so fast? Sam and Tori examine the strange details and intriguing theories dated but not forgotten case.

But that’s not all! In a lighter twist, the duo also takes a detour into The Great Clowning of 8/20. We were clowning for some kind announcement from Taylor but instead got guest performances from Florence for Florida!!! and Jack Antonoff during the surprise songs which was an exciting surprise for the Swifties!
