Betty Lou is eventually tried and convicted for her husband's murder.

Vickie begins to experience a series of miscarriages, which puts a strain on her marriage. She believes that her husband is having an affair and, in response, becomes overbearing and possessive. Vickie ultimately murders her husband in a fit of rage, but her actions are discovered and she is sentenced to life in prison.
