In The Smell of the Kill, during a late-night chat in the kitchen after dinner, Nicky, Debra, and Molly realize their husbands have accidentally locked themselves in the walk-in freezer downstairs. Should they let them out? Or is this the perfect opportunity to free themselves from the flaws of their marriages?

The stream will be available above beginning at 2 PM and will be online through September 3 at 2 PM.
