“Did it hurt? I had a hot brand seared into my skin. What the hell do you think?”

“Did it hurt? I had a hot brand seared into my skin. What the hell do you think?”

A murder victim may have been trying to leave a woman's empowerment group run by a charismatic man. "Accredo" offers expensive classes, blackmail photos, branded symbols, and sex with the leader. Can hot-mess Amanda Rollins convince the women to stand on their own and tell the truth?

We're talking about SVU season 20 episode 5 "Accredo." Our special guest is Erika Villalba from the "That Aged Well" podcast.

This episode is inspired by the case of the NXIVM cult.
