The episode opens with an update on the Idaho shooting from Monday—three victims are now identified: 23-year-old Ashley Garabay, an In-N-Out employee who hoped to manage a location; 66-year-old Dale Schultz, killed while charging his Tesla with his wife, who survived with serious injuries after 46 years of marriage; and 59-year-old Christopher Klunch, a recovery center worker who had waited weeks for the Idaho In-N-Out's lines to die down.
