The Good Pod

Alicia steps into a blue-ribbon panel reviewing a police shooting—unprepared, determined, and unflappable. Rookie mistakes lead her to dig deeper: she challenges protocols, questions the decline of evidence, and steps on toes—including her husband Peter’s—when she realizes a drop gun controversy was buried. Meanwhile, she’s battling back… the house she hoped to buy, a tense meeting with her mother-in-law, and shady advances from an FBI-friendly face. It’s an Alicia-fueled showdown with integrity, family, and personal sanctuary all on the line—culminating at the hair salon where a final stare sets up a major cliffhanger.
