Dead to Me season 3 recap guide: All 10 episodes explained

Dead to Me season 3, episode 8 recap: We’ll Find A Way

The first thing Jen does after Ben gets arrested is drive to the police station to yell at Perez. Even though Jen doesn’t want to press charges against Ben, they still had to arrest him. But Perez argues that he’ll be out in no time on bail because he’s a rich white guy. She also makes it clear to Jen that there is no more “we,” Jen is on her own when it comes to the Steve investigation.

When she gets home, a frantic Jen tells Judy that she’s planning to confess. Judy advises her against it since they still don’t know exactly what Glenn knows. Plus, Judy thinks they should go on vacation first, maybe to Mexico where Steve had a vacation home.

Jen agrees and then returns to Karen’s for the open house. There, she asks Christopher if he can watch the boys for a few days while Jen and Judy are away. Jen also runs into Glenn at the open house, as he’s snooping around Karen’s safe room. He follows her back to her house to ask her a few questions.

Glenn wants to know the nature of Jen’s relationship with Steve. He knows she was his realtor but he’s curious if they had any communication after that. Jen says she can’t remember for sure. Then Judy comes in and tells Glenn she has cancer and that Jen is pregnant in an attempt to earn some sympathy from him.

Once Glenn leaves, Jen freaks out as she thinks Glenn took her #1 Mom mug to test her DNA against Steve’s body. Jen thinks they need to kill Glenn by baking pain pills into some scones. But before they can put that plan into action Judy finds the mug in the sink. It’s all good, right?

Next, they need to get an alibi for the weekend they were near the forest where they buried Steve’s body. They go meet with Jeff and agree that they’ll all be each other’s alibi for that weekend.

Of course, Jen and Judy don’t tell Jeff that, but they play along with his fear that Karen had him followed that weekend and took pictures of him cheating and using methamphetamines to bring up during their divorce proceedings. They tell Jeff they can be his alibi so he can tell everyone he was with them that weekend and vice versa.

During their chat, Jeff also admits that he never deleted the security footage Jen asked him to delete back in season 2. So now they have another stop to make, back to Karen’s. Jen and Judy convince Karen to delete the last year of her photos, footage, and everything else to start getting over Jeff. Then they take her hard drive for good measure.

But their troubles aren’t over. Karen visits Jen later that night to warn her that a strange man has been lurking around their house and going through their trash. When Karen shows Jen the video, we see that it’s Glenn! He went through Jen’s trash at some point and takes something out, probably to test her DNA, just as Jen feared.
