Big Love - D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - Recap
With her impending divorce looming over her, Barb looks for someone to turn to while Bill fights with the Church. She seeks help from an ex Mormon feminist who went through what Barb is going through. She understands that Barb wants equal rights withing her religion and goes to speak to the family on Barb's behalf. I feel like all Bill does is bring trouble to the family. Maybe Divorce isn't such a bad thing after all. After Don's attack, Bill worries about what Alby may do next and fears for the safety of his family. He hires a security team to watch over them.
In between doing this, Bill forces Frank to take Lois off his hands. He says he's doing it for Lois but really? Does he really think Frank will take the best care of her? Hasn't he tried to kill them all at one point or another? But Frank surprises me and doesn't act like a total ass and seems to put a real effort into taking care of Lois. He feeds her, talks to her and even takes her on day trips to the beach. Lois seems to have an idea forming in her head and carries a butcher knife in her purse. I spent the majority of this episode thinking that she was going to stab him at any moment for giving her herpes. I would be wrong about her intentions. Lois realizes her mind is going quicker than she thought and asks Frank to put her out of her misery when the time comes. Aww :( Poor Lois. What a terrible end to a great character.
Rhonda is still floating around taking care of her mystery baby while her husband Verlin is off kissing Alby for money. I have to say I'm surprised that Alby doesn't kiss back. It seems he really was traumatized. Just not traumatized enough to not have this guy try to kill Bill and his friends. Rhonda is making money stripping in a bar and singing bad country music. Ben's been looking at her funny this entire episode. Maybe he knows Heather was in love with his sister. Whatever happened to that anyway? Heather confesses to Ben that she had a boyfriend before she came home but that he's away on his mission. Ben is pissed and decides to take his frustrations to the bar Rhonda is stripping at and kisses her. Gross! Speaking of gross, Cara lynn's teacher, who is THIRTY SEVEN, is falling in love with her and they spend most of this episode making out.
Barb's mom is confused by her actions and when news of the divorce and her new feminist friend reaches her ears, she convinces herself that Barb is a lesbian. LOL. Not quite. The feminist talk doesn't go over well with the family and Bill flat out refuses to allow Barb any of the things she wants. What a stubborn douche. Barb announces that she can no longer attend his church. This divorce is seeming more real every week.
