This episode is another convoluted idea of bad people getting whats coming to them but that it is still a crime even if it ends up doing the right thing.

In summary, two girls are the victim of a hit and run in a peacefull protest when a wannabe nazi drives through the crowd and injures a black woman.

In dealing with that trauma / event esme's gf is surprised her research / catfishing of the perp is successfull enough for him to want to meet up and sets off a chain of unfortunate events in order to gather evidence against the nazi's for the hit and run.

As events unfold esme is put in one absurd situation after another, getting deeper and deeper in to the world of militant white supremisists and once again the reason for her being on trial is left to the end with a quick wrap up.

It's almost at jumping the shark levels of absurdity, too much focus on drama and spectacle and lacks depth, and to cap it off esme's defense team might as well have been non existant, it's all about the prosecution, at no point is her defense given a chance to at least cast reasonable doubt ? You could argue the flashback of events is her defense but there is no scene in court about it, it's just the prosecution steam rolling her in to guilt with not even a single objection.

And thus she is found guilty and sent to life imprisonment for premedatated murder of 'two innocent upstanding citizens'.

Acting could be better, some very stiff performances and direction lacks previous polish.

Avoid if you want closure.

Esme, a lesbian, escaped her southern white Bible-thumping racist background to go up north and be herself. She has a black gf and just wants to forget racists exist.

They are out shopping when they happen on a white supremacy demonstration and someone drives a car into one of their friends, injuring him for life. Her black gf pretends to be one to find out more info.

One of them showed up at the door so she sends Esme down to meet him. He hints they are planning something big and they make a police report, but don't know his name just his handle, 88 - we all know what that means.

Once they find the cops won't do anything, Esme plays undercover cop and goes to their compound, where she sees the car and a swastika in a barn.

One of them is suspicious and catches her and demands her phone and passcode...

88 tackles him and let's her escape. She calls her gf to tell her what's happened and describes the house.

Arrives home and the cops are there. The detective they gave the report to opens the trunk and...

I felt bad for her in that I obviously thought the gf should feel really guilty about leading her down the path; but she begged her not to go.

Feeling guilty about doing nothing when a black boy was beat up in front of her by her brother and his friends when she was a kid she wants to do something now.

The car truck was rigged with a bomb, do he wasn't being "nice" afterall. Cops find nothing at the compound. She figures out a way to track them and finds 88 and one of his compadres and issues the same they had done to others.

Eye for an eye.

Somehow the story isn't satisfying. Her actions were premeditated and apparently white supermacists are people, too, and she's off to the slammer! Her life his ruined sac another racist will pop up like the bop a weasel game.
