The noose tightens around Amanda in the third episode of “Scamanda,” titled “Stage 3: The Wheels of Justice.” The IRS intensifies its scrutiny of Amanda’s claims, meticulously tracing the money that flowed through her website. Simultaneously, Detective Martinez keeps digging, and Amanda’s medical files become a target, subpoenaed as part of the growing investigation.
Based on the popular podcast of the same name, “Scamanda” chronicles the downfall of a wife, mother, blogger, and devout Christian whose carefully constructed online persona begins to crumble under the weight of her own words. The series raises questions about truth, deception, and the consequences of living a curated life in the digital age.
As the authorities close in, the episode may reveal cracks in Amanda’s carefully constructed narrative. The subpoena of her medical files may prove to be a pivotal moment in the investigation, potentially uncovering evidence that contradicts her claims.
“Scamanda” airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.
