• We introduce the story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka (Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Virgo Rising and Taurus Sun, Aries Moon, Capricorn rising, respectively), also known as the 'Ken and Barbie Killers'.
• We discuss the crazy chemistry between Karla and Paul, two Aries moons, was evident from the start. Karla kept a 'self improvement list’ of Paul's critiques and they would exchange love notes referencing their perverted fantasies and eventually their sadistic actions.
• We go into the disturbing murders of Karla’s younger sister Tammy, at a Christmas party in December 1990, and Leslie Mahaffy, who they kidnapped and tortured in June 1991. They also attempted to kidnap a girl, but she survived and was released. In April 1992, they abducted 15-year-old Kirsten French and raped and tortured her for three days before killing her.
• In December 1992, Paul turned his savage attention to Karla, beating her with a flashlight and leaving her with bruises, a broken rib, and two black eyes. Karla filed charges against Paul leading to his final arrest. In June, Karla was tried and accepted a twelve year prison term for manslaughter, in exchange for her cooperation testifying against Paul, who received life without parole.
