The first episode of season 1 is titled "Minivan Mom Bank Robber". This episode tells the story of a stay-at-home mother named Abby who lives in a small town in Ohio with her family. Abby is a typical soccer mom. She drives a minivan, brings her children to school, and volunteers at the PTA. However, as it turns out, Abby is involved in a secret life of crime.

Abby's troubles begin when her husband, Mark, loses his job. The family is unable to pay their bills, and Abby becomes anxious about their future. It is at this point that Abby devises a plan to rob a bank. With no prior criminal history, Abby makes a bold move and decides to rob the local bank. To prepare for the heist, she purchases a fake gun and draws a map of the bank's location. Her plan is to rob the bank while the kids are in school, so that she can be home before they return.

As Abby plans the robbery, she is completely unaware that the bank she has chosen has been robbed before. In fact, it was robbed just a few weeks before Abby begins her plans. The FBI is tracking down the bank's robbers and they are running out of leads. In desperation, the FBI releases security footage of the bank robbers to the media, which goes viral.

The media coverage of the bank robbery terrifies Abby, and she almost backs out of her plan. However, she decides to go through with it, and the robbery is successful. Abby walks away with over $4,000. She is incredibly proud of her accomplishment, and it gives her the confidence to rob another bank.

After robbing a second bank, things begin to unravel for Abby. She makes a careless mistake and is caught on camera. The FBI recognizes her from the earlier footage and is able to track her down quickly. When they arrest Abby, she is shocked and terrified.

As the FBI interviews Abby, she breaks down and confesses everything. Abby admits that she was motivated by her family's financial struggles and that she felt that robbing banks was the only way she could save her family. Abby is convicted of bank robbery and sentenced to seven years in prison.
