Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

Uh-huh.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

That's the one.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

Oh, that's so sad.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

It's just a total jog on.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

You both did the same gasp at the same time.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

But this started a second wave of really scary symptoms.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

Oh, no.

Morbid
Episode Revisit: The Radium Girls

Now that these girls are saying, well, I want to start a family.
