Paperny, a prison consultant, argues Holmes knew Billy Evans was seeking a percentage of the documentary deal and calls the arrangement calculating. He also puts a figure on her restitution and predicts a media career over Theranos 2.0. - You Can See Everything, 2026-10-29
Explains prison phone rules via the call scene
Walks through the film's phone-call scene, where Billy Evans warns Fielder not to record a call with Holmes, and uses it to explain prison phone rules: three-way calls to unapproved people can land an inmate in segregation, while a recording she did not know about likely would not. - Nick Reiner trust fund fight, 2026-10-23
Reads the probate filing for the retainer backstory

Walks the trust petition ahead of the hearing
Walks through the trust petition ahead of the October 23 probate hearing: the 1993 trust terms, the $558,000 vesting at 30, the trustee's shifting excuses, and the incompetence definition.

Previews the probable cause hearing with a defense attorney
Previews the November 24 probable cause hearing with a defense attorney: the prosecution will likely lean on a lead investigator and digital forensics rather than the accuser, and dismissal is very unlikely. Analysis and prediction, not a development in the case. - Clavicular rape charges, 2026-10-22
Breaks down the no-posting bail condition
Runs through the bail conditions with a defense attorney, focusing on the no-posting provision and how Peters' own lawyers now fold the communications into filings. Chew explains why an acquittal would not end the civil case but a conviction would. - Clavicular rape charges, 2026-10-22
Debates jury selection and the bail amount
Weber and Chew talk jury selection and bail: whether Peters' million followers make an impartial Cape Cod jury hard, and whether $10,000 is low for charges this serious. Opinion and analysis on facts already on the record, with no new development. - Clavicular rape charges, 2026-10-22
Interviews Depp's ex-lawyer on the support dog
Brings on Johnny Depp's former lawyer to talk media pressure and the emotional support dog. He calls the dog a gambit that could backfire if read as a sympathy ploy, but the segment stays inside what the arraignment already put on the record. - Clavicular rape charges, 2026-10-22

Reads the LAPD statement and adds a David anecdote
Reads the LAPD's statement that the case remains open and quotes retired detective Tom Lang on evidence over supposition, then adds Larry David's biography claim that he saw Simpson at the Riviera Country Club the morning of the killings. Mostly reaction and a side anecdote inside the week's coverage. - O.J. accomplice claims, 2026-10-21
Adds the Fat Joe airport and private jet claim
Adds the Fat Joe podcast claim that Ippolito, as 'Joe Bentley,' waited at an airport with a private jet for Simpson and Cowlings, and ties the book's 'Charlie' to Charlie Ehrlich, who says Simpson told him he would use his name. - O.J. accomplice claims, 2026-10-21
Walks through the Times' follow-on findings

Opens with the Times report and unsealed documents

Walks through the film's reveals: Holmes and Evans are starting a new healthcare venture she calls inventing from a cage, the title comes from her text to Fielder, and her appeal arguments surface on camera. Weber notes the appeal has reportedly been denied. - You Can See Everything, 2026-10-19
Walks through the garage scene denial
Walks through the film's garage scene: Holmes says she never lied and stands by the blood device, then fails the Who's on First test. Weber reads it as a retelling of the documentary's central denial, not new reporting. - You Can See Everything, 2026-10-19
Walks through the film's two-part structure
Walks through the film's two-part structure: the Del Mar rental with Evans and the children in the 34 days before surrender to FPC Bryan, then a jump of about two years to Holmes in prison. Adds the surrender facility and the press-packet line from Fielder. - You Can See Everything, 2026-10-19
Recaps the Theranos backstory before the film
Recaps the Theranos backstory ahead of the documentary: the finger-stick claim, the 2015 Wall Street Journal expose, the 2018 SEC charges, the indictment, the four-month trial and the split verdict. It stays inside the established record, adding only the sentencing figure of 11 years.
