I Was Warned and Didn't Listen is the ninth episode of the tenth season of Evil Lives Here. In this episode, viewers are introduced to the story of a man named Keith who was warned about the dangerous tendencies of his sister's husband, but failed to act on those warnings.

Keith's sister, Stephanie, fell in love with a man named Tony. From the outside, Tony appeared to be the perfect partner for Stephanie. He was charismatic, charming, and successful. However, as Keith got to know Tony better, he began to see a darker side.

Keith noticed that Tony had a short temper and would often lash out at Stephanie over small things. He also noticed that Tony had no respect for other people's property and would often damage things that didn't belong to him. Concerned for his sister's safety, Keith tried to warn her about Tony's behavior, but Stephanie was in love and didn't want to hear it.

Despite Keith's warnings, Stephanie went ahead and married Tony. At first, things seemed to be going well. However, it wasn't long before Tony's true colors began to show. He became increasingly controlling and abusive towards Stephanie. Keith watched in horror as his sister's husband tore her down emotionally and physically.

As the abuse continued, Keith found himself becoming increasingly frustrated and angry. He couldn't understand why Stephanie refused to leave Tony, even though it was clear that he was damaging her both physically and mentally. However, Keith also knew that he had a part to play in the situation. He had been warned about Tony's behavior and had failed to act on those warnings.

As Keith's guilt and frustration grew, he began to distance himself from Stephanie and Tony. He didn't want to be around his sister's abuser, but he also felt guilty for not doing more to protect her. Eventually, Stephanie did manage to leave Tony and move on with her life. However, the scars left by her abusive relationship remained long after the marriage had ended.
