Episode one picks up immediately where season two left off: with Jen and Judy involved in another hit-and-run car accident. They make their way to the hospital where it's then revealed that Judy's (Linda Cardellini) scan showed some "shadows," meaning there is a chance she could have cancer.
The emotional moment sparked reaction online. One person wrote: "Judy didn't deserve any bad thing that happened to her #DeadToMe." Another said: "[JEN IS] PRAYING FOR JUDY MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS #DeadToMe."

A third didn't want to believe the sad storyline as they tweeted: "Judy has what now? Yeah, no, we're not doing this, sweets. It's either a mistake or it will be a straight shoot to a cure. #DeadToMe."
The synopsis for the third season reads: "In the aftermath of yet another hit and run, both women receive shocking news, and are ready to risk their lives for a friendship that's above the law."

The filming for season three came at the same time that lead actress Christina Applegate was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She told Variety: "I'm not going to say that any of it was easy. I started having symptoms in January 2021 — very small, something you could just brush off.
"Right before we started shooting, it was as if I got hit by a truck and didn't know what was going on. It was very scary for me, because this body that I had known was no longer mine. There is no processing the fact that you have a lifelong degenerative disease. Maybe other people could have gone into acceptance. I'm just a year in, so I'm still in that mourning process."
