Wow, I had my Monday fix and this week was so scattered! I can't keep up with who's crossing, double crossing, triple crossing, who's friends, who's enemies, and so on and so on... I really enjoyed the way they settled the Benny issue, and the way the show concluded with him being welcomed into the holy realm of the men of their belief system, the Priesthood of believers. I read several comments about wives submitting, in such a setting, and I think along the same lines as the original wedding vows practiced in most other Christian based religions - love honor obey - and how women either semi-ignore that promise when it is convenient to argue a point, or choose to leave it out of the vows completely. Anyway, the union of the Mormon polygamist in utopian terms means the women all agree and submit wholly to the man, but in reality, I think it is more like we see on the show. The ending of tonight's episode was a total shock. I cannot imagine how the rammifications of that will ripple outward and affect all of their lives. Between all the cons going on, and money laundering, and family rivalries, not to mention law breaking, things are confusing, and will need a hot iron to unwrinkle the issues. Looking forward to more, and ugh, a whole week till another Monday! Karyn
