In Part Two, the gals get into the cases of a couple of real-life Angels of Death: nurse “Jolly Jane” Toppan and Nazi monster Josef Mengele, plus a few “doc-tators,” including one former ophthalmologist who turned out to be a big fan of chemical weapons. This episode is paired with Whispering Angel Rosé, so grab a bottle and try not to drink the entire liter in one sitting. (Or do, we don’t judge.)
