Hunting Wives Episode 3 Recap: Guns, Grooming, and a Very Bad Morning After

Episode 3 of Hunting Wives is the kind of episode that feels like a mid-season finale—messy, dark, and packed with moments that make you yell at the screen. We get a shocking time jump, a shooting, escalating power plays, and an ending that completely reframes Sophie’s role in this story.

Melissa and I break it all down—from Margot’s manipulation tactics to Jill’s deeply unsettling relationship with her son, and the growing sense that everyone is lying.⏱️ Episode Timestamps
