That was a great scene, particularly for Jeanne.  You can really feel how desperate she’s getting. 

On the phone, Joey and Lois panic about Wanda and basically demand that Bill fix it.  Lois goes as far as blaming Bill for the whole situation. You know, sometimes I forgive Bill for his assy behavior because he has to put up with this lot.  

Bill’s going to send them an actual attorney and basically threaten Roman with the State coming in to Juniper Creek.  Lois just doesn’t want to go to jail. 

Barb sits in her car for a few moments before starting it up and presumably leaving.

Sister Wife Central.  Bill, Marg, Nicki, Wayne and one of the other little boys (no, I don’t know which one) watch TV.  The phone rings and Margie gets it.  She walks slowly into the living room and hands Teeny, who is sitting on the floor, the phone.  She sits down and looking straight ahead, like she’s scared something horrible is going to happen, whispers, “It’s Barb.  She’s left.”  She’s at Peg and Don’s and she’s not coming home.  She needed some space.  “From who?” Nicki asks, but by the way her and Margie both look at Bill, I think we know the answer. 

Bill tells Teeny to give him the phone and Margie warns him in this hysterical, almost sing-song voice, “She doesn’t want to talk to you.”  Nicki takes charge and just grabs the phone from Teeny, which was rude. 

Barb: I cannot deal with him tonight, Nicki.
Nicki: Fine.  But come back, stay at my house and we’ll just lock the doors and we won’t let him in. 

HAH!  Only, it’s kind of ruined when she looks at Bill and shakes her head all, “Not really, baby!”

Embry House.  Don knocks and Barb turns to look at him.  She’s clearly in one of the kids’ bedrooms and – Beaver!  Oh, how I’ve missed me some Kyle Gallner.  He says he needs his cleats and ducks into his closet to get them.  Barb waves awkwardly.

Margie is now on the other phone.  “But you’re gonna come back, right?” Margie asks.  Nicki piles on with, “You can’t just walk out on this marriage just because you’re mad at Bill.  You’re throwing Marg and me out with the bath water.  How do you think that makes us feel?  Awful!  Irrelevant!”
