The show opens with a wholesome date complete with a roller skating waitress at an old fashioned drive up diner, where Bill has brought Ana. He's making small talk about the Weather Channel. He doesn't know how boring this is, I suppose, and Nikki pops her head between them, looking for fries. Her kid's back there too. What did the polygamists do before minivans? Dating would've been a disaster, no? Barb rears her head to ask Ana if she enjoys gardening. I can't believe that Ana hasn't run screaming yet.

Bill and Margene are doing it. She's really into it, and then all cute and cuddly like, she taps him on the shoulder and tells him to pull out. He ignores her. Tap tap, pull out. She's ignored again. Then she more or less tells him that she is not kidding around here Bill, pull the hell out. It's not my turn, so knock someone else up. Hey, while we're on the subject, how is your sex life with Nikki? She hasn't been knocked up in four years. What's up with that shit? Bill is horrified. Can't a man get any privacy? Nunya. Nunya biz, Margene.

Bill and Barb are in the kitchen, discussing the week's events: Teeny's athletic camp, more dates with Ana, Ben's flag bearer thing. Bill doesn't want to go to that shit though and asks Barb to cover it. Bill asks Barb why she thinks Nikki hasn't been knocked up in four years, to which Barb has no response. Here's my guess: since Nikki is evil, I would reason that it is no coincidence that she hasn't gotten pregnant. She's either on birth control, or she had her tubes tied or she's giving herself abortions in the garage while Barb gardens and Bill watches the Weather Channel. Nobody would notice if she spent the night crying and looking like she was in pain, she usually looks this way.

Ana is on the phone with Margene complaining about how boring her date was with Bill and his whole family. Hallelujah. I'm starting to like Ana. Margene says something about it not being what she's used to. Yeah, Ana is used to regular dates. You know, dinner, dancing, wine, and the occasional roofie and date rape. Gardening? So boring. Margene pleads with her not to bounce before their next date and hangs up on her when a sports bar distracts her. She's feeling a beer while watching the game, I guess.

Adaleen is fretting about the two "Jane Doe's", the girls the state has dug up to testify against Roman, the prophet. If Roman were such a great Prophet, wouldn't he know that already? Rhonda, the incredibly coy and manipulative fifteen year old that we haven't seen yet this season, is one such Jane Doe, so I guess we can just call her Rhonda now, and not Jane. Adaleen bitches to Nikki that she should've been able to track her down, and they went to a lot of trouble to place her in such a covert spot. Cut to Nikki taking her hidden birth control. So much for my abortion in the garage theory.

Cathy hangs up the phone while Joey stands near and Wanda plays a creepy song on a Casio like organ. Cathy is the other Jane Doe, and she wants to tell Wanda all about it, but Joey knows better. C'mon now, Wanda poisons people for kicks. How could Cathy sit there and listen to that bizarre music and think it's a good idea to tell her a big secret? She's a little unstable. They're screwed either way, she's got one eyebrow cocked like she's already hip to their secret.

Barb's in a hospital getting tests done when a nurse tells her she'll have to stay overnight. Bill will have to kick it to one of the other wives that night. Barb is back at home unpacking groceries when Margene glides in, beaming, because she just sold a bunch of video poker machines. Barb thinks that would be great, except that she was supposed to be home hours ago to relieve Nikki from watching all the children, and Nikki's crazy pissed. Barb brings up that Nikki hasn't been pregnant in a while, and Margene makes clear that she is not having the next baby.
