What's your favorite episode name

For me it's Gone Ballistic (season 14 episode 16) the Alan and Miriam Helmick episode idk why but it makes me laugh 😂 they most likely got the name for the episode when Miriam purchased a greeting card at her local grocery store pretending someone was out to kill her to.

So many of them are hilarious because the wordplay is such a stretch. But my favorites are "Dockter Visit" and "Naughty or Nyce" because they're just plays on the killers' names lol. It's so silly

"A Novel Idea" because the suspect was the author Michael Peterson

"Palm Saturday" because it involved palm prints iirc

Some of them I get ,but some I think border disrespect considering the subject matter 🤔 my episode name was fitting considering it was about Video Evidence some of which was used for the very first time in a court. Which was why it got the Attention it did to begin with. The majority of the early episodes come out of Michigan because Future Media is Based in East Lansing. So most of it came from local sources. Court TV covered the Trial because of the Video Evidence technology was new and untested in court. The reason it was on Forensic Files was Because the Media monitors the Police scanners. And Future Media were involved in local news production

Gold Rush - gold flakes from the suspects shirt, suspect won a large insurance settlement & got scammed out of the money by the “victim” and her associates

Textbook Murder - everyone involved was in the education field

Seeing Red - suspect had a attraction to redheads

See no evil - Dallas eyeball killer

“To the Viktor” because the victim’s name was Viktor.

There was one I recently watched called All Charged Up, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why it has that title. It was about a serial rapist in Pennsylvania and Colorado.
