What to Expect in Dead to Me Season 3

The consequences of the crash

Ben, probably on his way to identify the body of his deceased brother Steve, collided with the car in which Jen and Judy were at the intersection. The troubled alcoholic had been drinking whiskey and walked through a stop sign.

It’s unclear if Ben even realized that it was Jen and Judy that he hit, and whether or not the couple had a glimpse of Ben before he walked away.

This will weigh heavily on Ben, who is likely to turn to another bottle, especially if he thought he had killed the one in the car, let alone being on his way to identify the body of his deceased brother.

Jen and Judy are conscious, but it is not known what injuries the couple may have suffered. If the duo learns that Ben was the one driving, we can expect an embarrassing confrontation between them.

Charlie finds Judy’s letter

After searching for grass in Judy’s room, Charlie finds the letter that his mother, Jen, had written for Judy.

It is not revealed whether Charlie actually read the letter, but if he did, then he will have learned of Judy’s involvement in her father’s hit-and-run death. Not to mention his mother’s guilt for killing Steve.

With such evidence, this would make him innocent as he is still suspect in Steve’s disappearance.

Charlie was extremely rebellious, so he could either end up blackmailing Judy and Jen, or make their lives hell because of his father’s death.

Will Jen be caught?

Jen was ready to face the consequences of Steve’s murder and had confessed to Detective Perez. But after the couple was unable to find the body and had a heart-to-heart, Perez left her free.

Nick, who has been hot on the case, received a bag of evidence from Judy to incriminate Steve and Steve’s father. She hoped That Nick could use the evidence to protect Jen, but after she realized that Jen hadn’t confessed officially yet, she had to go back.

Charlie has the letter, Jen confessed to Perez, and Steve’s body has been found, there are many web threads that could lead back to Jen’s arrest.
