In this episode, we react to the explosive final season of Big Love — and wow, the Henricksons are truly in freefall. Now that they’re publicly out as a polygamist family, the backlash is intense, and the cracks in their relationships are impossible to ignore.

We break down everything from Marge’s underage marriage at 16, Barb’s spiritual awakening and desire for the priesthood, to Nikki’s desperate attempt to claim the “first wife” spot — even using her daughter’s adoption as a weapon. And of course, that wild final scene…

From our personal experiences with real-life polygamy, this finale hits hard — and shows that when it comes down to it, polygamy is often about power, control, and justifying anything “in the name of God.”
