Jeez the synopsis of Side Dish is a spoiler fest, that sounds like the whole story right there.  Something along these lines would have sufficed to keep the suspense: "When a group of four married friends go on holiday, one of the women invites her Ben 10 over which leads to a series of dark events unfolding"
Now its already been revealed that this is another accidental murder cover up among friends story, no suspense.

Any word on Mina Nawe?
