I'm here for mom.
You're gonna take care of her.

Not by myself, I'm not.

I'm going to finally be a full
partner in this marriage, Margene,

and I expect my voice
to be heard.

You said you
had the money.

Tell him
if he doesn't pay up now,

he'll have to
pay us double later.

I've got him
where I want him.

Albert grant spoke
about abolishing you too.

Abolishing me?

Said you may not
be around much longer.



Why won't you talk to me?

I'm falling in love with you.

The church rarely goes out
on a limb like this.

They're retaliating
because we didn't give in.

It gives every zealot
in salt lake city

the license
to stab you in the back,

and I'm talking literally.

I didn't tell you that I was
seeing someone at B.Y.U.

I thought we were okay.

I'm really sorry, Ben.

I'm asking why you didn't
take sacrament in church today.

I am experimenting with
my actions and my thoughts

and I can't have you
judging me for it.

For the first time
in our marriage,



I'm worried...
About us.

- Tag, you're it.
- No, I'm not.

I wasn't ready.

- Tag-back.
- Oh, that's not fair.

Boys, pick those up.

Ben, grab a piece of that
molasses pie and take it to Dean.

Dean? We're on
a first-name basis

with a man who sits in a
car and guards our house.

And while you're at it,
wake him up.

How was church?

Good.
Good turnout.

There was the first
baby blessing.

I love the principle.
I was an only child,

and I love that my children
get to grow up

with so many
brothers and sisters

and all of the love and support
of one mother

and another mother
and another mother.

I don't see any children at your
so-called children's rally.

I see you.

Nicki, I don't choose
what the news people show.

They show what they
want to show.

Those banners and t-shirts
turned it into

one big advertisement
for your sour juice company.

It's called getting a sponsor, Nicki.
It happens all the time.

I was tacky. And don't think
Bill's not plenty upset over it.

- Hello, Bill.
- I gotta run to the store.

There's a new wave of
protestors swarming the lot.

That statement from the church
really shook up the hive.

Hon, by the way, your front
curtains were open last night.

I want them kept closed
till all this passes.

- What's this?
- Marriage license.

I put stickies
where you need to sign.

We're good for wednesday.
Justice of the peace will perform the ceremony.

Lee's all set with
the adoption papers.

Do I sign it
as grant or Henrickson?

You can sign as either one, sweetheart.
It's your choice.

But Barb would still be...

she remains Barb Henrickson
unless she decides to change it.

There can be
two Mrs. Henricksons.

I'm already living with three.

Bill, I know it's just
a paper wedding

and we're not making
a big fuss about it,

but I thought maybe
I could get a new dress

for the ceremony,

nothing too expensive.

All right,

but we need to be sensitive
to everyone.

The ink on the divorce
is still fresh.

I don't want anyone to think
we're rubbing their nose in it.

You mean Barb.

Of course.
I understand, I do.

How are things between you two?

I mean you say everything's all
right, but we've got eyes, Bill.

I know that.

I just finalized a divorce
with a woman I love,

and we're moving forward
slowly and carefully.

People at church were
asking questions today...

"where's Barb?"
It's embarrassing, Bill.

We're there and she's at
home clipping coupons?

What's gonna happen if you
two don't work things out?

I'll be sure to let you know
if and when that happens.

Compromise on something,
for crying out loud.

What are you
doing in there?

I like the way that you smell.

Eh, my dad uses brut...

sort of a family thing.

I got this before my mission.

It's old

like me.

Not too old.

Where did you go
on your mission?

What was that?

Estonian.

I said, "I love the sound
of your voice."

I told Nicki that I had a
study group at the library.

We should stick
to the ground rules...

actual study days only.

The ground rules suck...

stink. Sorry.

I want to see you more.

What if I went to that show
with you tomorrow?

- You mean "les mis"?
- Yeah.

With me and my mom?
Uh, not a good idea.

No, I know that,

but what if I brought someone?

Like who?

Of course you should
have a new dress.

In fact, I would like that wedding
dress to be my gift to you...

your "something new."

Really?
Thanks, Barb.

I want you to use
my personal credit card.

It has a limit of $750.

Oh, I hate this stupid thing.

Mine fell out at the checkout
at Albertsons,

and the bagger
almost wet her pants.

Here.

This is so generous, Barb.

This means a great deal to me.

What if we did a reception?

It's three days
away, Nicki.

A reception requires
months of planning and...

and besides, I don't want
the street gummed up

with hummers
and dusty pickup trucks

or for word to get out

and be accused
of manipulating marriage

like a game
of three-card monte.

Just a few guests,
nothing huge.

So you'd invite
all your closest friends?

Some of us don't need
mass approval.

Help me peel the tatoes.

- Have you asked Bill?
- I wanted to ask you first.

Bill wants us
to respect your feelings.

Of course I want
to respect them too...

the stigma that divorce
carries in the state,

the distance you and Bill
must be feeling.

I think Barb wants us to peel potatoes.
Focus on that.

What did Bill
say to you exactly?

Your relationship with Bill
is private.

So is mine.

But he is deeply concerned about
the ability of the family

to move forward, if that's
what you're asking.

And if he asks what you said,
I would assume

I could I tell him
you share the same concern.

Of course I do.

Honey, tell me
you didn't walk home.

- You know the rules.
- It's only six blocks.

Six blocks of opportunity
for some crazy l.D.S. Nut

to make good on that fatwa
against us.

Your mother's right, sweetheart.
You should have called.

Okay, well, I will next time.
Promise.

You can call me.

How's Gary?

I was studying.

Is my new blue suit upstairs?

I thought it was at Nicki's,
but I can't find it.

It's for a meeting
in the morning.

I don't know. I'll go check.

- Oh, it's fine. I can.
- Is everything okay?

It's just the landlord
about the store lease.

Did you speak to Marge

about her shilling Goji
at the rally?

No, not yet.
She's still so proud of the event,

I don't want to criticize
her if I don't have to.

But I'll ask Stuart to check
out Goji and Michael Sainte.

He's gonna do some
poking around.

Did Nicki talk to you?

Yes.
I guess it's fine

as long as we keep it
small, right?

The dress?

No, the reception.

There's a reception now?

In this environment?
How many people?

Just family and a few friends.

It's like when you and I
got sealed.

I... I think we need
to make it happen.

You're really okay with this?

Bill, wherever you and I stand,

Nicki deserves a special day.

I guess a reception's fine.

This is Adaleen grant.
Leave a message.

Mama, call me.

I have some very special news.

Don't make me worry
about your safety

more than I already do.

And call me
and at least let me know

he hasn't thrown you
in that hole again.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

No. Who knows?

I've called four times
and haven't gotten through.

Do you need something?

Maybe tomorrow isn't
the best time,

but Mr. Ivey and his mom have
two extra tickets to something.

To what?

A play.

What kind of play?

It's a comedy with music
downtown.

But what is it about?

It's about poor people fighting
the government in France.

And there's singing?

Mom, it's a musical.

And Mr. Ivey is being
very generous,

and I've never been
to a show like this.

But did he ask me to come?

Yeah.

Then we'll go.
I'd love to.

There is no meeting, Bill.
Alby bought the building.

The fax came in this morning.
He's our new landlord.

The a.C. Breaks down... we call Alby.
Water damage... we go to Alby.

We get a gas leak... we'll be a smoldering
heap before he gets a guy up here.

And we stood 3'
from that smirking rat

while his lawyers were probably
already closing the deal.

We're sorry.
The number you have called

is not in service
at this time.

What's going on?
No one at U.E.B. answers

or I keep getting busy signals.

Bill, he has the assets
of the U.E.B.

He has access
to $300 million.

He'll chase us all over
the wasatch front.

We go to the U.E.B.
It meets tomorrow.

Alby's misappropriating funds.

You're fighting
on the wrong battlefield.

You can't appeal
to the U.E.B.

These are the men
who blindly followed Roman,

who blindly follow Alby.
They're lemmings.

- But he is clearly insane.
- Face reality, Bill.

There's a church-inspired
boycott.

Thousands of devout mormons are shunning
our stores like a leper colony.

We need to cash out
while we still can.

I'm not cashing out.

We are not retreating
an inch, don.

The U.E.B. Has
the power to stop him,

so we go to the U.E.B.

We're sorry.
The number you have called

is not in service
at this time.

Every one of these
little circles...

They just give
you two wet naps.

What am I gonna do
with two wet naps?

...Weeks, months, years.

And eventually
it ends up on my show.

Now the u.K. Spends
around $240 million a year

cleaning the gunk
from the streets.

It doesn't disappear
by itself.

It could take
up to five years...

Lois.

Lois.

Call an ambulance.

You gotta call
an ambulance.

I can't get up.

Lois.

Lois!

A water-soluble...

Lois!

In the United States
it was developed...

How's it going so far?

Oh, just a second.

First impressions?

Marge, it's white.

It's white.

Do you need a hand?

Do I look all right?

Say something.

Wow.

Really?

Wow, that's the one.

Isn't mama Nicki beautiful?

Barb has to see this.
Don't change.

So how's it down
in cougar town?

I love B.Y.U.

I solved that thing
with my dormmate.

She puts it on every day now.
Smells a lot better.

Good. Well,
you did her a favor.

No one wants to date
a smelly flower.

How's your missionary doing?

That's actually what I wanted
to talk to you about, bishop.

I don't know what to do,

and I've already
prayed about it.

I just...

I really like him,

and we write, like,
twice a week.

But you've met another boy.

I never expected to get serious

about this boy or his family.

Heather, this is
a common dilemma

for young women to face

when their missionaries
are away... staying true.

They're polygamists.

Sister Tuttle,

you and I both know
what you believe,

what our church believes
about polygamy.

His parents are polygamists,

but he's still trying
to figure out what he is.

And I want to help him.

But something happened.

I overheard it,

and there's no one

for me to talk to about it,
not even him.

They're a good family, bishop.

They don't deserve
to be singled out

or shunned by the entire city.

Perhaps you'd feel better
if you unburdened yourself.

She's been so good since
you've started coming by.

I think she knows there's
a man in the house again.

Aren't you freezing?

I can bring some
bigger blankets.

You're really nice to me, Ben.

Who lives here with you?

Crystal

and her friend Jeff.

You need some adult food.

It's not that bad.

The carrots are good.

You need food.
Where's your husband?

He should be
taking care of you.

He is.

He'll be back soon.

And when we have
our house in Henderson

he's going to build me a recording
studio in the basement.

He's going to be my manager.

Bill just called. He's a block away.
What's going on?

- We lost home plus.
- What do you mean?

- They bought the building, not the store.
- Who did? The church?

No, Alby.
Alby owns home plus now.

- He owns the property.
- Oh, Barb, what's the difference?

- Wait, both stores?
- I don't know.

This is crazy.
We can't lose home plus.

Home plus is Bill.
Bill is home plus.

- Home plus is us.

Bill, I've been trying to
call anyone on juniper creek

and just get
disconnected numbers.

Are you closing the stores?

We should burn it down, collect
the insurance and give him ashes.

We're not committing arson.
Can you at least get through to your mother?

No, I tried her.
Evie said the place is on lockdown.

All right, he's finally
made his move

and overplayed his hand.
There are ways to beat him.

Well, like what?
What can you do?

I'm going down there to see.
But it's just one store.

So if we have to move
every nail and screw

by wheelbarrow into
another building

and leave him holding
the mortgage

on an empty warehouse...
fine by me.

I want to talk about something
else much more important.

I want to talk about us.

We're having a wedding
this week

and, well,
I want it to be

more than just a swapping of
signatures on a piece of paper.

Ceremonies are important
for the lift of a family,

and this wedding
gives us the opportunity

to recommit to our
eternal marriage.

Okay, what are you proposing?

A resealing...
all of us...

at the wedding, a recommitment,

a reminder that despite
our differences,

we can come together to
reaffirm our unbreakable Bonds.

Sorry, no way.

Nicki, I understand
you want a special day,

but we need to think
of everyone.

All I do is think of everyone.

Barb had a special day all to herself.
I want one too.

A resealing isn't going to make
your day any less special.

In fact it's gonna
make it more special.

Oh, baloney.

Fine.

So we won't do it
at the wedding.

We'll do the wedding
Wednesday

and the resealing
this weekend.

I vote yes.

I mean if it'll bring us
together... yes, absolutely.

Barb?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

I mean I just don't know
if I can go through

with a resealing on
Wednesday or this weekend.

I thought this was a way
to validate our oneness

without asking anyone
to compromise their beliefs.

I appreciate that, I do,

but I don't think
I can just get resealed

until we work out
our issues, Bill.

And this doesn't have
to be a big deal.

It really doesn't.

I'm gonna go salt
the back patio.

I thought you'd want it.

I want it.

We need to find a new footing.

Bill, you and I
are already sealed.

No matter what the church
or my mother says,

I believe in that sealing.

We're dangling
over an abyss, Barb.

I've been working on a way

for me to participate
in the wedding.

There's something called
the universal life church.

- The universal what?
- Just listen.

It's... it's...
it's online.

It's nondenominational.

Click a few boxes, wait five
to seven business days,

and they send you a certificate...
you're a minister.

So I thought I'd officiate
the wedding.

You're joking.

Tell me you're joking.

We don't want any of this
public, right?

I officiate... we do the
wedding at Nicki's house.

Or we do
the county clerk's office...

some nosy secretary
recognizes us,

makes a call to channel 6.

I just hung a plaque
outside a church

I worked hard
to build and protect.

- I know.
- No, you don't know.

A church means something.
It stands for something.

This may be a pap wedding,

but you don't just go
join a paper church.

Why would you do this anyway?

It wouldn't change one thing

about our disagreement
over the priesthood.

It's not about that.

It's a statement
of my investment

in this marriage
and this family.

This is about me being there

with you and Nicki
on a very special day.

You and I obviously
have different views

on what would make it
a special day.

Thanks for all
the groceries, Ben.

This must be at least
$100 worth of food.

Did you bring a can opener?

You don't have a can opener?

Don't worry.
I'll grab one from work.

Lottie eats a lot of tuna.

I don't think you should
work at that place, Rhonda.

I think you can do
a lot better.

I'm a good singer
and I'm a good dancer.

And I know it.
And I like doing it.

But it's not a nice place.
It's really skeezy.

What kind of future is that?

Look, I only work places
with a 3' rule.

I don't let men touch me,

if that's what
you're worried about.

I'm not a tramp.

And no one takes
advantage of me.

Rhonda, we can't do
what we did again.

I can still come by.

I can still bring you things,

but as a friend.

Are you okay with that?

Thanks for helping me.

You're welcome.

This is so exciting...

a musical with an intermission.

You look nice, mama.

Your teacher certainly
has a crush.

What do you mean?

I'm not blind.

I see the way he glances at me

when I pick you up.

Maybe I should invite him
to the wedding.

His head would
probably explode.

I'm so sorry.
Was parking a nightmare?

No, we found a spot

two blocks down
at the sinclair station.

This is for you.

Thank you.

You made it.

Mama, this is
Mr. Ivey's mom.

- Call me Denise.
- Nicolette.

Nicolette, so nice to meet you.

And, Cara Lynn, you look
so pretty tonight.

I'm sorry to rush everyone.

We should find our seats, so...

Aren't you gonna
take our coats?

Of course.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Nicolette.

Oh, and thank you

for recommending Cara Lynn
for the summer math camp.

You know, we're having
a get-together at our house

this Wednesday...
friends and family.

You should come.

Bring a date or your mother.

Or a date.

Love you too, mom.

Uh, I'll see you inside.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Enjoy the show.

Michael Sainte did a concert
in Saint Petersburg.

Russia.

We're crossing borders.

If ever a place needed

entrepreneurship
for the common man...

I have DVDs to pass around.

He sings
"don't cry for me, Argentina"

to over 30,000 people
in red square.

Pam.

All right, let's go around and
report our numbers for the week.

And don't feel bad
if they're low.

Everyone has slumps.
Let's start with you, Beth.

I moved 24 units and increased
my downline by three.

Excellent.

Minnie?

32 units
and an increase of five.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Carl, hi.
What's going on?

We're almost done here.

Pam, we talked about this.

Carl, please.

We're leaving now.

Pam?

I'll talk to you later, Margie.

He can't make you go.

Kindly stay out
of our business.

She can make her own
choices, Carl.

Not when her choices
involve putting us

thousands of dollars in the
hole hoodwinking other idiots.

Well, maybe if you didn't
boss her around so much...

- Marge.
- She's quitting right now.

No, she's not.
You put too much pressure on her.

She is a loving,
sweet, capable woman.

- Butt out, Marge.
- No, Carl, you butt out. Just butt out.

She's right.
I am capable.

And you can't even find a job.
Go find a job, Carl.

If Barb officiates,
we can keep the wedding

in the family...
no justice of the peace.

Why didn't she
come to me first?

This sensitivity thing
isn't a one-way street.

Might be a nice gesture
if we let her.

Because it's the safe
thing to do

or because it's
the nice thing to do

for Barb

on our wedding day?

I've got the satellite dish.

Throw it in.

Throw it in.

Something bad is happening.

He invested
U.E.B. assets...

the tithes and fast offerings
of all of your families...

into a vengeance scheme
against me and my own.

He's put his own
selfish interests

ahead of what's best
for juniper creek.

You think you know what's
best for juniper creek?

You've lured away
nine of our sisters

and 14 of our
precious children

to a den of winos
and crack whores.

It's a shelter
for the abused,

clearly defined at the safety
net meetings you never attend.

You and your apostate wife
have destroyed families

and led women to perdition.

We've given them access to
healthcare, counselors to speak to.

We're breaking down
the walls of isolation.

Heavenly father never meant for us
to assimilate with the gentiles.

Look at e way the world
treats you, Bill.

That's the life you want
for your family?

Lura's thriving.

Your children are
in a real school.

Get out.

He paid significantly
over market price

for the property simply
because I was the tenant.

You can still go back
on the deal.

My attorney has
the paperwork ready.

You can override
Alby's signature.

Your wife tricked
my daughter away...

away from her husband,
her kids.

I didn't know that, rod.
I sincerely hope

that they can work out
their differences.

It comforts me,
Bill Henrickson,

that you will burn in hell.

Alby's already led you there.

I saw the satellite dishes.

I saw the cell phones.

Something dark
is happening here, mama.

Your brother had
cell phones banished.

The children discovered
something called "sexting."

He's cutting you off
from the world.

Oh, the world's
a terrible place.

No tv, no phones...
the children study harder.

Everybody works harder.

The blessings will
rain down upon us.

I'm doing his office.

Why are you here anyway?

Because I'm getting married.

You're already married.

Legally married, to Bill.

And I want you to be
at the wedding, mama.

It'd mean more to me
than any gift.

State marriages
have no meaning to me.

Well, they mean
something to me.

Don't you see where
this is leading you?

I don't want to lose you.

Mama, look at me.

We're on separate paths,
Nicolette.

Hello?

Mom. Mom.

Mom, turn that down.

Dad, what the heck happened?

I busted my hip.

Leave him alone.
He'll be fine.

How long has he been
lying here?

Since yesterday morning.

I got him a pillow.

No.

No.

No no.

They'll take him away
and they won't bring him back.

And they'll put me
away somewhere.

- Bill, no.
- This is crazy.

Yes, I need an ambulance
right away.

Juniper creek.

I'm sorry.

Here.

Here we go.
Here we go.

But I'll stay by your side

no matter what.
No matter what.

Yes, hello.
Yes, juniper creek.

Hi.

Hi.

I prayed
and I thought about it.

I want to be your girlfriend.

But you broke up with me.

I know.
And I shouldn't have,

but I was...
I was scared and confused.

And I care about you
too much to go away.

So here I am, not going away.

What about your missionary?

I dear-Johnned him.

It's kind of cold out here.
Can I come in?

- You want some cocoa?
- Yeah.

Come on.

- Vanaema's kook.
- What?

Vanaema's kook...
grandmother's cake.

The jam goes on the crust and then
you crumble some of that on top.

It's usually served with
Estonian whipped cream.

I bought cool whip instead.

Get to work.

How'd your mom like the show?

She loved it.
She thinks you're very cultured.

So do I.

Next time I think

we need to leave your mom
out of the middle of things.

She thinks you have
a crush on her.

Nicki's pretty sheltered.

Bill, Barb... they all are
really, but they're nice.

Oh, they're not
worldly like you?

Oh, is that it?
You think I'm naive?

No.

I will be worldly someday

with you.

Where's Bill?

What's this whole
officiant business?

Why didn't you
come to me first?

Um, hi Nicki.
Is Frank okay?

He's in surgery.

He has a femoral fracture.
They're putting a plate in.

He'll be fine.

Bill told me
you want to marry us.

You are trying to control my
wedding day, and I resent it.

I wish I didn't, Barb,
but I do.

I am sincerely not trying
to control anything.

I just want to be
a part of the ceremony.

I want to give you to Bill
and him to you.

I want to join you together,

just like Sarai
giving hagar to Abram.

You... you are
the reason we're here.

There's no one
to take care of us

because there's no sisterwives,

because you called them
and ran them all off.

Barb did the responsible thing.

She brought shame upon us.

Everyone knows
about our v.D. Now.

No one remembers me

as Orville Henrickson's
beautiful daughter.

I'll be remembered
as "v. D. Lady"!

Lois, I'm terribly sorry
you see things that way.

I'm glad my son divorced you.

- Lois!
- Mom, you apologize.

- Honey, she didn't mean it.
- Oh yes, I did.

Shame on you.
That's enough.

Well, I see
everyone's okay here.

Glad I checked in.

Have a seat.
Come on, mom.

Excuse me,
Mr. president.

There are some people
here to see you.

You see the coat, Lynn,
the briefcase in my hand?

What do these things tell you?

Senator barn,
do you have a few minutes?

Have a seat.

Thank you.

In Ethiopia
there's a phenomenon

called "green hunger."

Everything appears
to be green and lush,

but people are
actually starving.

They have absolutely
no access to food.

Right now in many parts
of the country

the crops have failed.

Hey.

What're you watching?

Africa.

How's your dad?

Still in recovery.

Honey, I hate to be
the bad guy here,

but I'm worried about you
and this Goji business.

Did Carl talk to you?

Why would Carl talk to me?

Pam tried to quit today.

Well, Carl tried to get her to quit.
He crashed our meeting.

I talked Pam into staying.
He got mad.

Pam got mad at him. I know I shouldn't
have stepped in the middle,

- but I'm really worried about them.
- You're right.

You shouldn't have stepped in the middle.
Their marriage is their business.

Carl may have gone
about it the wrong way,

but I understand his concern.

Goji blast is a money pit.

In what way?

Sweetheart, it's a pyramid.

It's multilevel marketing.

I'm part of an international
community in over 60 countries.

It's a structure that preys
on people beneath you.

I did some digging
on Michael Sainte and goji.

There's no proven benefits
to that juice whatsoever.

Goji teaches faith

and builds schools
and Bridges and clinics.

Honey, the amount of money
goji actually gives to charity

is a pittance.
It's all show.

We're given
the tools to succeed.

And we pass those tools
on to our downline.

And they pass them on
to theirs.

It's like pay it forward.

I'll be upstairs.

You should meet Michael Sainte.

I have, on the hill.

Well, then you should
give him a chance.

You understand you have to be
near the top of the pyramid

to see any big profits?
Where are you?

If you're asking
what level I'm at,

I'm still at the building level, okay?
I know that money's tight.

I'm only using what I put aside
from hearts on a sleeve.

Sweetheart,
you have more faith,

hope and charity
in your little finger

than I've got
in my entire body.

Heavenly father got all the
pieces right when he made you.

But you open yourself up
to people

who might take advantage of
that, like Michael Sainte.

I'm not telling you what to do.

I just don't want to see you

get left holding the bag.

Mom.

I thought dad was
coming to spell me.

Well, I told him I wanted to.

Thanks, Benny.

Me again.

I brought you some
chicken broccoli casserole.

Put it there.

They won't let me
see him till morning.

He's in the I.C.U.
You should rest.

Why'd you come back?

What, you think
I scare that easily?

I hate hospitals.

The doctors think
they may be able

to release him in 24 hours.

We actually found a nice place

for Frank to rehabilitate.

What do you mean, rehabilitate?

He needs some physical therapy,

help getting to the bathroom.

Lois, he needs professional
care to convalesce.

I see.

I shudder to ask...

where will I be staying?

We know you don't want
to stay with us,

and we understand.

Bill and I were gonna
talk to you

about this together.

There are a few homes

very close to where we live
and they're very nice.

It's like really having
your own apartment.

Please, Lois, take a look.

And we... we can
take you to visit Frank.

Visit? No.

It's just while he recovers.

Leave.

And the meals are made
from scratch.

Lois!

Leave!

All right, all right,
I am staying right here.

I know this is
a disappointment.

So much in life is.

The only thing
that we care about

is that you are
well taken care of.

And whether you like or not,
that's how we love you.

Step on it.
We need those finished.

This is dumb.

Sorry, I couldn't find
any yellow or purple,

- but this is mostly yellow.
- Mostly.

Hey, Cara Lynn, why don't you
take Wayne and Raymond upstairs?

- I'll finish those up.
- All right, bedtime, guys.

The wedding's tomorrow. We don't have
half the things done that we should.

I'll be up at 4:30 putting
Crescent rolls in the oven.

You'd better let Bill
get some sleep tonight.

He needs his energy tomorrow.

I've been thinking
since yesterday

when Bill proposed
the resealing,

and I think we should do it.

You and Barb are like vultures.

My wedding is not
a corpse to be picked at.

Nicki, I know you want
tomorrow to be your day.

I understand that.
I respect that.

But this is a family,
and this wedding

was supposed to be about
growing as a family.

There are 364 other days in
the year for us to grow.

I just think it'd be
a nice time for us

to all recommit to each
other no matter what.

I was only 16
when I was sealed to Bill.

And I'm gonna lie,
I had no clue

what being sealed
even meant back then.

I need a sealing that means
something to me now, you know?

I see Pam and Carl.

I don't want us to get there.

If I consider
what you're asking...

and that's just
a really big if...

then I'm telling you right now

the only name going
on that cake is mine.

I'll be right behind you.

We'll be together forever.

Oh, come on, Frank.
Come on now.

Oh, come on now.
Come on.

Just... Frank, come on.

Lois, there you are.

Lois, no!

I need a doctor!
Security! - Frank!

- All right, get her out of here.
- What are you doing, Lois?

25%? You can't raise
our rent 25%.

What do you think
this is... a game?

25% is an interesting number,
don't you think?

On top of
the church boycott too...

must be tough.

Does it incite you
to throw in the towel,

move to another
location perhaps?

These are all
interesting questions.

I suppose we'll see.

I will build a dam

against every drop of state
money flowing your way...

no more food stamps,
no more housing grants.

You and your legislations.

You have already
threatened that.

You think I'm powerless?
What would your flock do if they found out

their Shepherd had lain
with another Shepherd?

I guess the real question is,

what kind of man are you?

We've got to take him
out of the picture.

I don't want to do this, don, but
we have got to see this through.

I am not engaging
in a holy war.

This is between you and him...

a grudge between the grants
and the Henricksons,

not me.

What do you want out of life?

A chance to get it right.

A nice family.

A boat.

Strip

and stay in your corner.

Slower.

You like this, don't you?

A little.

I mean, I know that they
have the berries there.

- Yeah. - But they've
never had the juice...

I just need you for,
like, two minutes.

Margene, uh, yeah, of course.

Just... excuse me
just a minute.

Can I get you some water?

No, I have to be at a wedding.

Just tell me quick...

is this worth it?

What's on your mind, Marge?

- I got into this to help people.
- Mm-hmm.

I saw the kids in Guatemala,

the harelips, the charity,

and I wanted to do good works.

But my husband says that you
prey on people like me,

that your business
is blt on sand.

And my best friend tried to quit,
and I talked her back into it.

- And now her marriage is doomed.
- Wait, whoa whoa.

Slow down.
It's okay.

Obviously your best friend has
bigger issues in her marriage.

- That's not your fault.
- I know.

And your husband doesn't
sound terribly supportive.

No, he is.
He... he really is.

He's just concerned.
Should I be concerned?

Look, Marge,

some of our
goji-go-getters...

they just sell the juice,

build their downlines.

They never absorb
the deeper message.

We're sharing prosperity.

I believe that.

You get that, Marge.

You got that from day one.

As far as your husband goes,

you tell him that I have won
three humanitarian awards

for my missionary work
in Africa.

I've been vetted by
"the Harvard business review,"

"the wall street journal."

I've rung the closing bell
at the stock exchange.

You're on the right team.

I was worried.

I was shy.

I was an only child.
I was a bit in over my head.

Barb reassured me and
brought me under her wing

and just made me feel
so welcome and loved.

I couldn't have done it
without her that first year.

If it wasn't for Barb,

I would have run away
10 times over.

I was so young
and inexperienced.

Honey, we just want one minute.

We want to do the resealing.

We want to do it
after the wedding.

You signed off on this?

It's important
we're all together

for time and all eternity.

But I thought we already are.

I'm about to go into battle

and I want to be
sealed to my wives

and have that sealing
in a true church.

Nicki was sealed by a false
prophet; Marge was 16;

And you and I were sealed...

By a church of hypocrites.
I know.

So apparently

either I continue
to believe in a sealing

that means nothing
to you anymore,

or we get resealed in a church
where I don't feel welcome.

Honey, of course
you're welcome.

No, not really.

I'm sorry.
I truly am.

Just let's not let this
ruin the day.

Barb?

Don't push her into it.

We need to respect
what she wants too.

She's asking questions.
That's a good thing.

She'll be okay.

Easy on the blush, Marge.

She's already a blushing bride.

You look beautiful, mama.

Oh, no no no. Hold it in.
Just hold it in.

Okay, I've got
waterproof mascara.

Who are you texting?

A friend.

Oh, is Gary
your plus-one?

Gary couldn't make it.

Here. Blot.
Don't wipe.

I thought I might deviate a
bit from the usual vows.

I mean, don't worry.
It's nothing drastic.

I just wrote a short
little something.

It slips right in.
I think you'll like it.

Thank you, Barb.

Of course.

No, Barb,

thank you.

Mama.

Dad went and got her.

I do love you, Nicolette,

and so did your father.

Walk me down the aisle.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Brothers and sisters,

family and friends,

we're gathered here today
to join

William Orville Henrickson

to Nicolette eugenia grant

in the joy of holy
and legal matrimony.

Family is everything.

It's what keeps us going
in tough times.

And I have faith
that our family

will keep going
through anything.

This family is ordained of God.

So, unless anyone has

any objections to this union,

we will proceed to the vows.

Very good.

William Orville Henrickson,

do you take
Nicolette eugenia grant

to be your
lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold
from this day forward

for better or for worse,
for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish

for as long as you both
shall live?

I do.

And do you,
Nicolette eugenia grant,

take William Orville Henrickson

to be your
lawfully wedded husband,

to have and to hold
from this day forward

for better or for worse,
for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish

for as long as you both
shall live?

I do.

I am so blessed.

Then by the power vested in me

by the state of Utah,

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

- Hi.
- Mom.

- Hi.
- Hi Barb.

- Was that beautiful?
- Just gorgeous.

- Give it to me. It's mine.
- Oh, settle down.

- Hi.
- Hi Barb.

- Ow, you stepped on my foot.
- Boys, must stop jumping.

Come on.

Get ready to
call the ambulance.

- Hi.
- Hey.

You need anything?
You good?

It's all great, thanks.

All right.

There's more food out there.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Benny... oh, we don't have napkins.
- Okay.

What?

Where are you?

Uh, a wedding.

I need you, Lois.

- Uh... - Where are you?
I really need you.

- We need to walk now.
- Get away from me.

Stand...

By virtue of
the holy priesthood

and the authority vested in me,

I pronounce us
husband and wives

for time and all eternity.

I seal upon us by virtue
of the holy priesthood

in the name of the father
and of the son

and of the holy ghost.

Amen.

Amen.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

What?

I like that you're good
at taking care of people.

Yeah, I think
I found my groove.

He's choking me.
He's choking me. Anybody, help.

Guys, no rough-housing.

Hey, break it up.
Break it up, come on.

- Hey guys.
- Hi.

Isn't she a beautiful bride?

Bob, how're you doing?
Good to see you.

This is great.

- Everything here okay?
- Yeah, okay.

Hey, what's up, dad?

Leave? Why?

What do you mean,
he spoke to you?

The bishop?

Oh my...

Ben!

Bill, I just wanted to say hi.

Oh hi.
How are you guys?

Can I help you?

We're sorry to disturb
your party, ma'am.

Are you Barbara Henrickson?

What's the problem?

Is someone's car
blocking something?

We know this is a bad time.
Could you step outside?

Why?

What is this about?

Mrs. Henrickson, we believe
you possess information

pertaining to
an open investigation.

An investigation of what?

Statutory rape.

Excuse me.
