Save This, I've Got Him

A three-level townhouse. A nanny. Steve's mother helping with the baby. For a brief period it feels almost ordinary. Then Tara smashes a phone against the wall and photographs a bruise.

She Asked Me to Put Drugs in Your Wine

The nanny approaches Steve in the kitchen: 'This will probably get me fired.' She has a brother in the FBI. Her brother told her to tell Steve immediately. Tara has been putting Seroquel in Steve's wine. Her response: 'I do it all the time.' Then 'We all do it.' Then 'They did it.' In her text to Dr. Gopal that night, Tara buries the admission inside a complaint about the nanny. In her sworn court filing, the number becomes two. The confession shrank. The witness chose silence a year later.
