This episode brings to light the greed-induced manipulations that are often responsible for the downfall of even the strongest relationships. It tells the story of Dr. Rudolph "Rudy" Hines, a prominent orthopedic surgeon from Maryland.

At the prime of his career, Rudy was highly respected among his peers and patients alike. Along with his wife, Mary, he lived a luxurious life with all the privileges that come with being a successful doctor. However, Rudy's insatiable greed and desire for an even more luxurious life led him to embark on several schemes that would end up costing him everything.

Things took a turn for the worse when Rudy started seeing a patient named Beverly. A wealthy divorcee, Beverly was drawn to Rudy's charm and status. However, what Rudy saw in Beverly was an opportunity to make more money. He convinced Beverly to invest in a medical facility that he was planning to open. In return, Beverly would have a stake in the facility and would make a profit on it once it was operational.

Despite her reservations, Beverly went ahead with the investment. However, what she didn't know was that the medical facility was only a guise for Rudy's real plan. He had gathered a group of investors, including Beverly, for a fraudulent scheme where he took their money and used it for his personal expenses. This included purchasing luxury cars, private jets, and exotic vacations.

As Rudy's greed continued to grow, he found himself in a deep hole of debt. To make matters worse, his wife Mary found out about his infidelity and her husband's financial woes. She confronted him relentlessly, leading Rudy to hatch a plan that would poison his own wife. He hoped to collect her life insurance payout and use it to pay off his debts. Rudy successfully poisoned Mary, but the plan eventually backfired when he was found out and arrested.
