Blurb on why I chose to recap The Vow.
HBO’s The Vow Intro
The Vow: Ep. 1 “The Science of Happiness”
We are introduced to NXIVM/ESP. Sarah, Mark and Bonnie tell us what pulled them, as well as others, in.
The Vow: Ep. 2 “Viscera”
Bonnie wants out of Nxivm, but can she convince her husband Mark to leave too? Sarah reveals a secret to Mark.
The Vow: Ep. 3 “At Cause”
Sarah is starting to wake up. We meet Lauren, daughter of the co-head of Nxivm, who is only partially living in the same reality as the rest of us. We also meet Nippy, Sarah's husband.
The Vow: Ep. 4 “Building Character”
We meet Catherine Oxenberg, whose daughter India is in DOS. We meet "Jane Doe" who shares her story of being in the secret group.
The Vow: Ep. 5 “Class 1 Data”
Catherine and company go to the New York Times to expose Nxivm and hopefully get the attention of the authorities. We also learn the countermeasures Nxivm and the wretched Bronfman sisters attempted to repair Keith’s shitty reputation.
The Vow: Ep. 6 Honesty & Disclosure
The NYT article is published. We get to know Barbara Bouchey, ex-girlfriend of Keith and Catherine works with Rick Ross.
The Vow: Ep. 7 “Blame & Responsibility”
The gang and Catherine gather evidence. Catherine meets Frank Parlato in person. He helps her with evidence gathering too. Frank introduces us to Toni Natalie, ex-girlfriend of Keith.
The Vow: Ep. 8 “The Wound”
Misogynist thy name is Keith Raniere! Keith really lets his woman hating flag fly. It's a trip.
The Vow: Ep. 9 “The Fall”
Keith discusses evil, because it's a subject of which he is very familiar. Catherine Oxenberg brings his ass down so Keith runs to Mexico. It's too late though because the party is over for Nxivm.
The Vow: Where are they now?
Where is everybody now? I give updates as I get them.
