Based on the true events, this final episode reveals the driving force of this tv show: satire and dark humor.
Dead Betty appears as a ghost p.e. During the court hearing as Candy retells the events during her visit at Bettys and what led to the murder of Betty, the tv show leaves reality and goes metaphysical. Bettty and the axe is some kind of slapstick element. Also, the axe murder itself is so over-the-top bloody, edited in a staccato way with Candys moaning, and the exagerated sound design, that you can't take the murder and finally the tv show too serious.
Even the final plead by Candys' lawyer with his references to Friday 13th (the day of the murder) and Halloween (being near, as the final court hearing takes place) and his drivel about some higher power being responsible for this coincidance, approves consequently that the whole case is ridiculous.
Candys 'motivation', the verdict of the jury and the end, Candys first person naration create a ring closure to the beginning of episode one. Great.
All in all, an entertaining mixed genre tv show with fine performances by the actors and some good satire.
