In Court, They Lost More Than the Case

In the Graham household, a wife and mother named Wanda Collins rules with open cruelty. Her husband Bruce Graham and their son Sean Graham do every chore before she comes home, yet she pours boiling water on Sean's face and drives both of them out into 104°F heat. When Bruce begs her to open the door, she only watches television and snacks.

Bruce finally brings her before the Bad Mom Court, where memories are extracted as evidence. Neighbors testify that Sally Sullivan once dragged Wanda from a wrecked car, and that Wanda forbade her family to thank her. The court sets its terms: if the plaintiffs win, Wanda is sentenced to death, her family ties dissolve, and Sally may marry into the Graham family; if she wins, all the Graham assets pass to her. Sally urges Bruce and Sean to drop the case, but Wanda refuses to apologize and tells them to proceed.

As the memory extractor links the witnesses' minds, the courtroom watches Wanda's treatment of her family unfold on screen.
