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.
