Hello. I'm your Blackfoot
Casino bus-riding hostess.

Sit back and enjoy
the ride.

May I confirm
your hotel reservation,

arrange for a bouquet
in your room?

Tony Orlando is playing
in the lounge.

Perhaps
a front-row table?

It's not exactly
an original idea.

There's buses
to ferry the willing

to the casinos
in Wendover,

but we're going to
give ours the Mormon twist.

Box lunches,
Jell-O, egg salad

and your choice of
two tasty casseroles.

This is great, Bill,

smart and inventive.

If we give Red Line
the exclusive,

they'll commit to running
shuttles 24-7.

Hostesses included.

And our financial progress...

where are we
on that front?

Don?

Our loan application
is before the bank.

I'd be surprised if we don't hear back
in a couple days...

our package
is that strong.

And with the bank's
letter of intent,

we're off to see the Federal Tribal Gaming
Commission for approval.

Well, as you know,
I had my doubts about you two,

and I'm happy to have
been proven wrong.

Sparkling cider.

Thank you.

To the meeting
of great minds.

Ahh!

I don't understand why
she hasn't said yes.

We would be
saving her soul.

This is a big
decision, Nicki.

It would be nice to take some of
the pressure off Margie and me

to keep having babies.

Oh, that horrible hair.

Oh, I know
why she did it.

She wants
to be me is why.

- Who was that, honey?
- It was Joey.

Since Roman can't go
back to the compound,

he's moved into a motel
here in the city.

Really?
Does Nicki know?

I'm not sure.
The trial really shook her up.

She said yes!

She's gonna say yes!

Margie!

Ana!
Is it true?

Will you marry us?

Yes, Bill.
Yes!

L... I was going to
tell you when we got home.

So when should
we do this?

Tonight.

Tonight?
The wedding?

Sarah has work.

Oh.
This afternoon.

3:30?

How's 3:30?

Do you, Sister Mesovich,

take Brother Henrickson,
to be his wedded wife,

to hearken unto him
as he hearkens to the Lord,

for all time
and eternity,

in the presence of God,
angels and these witnesses,

of your own
free will and choice?

Yes.

By virtue of the holy
priesthood vested in me,

I now pronounce you,
Bill, and you, Ana,

husband and wife
for all eternity,

and seal upon you

the blessings
of the holy resurrection,

honor, glory,
immortality

and everlasting lives.

In the name of the Father
and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost,

- amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Go ahead and kiss
your new bride, Bill.

Congratulations, Bill.

Mom?
Hey, I gotta go.

I gotta get
back to work.

I need to run out
for a few minutes.

I've got a meeting
at 4:30.

Congratulations, Ana.

You want to
ride together?

Good deal.

Congratulations.

Well, first thing,
everyone:

I discussed this
with Bill and then Ana,

and it makes better sense
to have her here

closer to us all instead
of her apartment.

That's great.
I agree.

So until something permanent
can be worked out,

Ana's going to be living
with me in this house.

L... I should
go pack.

You discussed this with Bill and Ana?
Did I miss something?

I don't see why she can't
live in her own apartment,

at least until she starts
having children.

- Or with me.
- This was just housekeeping.

It didn't occur to me
that anyone would care.

And Bill decided
the matter in his wisdom,

so I guess
that's that.

Shouldn't we have talked
about this at least?

Welcome to my world.

Ted, I'm sorry I'm late.
I'm pulling in now.

The elevator's unlocked.
Come on up.

You look at that
legislation closely,

it's... it's broad,
it's overreaching.

You're trying to ban
all gambling-like businesses,

well, what doesn't
that include?

Church bingo?

All I'm asking for here
is a fair shake, Bob.

And what would
that look like?

Bury the bills. Send them back
to committee for further study

before reporting them out.

If the bills would benefit

from further study,

then that would be
the prudent thing to do.

Sure.

Bob, thank you so much
for taking the time.

We're not in session
for another three weeks.

Bill, a pleasure.

Likewise.

- We'll talk.
- Mm-hmm.

Thanks, Ted.

I'm grateful to you
for doing this.

No problem.

I have to ask you:

What made you
change your mind?

I need you
to help me.

An associate of mine
is a collector.

He's in the process of buying a certain
historical document

from somebody
from Juniper Creek.

- What document?
- About the Mountain Meadows incident.

Apparently it implicates Salt Lake City
in the massacre.

The seller had dropped
the document off to the authenticators,

but then he
got skittish.

Who's selling
these documents?

Albert Grant.

My Albert Grant is doing business with
one of your friends?

Yes. And when he told me,
I thought, "My brother-in-law knows him."

You're a member
of his family, Bill.

You know
how he operates.

Get him to come
to the table.

I'm sorry, Ted.

I'm no longer doing
business with the Grants.

Let me put
it differently:

Do you think we'll be able to
help each other?

Provided LB 21 and
LB 22 are going to die

a slow bureaucratic death.

Well, you heard Bob.

Consider it done.

Next time you want
something from me, Ted,

just ask me plain
and simple.

That's the Pleiades.

And what's that there?

I think
that's Cassiopeia.

There's Orion's Belt
right there,

which means there's the North Star.
Do you see it?

Oh, look over there...
a shooting star!

- Where?
- Here.

Hey, can I ask you,

what made you say yes?

When you were deciding,

you really had me
sweating bullets there for a while.

There was something that attracted me
to you and your wives, Bill:

The way your love
is so generous

and so giving.

And I want to
be a part of it,

of what you have.

And now you are...

wife.

And now I am,
husband.

Oh, my gosh.

This is no dream!
This is really happening!

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, golly gee!

This is horrible!

It's disgusting!
It's so perverted.

Is that her...
blood on her nipple?

It's the devil. Her husband's making her
have sex with the devil?

This movie should be banned.
No one should see this.

Sarah, so I'm
scamming Mom's car

and Franky and I are road-tripping
to the compound.

Okay, where's the thing?
Franky...

Franky really
wants to go.

Come with us, please?

Where?

The compound.
We have plans with Donna.

Come on, come.
It's an adventure.

Okay.

Sarah!
What are you, crazy?

It's dangerous!
They're all robots.

Who knows what
could happen up there?

It's fun.
It's like a carnival.

There's, like, reporters
and TV people from all over the place.

Your parents are
going to kill you if they find out.

You know what? I don't particularly care
what my parents think at the moment.

I can take care
of myself. I'm going.

Yes!

Excuse me,
but that's my chair.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.

Of course not.
How could you have?

Um, Barb?

Oh, for goodness' sakes.

Nicki, it's only a chair.

Well, if it's only a chair,
then why don't you give Ana yours?

Ana?

First order of business:
Grocery shopping for Ana's reception.

- You have these meetings every week?
- Every day.

Is this a problem?

No.
No problem.

Haa!

What is that?

In honor of Ana.

It's her first wives' meeting
and I wanted to make it special.

Cherry pie is what I ate
the first time we met. Remember, Ana?

- I do, Margie.
- We don't eat during our meetings.

- Well...
- Well, we don't.

In any case, shopping,
Ana's reception.

- I'll do it.
- Oh!

Barb usually assigns
us our duties.

Assigns?

I'm gonna go get
some plates.

I'll give you a hand,
if that's all right with everybody.

Assigns?

It's a little like being
in the army, isn't it?

Oh, only if you let it be.

Barb and Nicki like things
all regimented.

I just play along because
it's not important to me who sits where.

Just out
of curiosity, Ana,

did you ask to live with Barb
or did she ask you?

Barb suggested it.

- Why?
- No reason.

It's just you don't have to live
with her if you don't want to.

You totally
have a choice.

For instance, you could, if you
wanted to, live with me.

I'm not sure, Margie.
When Barb came to me,

it sounded like
such a good idea.

Oh, it is.
It is.

But my house?
Better idea.

Barb likes things
a little particular,

and it takes a while to get used to that.
Believe me, I know.

Think about how much
fun we'd have.

But I don't want to
hurt Barb's feelings.

Oh, you wouldn't be!
Trust me.

I'll talk to Bill.

Kathy, it's Bill.
Is Joey there?

Certainly, Bill.
Let me get him.

- Joey!
- Kathy, wait.

How are you?
How are you doing?

Do you think you're going
to be able to put all this

with Roman and the trial
behind you?

A guilty man walked free...
that's how I'm doing.

Yeah, a guilty man
walked free.

Here's Joey.
It's Bill.

Hey, Bill.

I got Mom set up in one of
Don's apartments downtown.

Good. Dad's still
looking for her

- and things couldn't be worse over here.
- How are you?

We're okay so far.

Alby's turning the compound
into a police state, Bill.

He's instituted
a curfew,

deputized a new
security force.

He's harassing
outsiders.

Everyone is being
turned away.

He's probably afraid Roman's going
to make a grab for power.

So why are you letting
Nicki go to this powwow?

I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

What are you talking about?
What powwow?

You don't know
about this?

At Roman's motel.

We'll be lucky to get out of here without
our throats being slit.

We should have killed him
when we had the chance.

- I told you.
- Hello, sisters.

Alby, what's going on?
Mama just said show up or I'm dead.

We're the prodigals summoned
for a special audience.

Papa has a list of traitors.
He's planning his punishment.

What did you do, Nicki?

Nothing, Evie!
Not a thing.

Albert, imagine in
what esteem

the compound
would hold you

and your warm-hearted wife

were I to reveal
how tenderly

you ministered to me

while I was
close to death.

I'm a registered nurse,
Father Roman.

- I cared for you the best way...
- Lura.

Why don't
you imagine, Papa,

how your acolytes
would respond

if they learned how
Mama recently tried to test the limits

of my mortality?

And let us all
be mindful of where

the alleged incident, of which I know
nothing about, took place.

Tap tap tap.

So...

are you going to
openly defy me or not?

Nicolette.

Can't we all just
get along?

You served me
so faithfully during my trial.

Perhaps I might one day have to share
that fact with your husband.

Papa.

If only
so he might know

what a dutiful wife
he's married.

It's a new dawning,
my children.

All past transgressions
can and will be forgiven

provided all sinners
fall in line.

Understood?

My favorite thing about
that part of the Adriatic

where the river meets
the sea

is when you dive in and
the water touches your lips.

Ahh! And you expect
it to be so deep,

but it's not.

I've always dreamed of going
on a cruise one day...

to the Caribbean,

or... or maybe
up to Alaska.

- Have you traveled a lot?
- Mmm,

some. Not as much
as I would have liked.

There is still time.
We can travel together.

Oh, Ana, that would...

I would love that.

See,

that's what
I'm talking about.

With you here,

I feel as if I have
a true friend now in this marriage.

You have Nicki and Margie.

I do,
and I love them,

but they're my sisters,
not my friends.

There's a difference.
Do you know what I mean?

Barb, Margene asked me
to live with her.

She said we would
have more fun.

Oh. What did you say?

I didn't know what to say.
She caught me by surprise.

What do you want to do?

This is where most of
the family activity happens,

- in this house, right?
- Yes.

All right. Then this is
where I want to be.

I don't want to get
lost in the shuffle.

I don't want to
be left out.

So we're still
in agreement then?

We are.
I'll talk to Margie.

Oh, no no. No, don't.
I'll talk to Bill.

To Bill?
Why?

Well, there's a way things
are done in this marriage.

There's a system.

Don't worry
about a thing.

You just be ready
to move tomorrow.

So we can all
move forward as one.

Amen.

Nicki, what in the "H"
are you doing here?

I thought you were done
playing these games with your father.

I had to come here
to protect us,

protect our family.

- I had to find out where we stood.
- And?

My father has bigger
fish to fry.

He's trying to coerce
Alby back into submission.

Go home.

We'll talk later.

Alby, I want five minutes.
I want to know

where you've been getting these
documents you've been selling.

I don't want to talk
to you, Bill.

I'm through being dragged
into your battles.

No, you owe me for leaving me
high and dry at the courthouse.

Where are you getting
the documents?

I've been collecting them
from the faithful

and selling them only to replenish
the compound's coffers,

which are empty thanks to my father's
gross mismanagement.

Then why not complete
this Mountain Meadows deal?

I didn't like
the buyer's attitude.

He didn't speak to
my husband with respect.

Well, the buyer's a friend
of my brother-in-law Ted

and Ted's asked me
to intercede.

My my, is there any pie
Bill Henrickson doesn't have his finger in?

Alby, I know these people:
They're bottom-liners.

If you tell me what you need,
I'll make it happen.

Let me try and help you.

Maybe I can even get them to goose
up whatever the original offer was.

Yes. A penalty
for disrespect.

- Hi, sweetie.
- Ana wants to live with me.

She told me. She thinks...
and I agree with her...

it makes more sense.

Ana said that?

Well, I can't remember
who said what exactly,

but Bill, really, I have Nell now
and she's teething.

It would be such a help
to have Ana with me.

Barb called me
about this already, Margene.

And besides the fact
that it's been decided,

we don't want to turn Ana
into a glorified nursemaid.

What is the deal, anyway?
Why is Barb suddenly

obsessed with Ana?
I don't get it.

- Is she mad at me?
- Honey, I want Ana to feel

as welcome and as settled
and as integrated as quickly as possible.

Ultimately, I know
you do too, so...

Let me think about
this one, okay?

Mm-hmm.

What's up?

L...

I gave my notice.

They asked for
two weeks, but l...

What is it?
What's wrong?

I lose one case
and you're bailing?

It's more problems
with my family.

I'm sorry, Mr. Henry.

Me too.

I enjoyed
my time here.

What?

Nothing.

I can't wait.
We're gonna be on TV.

We're gonna be on "Entertainment
Tonight." They do come, right?

Yeah, sometimes.
Once or twice, I think.

"Entertainment Tonight"
is so not coming to the compound.

Whatever, Bamm-Bamm.
I'll just work on my tan.

Back at the house,
you called me wicked.

Why'd you do that?

Because that's
what you are.

It's not your fault.
The world's a wicked place.

If you don't believe
in Uncle Roman,

then how can you resist
Satan's temptations?

Now that Ana is a spouse,

I want to show her that we deal
with issues in our marriage openly

and as they arise.

For instance, this question
about where she's going to live.

It's not a question;
it's whatever Ana wants.

Absolutely right...
whatever Ana wants.

For the most part,
however,

her physical, emotional
and intellectual well-being

and her spiritual development
are my responsibility

first and foremost.

Now she could live here
with you, Barb,

or she could live with you,
Margie, at your house.

Neither of those options
feel fair to Nicki.

You and Ana know
each other the least.

She should
move in with you.

Why am I the one
being punished?

No one's being punished.

This is the perfect opportunity
for the two of you to bond.

Can we put this
to a vote?

- Don't you do that?
- Not this time.

Look, I'm asking you, honey,
to trust me on this one.

Guys, I want to try this arrangement
and see how it works.

And if need be,
we'll reevaluate it at a later date.

Wait, I'm confused.

Our credit and our financials
are impeccable.

Yes, but there are other
issues at play here, Mr. Henrickson.

There are community
standards to consider.

It's the bank's responsibility
to the community.

Meaning?

There is such a thing
as fiscal morality.

Why don't you just
speak plainly?

Tolerating gambling among the faithful is
one thing, gentlemen;

structuring an entire
business model to exploit that weakness

in LDS families is
something else entirely.

Your plans and proposals
for your casino may be sound,

but the principles
behind them are cynical.

That's your personal opinion
or the bank's?

I'm sorry. Your loan
application is denied.

This place is awful,
but I'm still glad I'm not at the house.

My dad took
a fourth wife.

What? When?

Yesterday
in the backyard.

Four mothers
and a baby of my own.

I'm no different
than her.

I came here thinking that
I would feel superior.

I thought it would make
myself feel better.

Sarah!

I can't believe that
this is my life.

In your heart of hearts,
what do you want to do with your baby?

Don't think;
just answer.

Keep it.

Oh my God,
I said, "Keep it."

- Dude, you're crazy!
- I'm gonna go to my mom's.

What?

I want to see her before
it gets too late.

Um, your mom's gone.

Your dad sent her away,
man, for whacking him with a shovel.

Franky! Franky!

Where's he going?
Ben!

I'll be back.
Just stay here, okay?

Thank you, girls.

You told me you'd be here
half an hour ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, Nicki.
I had to finish

taping up some
of my boxes.

You're going to have to learn:
This is a big family.

We're all very busy people,
so we have to be respectful

of each other's times
and commitments.

This is all your fault, Barb.

You can spread out in
my nook for the time being.

Barb says you have
a spare bedroom upstairs.

Oh, I just fixed that up
for my crafts.

But I cleaned out a drawer
for you to put your things in.

No, they're not!

Nicki, no offense,

but screw your drawer
and screw your nook.

I need my own room with
an actual door that closes.

We don't use that kind
of language in this house.

Bill!

It is a colossal mistake
to inflict Nicki upon Ana in this way.

She'll scare her off the way
she almost scared me off.

Ana's a big girl.
She can handle herself in a pickle.

This was a wives' issue.
You shouldn't have gotten involved.

You both came to me and
asked me to make a decision

and I made it. And frankly, Barb,
I wish you had handled it

in a way that everyone's
feelings were respected.

That's right!
You've abused your authority.

Now hold on,
I exercised my authority.

Wait wait! I know
you're talking about me!

All we're saying, Nicki,
is that

Ana needs to be eased into the family
delicately right now.

Which is what
I'm trying to do...

show Ana how it works when there
are more than two people in a marriage.

The point is, occasionally,
without meaning to,

- you can just be the tiniest bit...
- Extremely abrasive!

Well, no one mollycoddled me
when I came into the family.

I mean, who knew Ana was
such a delicate blossom?

I mean, she looks
pretty sturdy to me.

All right, Nicki,
that's enough.

No, it is not!

You should hear
the mouth on her... like a sailor.

I'm trying to keep this
family moving forward,

and she's... she's pushy,
she's willful

and she refuses
to submit.

Yes. And she is
now sealed to us

and we all made
that decision as one.

Everyone's voice was heard,
and we all need to fit in,

Ana included.

So get used to her, Nicki.
The sooner, the better.

Me?
What about those two?

Them too... everyone.
This isn't a sorority house

or some high-school clique.

With all due respect, Bill,

we added a new wife to the mix,
not a new husband,

and it's gonna be fine.
Of course it is.

But you have to understand, there's going
to be growing pains for us all.

It's only natural.
So I would appreciate it

if you kept the finger-wagging
to a minimum while we all sort this out.

Fine. Done. But I don't want to hear
any more nonsense about it.

Ana is my top priority
right now.

- Bill?
- Ana.

I want my own house.

It's not right
for me to be living

with one of your other wives.
I've decided...

I need my own place.

Sure, sweetheart,
I understand.

And as soon as something
opens up on the block, I'll make it happen.

Okay?

Is this
how it always is?

Define "always."

When you married Nicki,
when you married Margene,

was it also this tense?

There's always something to be negotiated.
Every wife is different.

Every marriage is.

- So this feels right to you?
- What, our marriage?

Yes, absolutely.
It feels very right to me.

I still want
my own house.

Oh, Ana, you're one
of my wives now

and I'm the one who decides
when the time is right

for making a big decision
like buying a new house.

I can help with the down payment,
if that's a concern.

I have savings.

Well, technically, we're supposed to pool
all our money together.

What do you mean?

Well, any income
we make as individuals

goes into a common pot.

What? Even my tips
from the diner?

Technically speaking.

- No!
- Yes.

- No.
- Yes.

No! My tips
are my tips!

- Mine! No communal pot.
- Hey.

And I'm telling you
right now:

Ana Mesovich needs
her own house,

on the block
or off the block.

I could apply to ASU. I mean, I don't think
their deadline's passed yet.

And if you got in,
we could live together.

We could do that.

They have suites
in the dorms for families.

That totally makes sense.

Yeah, schools have suites for families.
Of course they do.

And we could be one... a family...
the three of us.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And I could take morning classes;
you could take evening ones.

That way there'd always be
somebody to watch the baby.

My baby.
My baby!

Oh my God.

You're pregnant?

Maybe.

Oh my God, don't make
any rash decisions.

When you're ready,
I know a good clinic you could go to.

Alby's God squad.

- What?
- It's Alby's God squad!

We're not supposed to be here.
Run!

- Run where?
- Don't move!

- Hey, wait for us!
- Come back here!

Oh my God, Sarah,
I think they have guns.

Does your father
know you're here?

What happened to my mom?

Oh, come in.
Hurry now.

Well, you too.

What are you,
slow, boy?

She's in Nicaragua...

an encampment
in the mountains.

Is there a number
I can call?

Only Frank knows
where she's staying.

So we'll wait
and ask him.

- You don't understand.
- He's my grandfather.

- If we talk to him respectfully...
- You should leave...

right now out
the back door.

Oh oh oh!

Isn't this a pairing?

Curly and
the sex maniac!

Thick as thieves.

Where did you send
my mother?

Careful.

You're putting your head
in the lion's mouth.

Get my eggs.

He just wants to make sure
his mom is okay.

I told him...
I said it would be okay.

Did you now?

Where is she?

I actually have a more
interesting question...

for you, Curly:
Where's your granny at?

You know,
don't you?

- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.

And about Franky's mother?

Only a coward...
only a truly evil person

would keep a mother
and her son apart.

Aww! Look who's
finally got some spunk!

Lo and behold,
maybe some of my blood

does run through
your veins.

That's how it goes sometimes...
skips a generation.

Tell me where she is!

You know what?
I might have told you

because I'm
a compassionate man,

but Curly here is
refusing to budge,

so I'm refusing
to budge.

You, son,

have just lost

any chance
you ever had

of me ever telling you

where your useless
mother is.

Get out!

You're beyond
redemption.

You're beyond salvation!

So Ana wants
her own house.

Did you know that?

Yes, I did.

So I was thinking...

for the good
of the family,

I was thinking that

Ana could take my house.

Well, that's very generous
of you, Margie,

- but then where would you live?
- With you, of course!

Oh, Margie.

Think about it. It'd be
just like it used to be

when we all lived together.
Remember? It could be so much fun.

Margie, honey,
I don't think so.

I don't think that
would work.

Well, why not?

Well, for one,
that would be a stretch,

but I could make room
for Ana.

But if we're talking about
you and Nell and the boys,

and...

Don't you want
to live with me?

L...

Forget it.
It was such a dumb idea.

Margie, wait.

Margie.

God, what was that?

I don't know!

You guys, I'm telling you:
The car's the other way!

I can't get a signal.
Can you guys get a signal?

- This place is satanic.
- Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

Oh my God, you guys! Someone's
coming. Someone's following us.

Ah! It's a dead end!
We're trapped!

I wanna get out of here!
I don't want to die here!

- We're not gonna die!
- Shh shh shh.

The car's this way.

We've been waiting.

I came back
to lead you out.

It's Ray Henry.

I'm not calling you
from work

or from a work phone
or as your boss.

I'm calling you
as someone who likes you

and considers you
a friend.

Don't quit, okay?

Come back. We're really
missing you here.

And I don't
just mean the office.

I mean
I'm really missing you.

Call me.

Bill says
we should bond.

You and me?

Strike!

Well done.

I can't believe you
of all people drink.

I don't!

All right,
maybe once or twice.

But absolutely not a drop
when you're pregnant, Ana.

Of course
I wouldn't, Nicki.

To marriage.

To motherhood.

Nicki, are you expecting?

No, but I'm trying.

I'm trying really hard.

Soon, I bet.

You know, Ana,

the bond between sister-wives
is unlike anything else.

It runs deeper
than blood.

Eventually there are
no secrets...

nothing that can't
be shared.

Barb, Margie and l...

but especially
Barb and l...

- we're like this.
- Really?

'Cause Barb seems...

please don't say anything
to anyone about this,

because I'm not sure...

but Barb seems
a little Ionely to me.

Huh?

I felt it
a little bit at first,

and then more when
she started talking

how she wanted us to
do everything together...

go shopping,
make schedules...

Just the two of you?

Oh, it was like she
wanted me to be...

her lieutenant
or something.

You?

Her lieutenant?

Maybe I'm
misinterpreting.

I don't... that's what
it seemed like.

It's me, Mr. Henry,

calling to say...

to say that

it's such a real pleasure
working for you,

Mr. Henry...

a real real pleasure.

And I've...

ahem...

I've decided that I want
to come back to work for you

to continue my...

pleasure.

Ben.

Get up.

Franky, what...

- what time is it?
- It's early, Ben.

I'm going.
I have to.

What?
Going where?

To Nicaragua.
I'm going to find my mother.

Nica... what?

Wait, that's nuts.

Do you even know
where that is?

Jodean gave me the number
of a woman I could call.

Wait. Just let me talk
to my dad first.

What did you think, Ben?

That I was gonna move in?

That we were gonna
be brothers?

You were
gonna save me?

There's no hope
for me here.

Just don't tell your dad
I left, okay?

And especially don't
tell Sarah. Promise?

- Franky...
- Thank you, Ben.

Thank you for the prom, man.
That was a really great night.

No. No bother, Celeste.
I'm so glad you called.

Yes, I will call everyone
on the phone tree

and give them
the good news.

Uh-huh. All right,
well bye-bye to you too.

What?
The tie?

That was my girlfriend
from Eagle Forum.

The anti-gaming bills
are out of committee

and very much alive.

Ted lied to you.

I've got to make
some calls.

I'll be back in
a couple of hours.

Okay, so get this...
get a nice hold.

- Okay. This... yeah.
- And there... yeah.

I feel like a child
in the sandpit.

I know!

Look at them.
They're so... close.

You'd think they've been
best friends forever.

I've noticed that too.

Who knew Barb could be so...
so fickle.

It's like she doesn't even
care about us anymore.

Well, she's never had
my best interests at heart.

That's now plain as day.

But you...

I think it must be
because you're growing into your own.

I've sure been
trying to.

You're slipping
from her control.

I bet that's why
she hates your hair.

I knew it.

I knew she hated it!

I mean, you should
hear her go on and on,

all because you
didn't ask her first.

Well, why should I have?
It's my hair, it's my choice.

Completely. And those azaleas
that she planting for Ana's reception?

- What color did we want?
- White!

- But Barb wanted magenta.
- Even though it was two against one.

And...

white's Ana's
favorite color.

- It is? How did you know that?
- She told me.

And what's worse...
Barb knew and she still planted magenta.

I can't believe
she planted magenta azaleas

when she knew Ana wanted white.
Who does that?

- Where's the document?
- It's with Alby.

He's waiting with it
in my car with my partner.

What's the problem?

You want to believe
the best in people.

You want to believe
people can change.

Neither you nor Hayes has done
anything about the anti-gambling bills.

They're nowhere near
being sunk.

Obviously there's
some confusion,

there's some
miscommunication.

You give us time...

Don't insult
my intelligence.

Barb heard something from
one of her Eagle Forum friends

and I did a little
double-checking.

I'm telling you:
We're working on this, Bill.

That's great, but the terms
of the deal have changed.

The price of Alby's
document has gone up.

Oh, terrific. So now you're
jerking me around?

Well, forget it.
No way.

You're going to grind
those bills into dust.

Then you're going to
pick up the phone and call

Garnett National Bank
corporate headquarters.

Surely a man like you
knows an officer.

What are you
driving at?

In this city, there's
a certain interrelationship

between the church
and the business community.

You travel
in both circles.

There's a loan at Garnett National
that's been rejected.

You're going to see
that it goes through.

Once I have that letter
in my hands...

No, Ted. Now.

Margene! Nicki!
What the heck are you two doing?

I'm getting ready
for Ana's reception.

I am trying to
preserve this marriage!

Have you both
lost your minds?

- Stop that!
- White is Ana's favorite color

but you planted magenta
when you knew...

you knew
she wanted white!

I knew
of no such thing!

Oh, that's right, Margie.
We forgot we're dealing with St. Barb...

never an evil thought
in her mind.

All right,
just stop that!

Please put that back!

Nicki, quit now!

Don't pretend you're blind
to what's happening here,

you... you womanizer!

I know you've been going
through a difficult time

with your mother's passing.

This has nothing
to do with that.

You get to do whatever
you want in this family.

But Marge and l...
we're second-class citizens.

That is absolutely
not true.

I do one thing on my own without
groveling for permission...

What on earth
are you talking about?

You're stealing Ana
because of my hair.

All right,
I'm neither stealing Ana

nor do I give a fig
about your hair.

Nicki, what are
you saying to her?

We're a balance, Barb.

You, me and Margie...
the three of us work,

but now
with Ana we don't,

and you've
become unhinged.

You're fawning over her...

laughing, giggling.

So?

So it's not you.
It's completely phony.

And it's embarrassing to me
and it's upsetting Margie.

I'm sorry, but that's
a part of who I am.

And if you're suggesting
I can't change...

You can change but you
have to stay the same too.

Admit it... admit that
you don't want Ana for Bill

or for the family, but for yourself.
Please, just be honest.

Fine.

I will be.

Margene, Nicki,
I want Ana for myself.

To be your second
in command.

No, to be my friend.
To be an adult with me!

What are you saying
about us, Barb?

I'm saying... and you
be quiet, Nicki...

Ana makes me
feel normal,

like choosing this life,
agreeing to it,

wasn't a mistake.

I don't do that
for you?

No, Margie, you don't.

Tell me how
and I will.

It just doesn't
work that way.

You and Nicki, you give me something
else, something wonderful,

but it's... it's not
that one thing.

Don't say anything.
Let's just go.

- Let's get out of here.
- I can't, Bill.

Sure you can,
for a few days...

a honeymoon... a real honeymoon.
Where do you want to go?

Just tell me.
I'll make it happen.

Bill, I can't do this.

Ana, don't.
Please don't.

- No. No.
- No, don't.

Bill?

Ana?

I can't, Margie.

All of you, I'm sorry.
I can't do this.

But you love us.

- Margie.
- What?

I do love you,
but I'm also breaking you...

what you have...
a perfect union.

No, you make us
more perfect.

No, Bill, it's not right.

What I love... if I stay,
it will go away.

I don't want to hurt you.

I want a divorce.

I should go get
Wayne and Raymond.

I don't understand.

I thought that this
was meant to be.
