One of their neighbours asks him why he is so indifferent at Melinda’s rebellious and careless behaviour. He thinks they are just friends, nothing more. They are not his concerns.
Joel appreciates Vic for being cool about his wife’s freedom. Vic tells him about Martin McRae whom he killed for seeing his wife. Joel gets scared and leaves. Melinda understands something happened between Joel and Vic. Joel might be dumb but he makes her enjoy who she is, that turns her on. Vic gets upset about the fact she gets turned on by someone except him.
Everyone of the neighbours gets to know about the fact that Vic killed Martin. But they know Vic very well so they take it as a joke. Melinda gets to know about that as well, she invites him for dinner to make him say sorry to Joel. At the dinner table, Vic insults Melinda and Melinda takes revenge by acting close with Joel. Later, Vic makes him leave.
Next day, here comes Don who is a writer and knows Vic Van Allen as the killer of Martin McRae. But everyone clears it up as a joke. Vic gets triggered and later dances with his wife. Melinda envies the fact that he dances with Kelly. Next day, while Vic and Melinda are watching Trixie play football, he gets a call from the bank to refund some money which was drawn to Charles De Lisle. Vic finds Melinda roaming around with Charles like she is an unmarried person.
One evening, they get an invitation to a party and Melinda announces Charlie is gonna sing a song for the party. Charlie plays fast chord music that blows up everyone with joy but that rhythm is exploding the heart of Vic because he doesn’t like the way Melinda is celebrating. Melinda introduces Charlie with Vic. Vic holds a forced smile on his face to greet him. Charlie understands he is cold about the matter that he is being with his wife.
Vic looks for his wife and notices them coming out from a room wearing a bikini. Vic sits being upset near the swimming pool watching his wife doing aquatic sports with Charlie. She acts like she wants to provoke him to do something stupid out of anger and Vic gets triggered. When it starts raining, everyone gets inside the house. He waits for Charlie like a fox waits for a hen.
A loud music is playing in the room, girls are making cookies. Men are trying cigars. Vic joins and celebrates quietly. Meanwhile, Melinda notices Charlie’s dead body pops up in the water. They lift his body to the ground and do CPR. The Police come over and look into the matter. Melinda accuses Vic as a murderer in front of the police. While the interrogation is going on, he is asked if his wife was sleeping with Charlie. Vic denies questioning her like that because he doesn’t feel the need to dictate her choices. The police leave without suspecting anyone.
Don is trying to figure out what is going on with Vic. If he really is involved with killing then how come they are gonna prove it. Don comes over to their house for dinner, he sees his snail farm and has confessed he has no problem attending a lie director test. Next day, Vic sees a car parking where there is a telephoto camera. He enters the restaurant and finds Melinda and a man talking over something. Don hired him to privately investigate him. Melinda wired that money to him.
Vic finds another man with Melinda. They seem pretty close to each other and that makes Vic think about breaking his neck. In the house, Vic notices her usual behavior, not worrying about family, just being slutty all the time. Next day, Tony comes over to her place to meet Vic. Vic shows his amazing snails who have made the room like a science lab. Vic and Tony are having a nice chit chat. He is talking about his projects about making a sustainable planet.
In the middle of the chat, suddenly she mentions he was the first American she fucked. Tony is surprised and tries to make the situation light by laughing it out. But he has already been listed in Vic’s garbage list.

Don comes to check on him with that scarf and asks him about his concerns. At that moment, Tony’s hand pops up. Don gets bewildered and gets his ass in his car hurriedly. He drives fast to reach his wife but gets chased by Vic and at some point Vic comes before him. To save him he takes a U-turn and falls into the water with his car. Meanwhile, Melinda is about to leave him but Trixie drowns the bag into the pool and doesn’t want to leave.

Memorable quotes and dialogues:
‘If you think I killed Charlie. Aren’t you frightened of me?
→ No, cause I am the thing you killed for.’
I am so amused by this statement. She knows he can do everything to keep her and will never divorce her. Anyone who comes between them will be killed. That’s why she is not afraid to stay even with a killer.
‘I don’t think that talking about people behind their backs is right.’
They were talking about something which would convey a negative impression about him. Then it will be slandering. Slandering is a sin from a religious perspective or you can say it is rudeness.
‘You’re drunk. You have no idea how unattractive it is.’
Being drunk is always considered bad behavior. Some people think it’s cool to be a drunk person. When you are drunk, you can’t talk rationally. It emits negativity and reveals a face of yours that you don’t wanna show.
Snail Quotes:
‘For eating snails, you have to starve them. Before you eat them, you have to make sure their intestines are empty. Otherwise, you will poison yourself and die.’
It is essential to purify snails before eating them otherwise the dirt, faecal matter, poisonous plants which they eat for living can make human health fall into a great risk.
‘A snail will climb a 12 foot wall to find his mate’
Vic is a very humble and generous family man but if anyone tries to break his family he will go that far where you can’t come back from just like a snail.
Why did Vic allow Melinda to get involved in affairs while killing all her lovers?
Vic shows everyone he is the most generous when the topic comes to the husband thing. He always prefers her choice over everything but inside he is an egoistic, jealous, vengeful person. He allows his wife to get along with whoever she wants to avoid divorce. As long as she can’t prove his guilt, she can’t divorce him.
Last I can remember,
‘I would find you in any lifetime’
‘The love we give away is the only love we keep’
