Never drive with your penis, no matter how hard it may be! 
What’s up with the missionaries writting Nikki’s address? Heather’s fun.
OK, what the hell is up with Alby Grant? He had to know why that guy went to a hotel room with him, and then he gets all crazy. ???
Guess Bill really isn’t into Nicki, huh?
So what was the assignment Roman gave to Alby? What it to have sex with that guy? How did that figure into Roman’s schemes?
I’m starting to think Alby was molested as a child. Why weren’t Bill & Barb angrier at Sarah for bringing a friend home and outing them? Bill’s whole family has been evicted, not just Lois and Joey.
That was so bizarre. Did Roman just want to get Alby out of his hair for a couple of days? Can’t wait to find out why Alby has a motel room on standby.
The knife and the duct tape? Were they for the pickup guy, but Alby decided not to use them? Or is he going to kidnap one of Bill’s kids later?
The intro had a warning for Violence, but if there was any, I missed it.
At first I thought the guy Alby met up with was going to rough up Bill and Co. or something. But then when I saw where it was going, I was just 
I can’t remember if this has been discussed in the other threads, but who can prove that Bill’s doing anything other than having affairs, or supporting three families?
If he didn’t get government-issued marriage licenses and marry Nickie and Margene, he hasn’t broken any laws. Isn’t it just the lumber-buying public that he’s worried about?
And what was the knife for? Just had it on hand to make a coupla sandwiches? This episode just raised waaaay too many confusing questions.
I almost expected to later see the random guy Alby picked up rolling down Bill’s street taped into an office chair and on fire a la Red Dragon, or something. :eek:
But then all he does is break into the store and get caught on purpose and look smug about it? Huh?
Now that I think about it, I suspect that the picked-up guy was supposed to do the break-in. Perhaps Alby had no idea that he would try some gay stuff on him.
I assumed that Alby’s assignment from Roman was to break into Bill’s office and perhaps get caught intentionally to send Bill a message, but I doubt it. I suspect that was just Alby’s usual incompetence.
Picking up the tough guy was his own idea, acting out on tendencies that he has been repressing, but still couldn’t follow through on. The going crazy thing was clearly an act that he used just to freak the guy out and make him leave, because he snapped out of it the second tough guy left.
I suspect that Alby has done this once or twice before, although clearly without consummating it. Further speculation:
Alby’s “weakness” will somehow become a chip in Bill’s battle against Roman.
I kinda took that as Barb’s revenge, since she’s not real happy with the idea of Nikki having another baby. She comes back into the motel room and jumps Bill, effectively wearing him out, knowing that it’s supposed to be Nikki’s nite because she’s ovulating.
Why on earth didn’t Barb tell Bill about the credit cards?
Do we know what the policy is for the kids telling their friends about polygamy? If I recall, when we first met Sarah’s friend (Heather?), their other coworkers already knew about it.
How did the missionaries know about polygamy? Or was that just a shot in the dark?
Did anyone else freeze-frame the list of birthdates? There must have been a typo, because they list both Barb and Nickie as being born in 1974, Ben in 1985.
Still, I’m really really enjoying the show.
Where have I seen the actor who plays the neighbor before?
Well, she did quote Mormon scripture to them. So they leave, think about it a bit, confused as to why she knows the Book of Mormon. They know that she must have been involved with the church at some point, or is closely tied to it somehow. Take into account the way she looks, and they deduce that she’s a polygamist. That’s what I took from it anyway. I also suspected that them writing down the address wasn’t them “writing her off,” rather that they will out her to the church as a polygamist.
I’m not quite sure what to make of the situation with Albie.
I think Bill’s right: Everything is unraveling, and it’s not going to be pretty.
He was Ramon, the pool boy on Seinfeld.
The neighbor was also a Buffy villain. In the episode (I think it was titled) “Anne”.
I really liked this episode. I think the show creators (two gay males) quite possibly have NO clue how to write teenage boys or they have really bizarrely skewed experiences. Much like the whole “I have a boner!” scene from the second or third episode… No straight teenage boy I know or knew would whip out his erect piece to amuse his friends…
I assume Alby’s mission was to do the breakin and to get caught. The cruiser guy was just extra for him. I figure he probably picked up guys several times but has never gone through with it.
I figure Barb and Nickie are going to try to solve the credit card problem themselves first before telling Bill about it.
I think the real trouble may be the blonde PR woman. She and Dan have something going… Is she the woman he’s dating? Or does she not know he’s a polygamist? It will be interesting.
Yeah, I had to tell my wife that yes, I was once a teenage boy, and NO we didn’t do anything like that when I was in High School.
How long does Barb have for lunch, and doesn’t she ever have duty?
It seemed to me that building the advertising campaign around the idea that the owners and managers of the Home Plus stores are local Mormons could end up hurting them if it’s revealed that Bill and Dan are polygamists and not members of the LDS church.
As a former teenage boy, I agree completely that boys wouldn’t behave that way, or at least wouldn’t have 100 years ago, when I was a teenager. Who knows what kids these days are like?
I can’t check my recording at the moment, but ISTR that this episode was written by two women.
That’s been bothering me, too. Every teacher I’ve ever known has gotten about 20 minutes for lunch. Basically, enough time to eat a quick sandwich in the teacher’s lounge. Even if she did get a whole hour, there’s no way Barb would have enough time to drive to a hotel, strip down, have sex with Bill, get dressed again, and get back to school in time for her next class.
Also agree that the teenage boy whipping his penis out in a car full of boys is unrealistic. No guy I knew at that age would be caught dead doing stuff like that.
