We cover what we didn't get to last time: Daryl Hannah's bombshell New York Times op-ed, what the show got right and wrong about Carolyn Bessette's distress over the paparazzi, the plane crash, and whether Jack Schlossberg is the next JFK Jr. Chapters: 00:00 — Intro 04:00 — The actor who played JFK Jr. called RoseMarie 08:30 — Daryl Hannah's bombshell NYT op-ed 14:30 — The wedding: how reporters found out 23:30 — Was Carolyn really depressed and homebound? 28:00 — The plane crash: what actually happened Learn more about your ad choices.
