That's faster than most podcast episodes get edited. So what actually happened — and what does it mean that it can happen again? In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita move from the individual cases and start interrogating the system. They break down apophenia — your brain's tendency to find patterns even where none exist — and trace exactly how one influencer newsletter traveled from fringe post to White House press briefing to multi-agency FBI investigation. They also cover the cases that genuinely do deserve more scrutiny, including Amy Eskridge's deeply unsettling prediction about her own death. The verdict: overwhelmingly apophenia. But the mechanism that got us here? That's the real story. ⚠️ This episode discusses suicide and harassment of grieving families. If you're struggling, call or text 988.
