Hi,
I just finished watching tonight's episode and was struck by a remarkable similarity to a real-life story that happened a few months ago. I remember a little while back in the news there was a story about a grown man posing as a junior high or high school student, who got caught when the school nurse noticed that he was wearing make-up. I believe that this man was also in or around age 30, but he was a convicted child molester who had convinced another criminal to pretend to be his grandfather to enroll him in school using fake ID documents. Anyway, I just noticed this similarity immediately, and wondered if anyone else recalled the story and had the same thought.
Full Version: Tonight's Episode (aug. 24) Based On Real Life Incident?

Oh, Lord. If you point that out (and I do remember the story kinda-sorta) they'll start putting those things on at the beginning like Law & Order has.
