We begin with reporters questioning Sam about the discovery of Rob Piest’s body and Gacy. Bill Kunkle then gets questioned by reporters about the discovery, revealing the total number of bodies to be 33. Jeff and Bill speak with the district attorney about Gacy, where Jeff is chastised for publishing a book about Gacy’s insanity before the trial was over.

Bill goes on to tell Jeff they can’t use him as a key witness, because they are trying to show Gacy isn’t insane, and his book messes with that argument. Sam confronts Gacy on the 5th day of trials, about him writing to Judge Garippo, complaining about an insufficient number of witnesses being called on his behalf. Sam mentions how David Cram is the star witness for the prosecution, which seems to spark some memory in Gacy, before we get a flashback to 1976 to see David.

David struggles a bit with his job, when one of the kids tells him that he could get a side job from Gacy if he shapes up. Greg mentions that Gacy told him to dig trenches under the house. John pays David’s bail, and the other employees visiting tell him that John was talking about letting David live with him for cheaper rent. Sam and Bill talk with the judge about the trial taking too long, and the constant requests for mistrials. Garippo brings in Gacy, telling the two about his letters. The letters talk about how Gacy has lost faith in his attorneys and disagrees with the insanity defense.

Elizabeth then talks about starting the Robert Piest Foundation, and suing the police departments for failing to protect the families. Bill talks with David about how to phrase his testimony, and that Gacy needs to come off as normal in his mental state. This would show that Gacy is conniving and manipulated David. Tovar tries to convince Gacy to tell him how many bodies there are, Gacy responds with 45, but tells him it’s up to him to find out, before he’s hauled off for his next day of trial. We then get images of Bill Kunkle, another lawyer (hard to tell, maybe Sam, Bob, or someone else), some of the victim’s families, and court drawings before we get an image of David Cram. 

This episode was another great addition. The only thing that they could have added with the real images was the names of the two lawyers, because you would have to research to find out the first guy is Bill Kunkle, and it’s hard to tell who the other guy is, since there are no names. It might be easier to tell the Piest family, but the same thing goes for them, and Maryjane, Billy’s sister. Other than that though, there aren’t any complaints.
