That piece of bitch trash Nikki refusing to get her kid some ice cream because "daddy doesn't want us to buy fun things anymore"...
And her taking out that hotel receipt at the end, I can't believe Bill didn't have her cancel all her cards yet. I swear that man is going to have a heart attack before the season ends hehe.

So I guess the only way for Bill to get rid of Roman is now to return to the compound as the blood decendant of the True Prophet. Now THAT would be a kick ass direction for the show...

I really enjoyed that one. The characters are well written and universally well acted. Really felt for Bill in this episode, but honestly, is it that hard to find available land in UTAH? Wasting two dozen live Maine Lobsters has me almost crying, though.
BTW : finally got some female nudity - nine episodes in. Was there really any question who would be the first?

Anyway, I can't understand how Barb was so nonchalent about the $60K of debt. They don't look like they are loaded (Barb drives an old station wagon and the other wives have old or small cars and they've got 7 kids to take care of). I remember when Bill wouldn't let Margene call a plumber to even fix the disposal. They always seem like they're budgeting. Yet, Barb didn't seem too upset about this. That part didn't make sense to me.

It was a Marriot(?) receipt. She said she stayed at a shelter the night before but she was really living in the lap of luxury at the Marriot.
She's still my favorite character. I guess it has something to do with my long time attraction to Chloe Sevigny,

Does anyone think there is more to the Margene vote than Nicki let on? It seemed like she just said it to shut her up (and to possibly draw attention away from the hotel statement/debt situation). Betty's talk with Margene in the truck seemed to allude to the idea that there were more issues with letting Margene into the family than a few split votes.

I think everything Nikki said was her projecting onto Margene, and she did not want a young hottie as the 3rd wife, because she would have to compete with the first wife and now the young hottie, and she brings nothing to the table.

I thought Bill's reluctance to let her call a plumber was also out of privacy concerns. The kitchen's seem to look into the connected backyards for all the houses.
To me it doesn't make a ton of sense for them to be in such an open sub-division like that. I would think it makes it exponentially more difficult to keep things under wraps.

I love to hate her. Plus she appears to have some nice boobies.

The receipt she pulled out at the end was for a hotel, but if you look closely it says she paid cash for it.

I agree with IDrinkMolson it does say cash, I was thinking that her and Bill made up and went to the hotel and started an affair, like Barb's.

Great episode. Nikki may be a bitch, but God does she have a nice body.

I was referring to after he found her.

She knows they have to find a solution for the problem, because the damage is already done. Yelling and being upset doesn't accomplish that.

Previews looked interesting, and the aspect of the show I've been kinda waiting for.

It does seem like they should live on 20 acres somewhere just to be more private. Nikki is really getting on my nerves. It may not be good for ratings, but I would like to see the family be in harmony for a few episodes.
