Bill organizes the Henrikson's to go to the block party. Teeny, Margene, Barb and Bill stand ostracized in front of their hot dog cart while all the other Mormon's laugh and have a good time. Nikki goes to work on her roof; she's such a martyr. Teeny runs home upset about something. Barb confronts one neighbor while Bill confronts another. As it turns out, Teeny was charging all the other kid's to look at dirty magazines and she got caught. Barb says, "That's it?" Please, this family is very accustomed to sexual deviance, that's nothing compared to the exposure they all were so afraid of. Unfortunately, Bill is already ripping into the other neighbor, not knowing all the fuss is about these nudie pics and not his multiple marriages. Margene and Barb try to quell Bill, who's getting a little crazy on the neighbors, to no avail.
Nikki interrupts to shout from the rooftop, literally, that she is the daughter of Roman Grant, and that she would do nothing to hurt the only people who have ever been nice to her. She also needed somebody to go and get her a ladder since the neighborhood rascals took it from her. She always has an angle. Barb, Bill and Margene rush over to tell Nikki how proud they are of her, and Ana comes on the scene to tell them all "she's ready, on their terms." I'm ready too, for a nap. That was a lot to take in...

Ladonna is Israeli. She mentioned being in a Kibbutz, a "camp-like" thing in which most young Israelis partake.
Also, you didn't mention that Frank thinks that his new wife is Bill's brother's second wife, but really it's her twin sister.

i think frank saying that his new wife-"sits, and fetches and rolls over" was a dig at lois. who refused to allow him to how to say it- enter in through her back door. i think that he is saying that his new wife does or that he makes her do it. at least that is how i read it and i thought it was rather disgusting because just forcing someone to do that is all sorts of wrong.

Is this show scripted or have I been missing some kind of AWESOME Mormon reality show??

The show is on HBO.... in its third season.
I have been a HUGE fan of Chloe Sevigny since the movie "Kids" and so I love Nikki.
I love that Nikki is true to her roots through and through and is the son that Alby can't be. She believes in the causes and would have been the heir apparent, had she been male, which is the counterpart to Alby, who is weak and powerless to his own urges.
Flo, I hadn't necessarily thought that Roman and Adelaide had paid the "Bear" to attack Alby, since in his previous attempts for some man-action, they've all ended badly. I just thought that the guy was gay bashed at a cruising spot. Although, this being episode one, I'm sure there's more to it.
Great recap. Thanks for recapping the show. I wish more people would comment to see what they think about this season!

I love to hate this show. Makes me happy that I am Baptist! Roman gives me the creeps. He also gave me the creeps 25 yrs ago when he played Molly Ringwald's dad in Pretty in Pink.

i love this show so much and am happy it's finally back. it took me awhile to remember everything that happened though. i had to watch it twice. the fourth wife thing is bugging me though. i don't like that he cheated on his three wives. hahah.
"I hadn't necessarily thought that Roman and Adelaide had paid the "Bear" to attack Alby, since in his previous attempts for some man-action, they've all ended badly. I just thought that the guy was gay bashed at a cruising spot. " slutty, the bear knew him by name. he got violent and said "hello, albee!" and then when the meeting with the mom happened she implied that she was responsible, which is so sick and kinda awesome.
the scene with nikki on the roof was absolutely priceless. it made me love her even more. i can't wait to see where all this leads. great job flo and welcome to the family!

I absolutely love this show and have watched it from the start. I don't like the fourth wife thing either. I love Bill's Mom. She's so mean and yet hilarious. And I love the fact that the little girl was selling peeps at porn to the neighborhood kids! Haha great recap!
