TV Review: Big Love - "Damage Control" Part 2 - Page 2

Part of: Big Love

Juniper Creek.  Adaleen, Roman’s wife and Nicki’s mother, is watching a news story about a fugitive polygamist, whose name is approximately Orline Abbott.  He’s on America’s Most Wanted List for trafficking underage girls over state lines.  Roman walks over and bitches about these “stupid, greedy perverts ruining it for the rest of us.”  Well, there’s just nothing I can say about that. 

Then we cut to a weird scene where there’s this crazy woman outside some assembly hall, screaming about how Roman is the one true Prophet and everything else is sin and crap.  I … don’t even know what she’s talking about.  Why is she even here?  She needs to get off my screen before I start drinking.  And it’s not even noon. 

We see Joey, Wanda and Lois approaching, so this is apparently Wanda’s hearing.  She’s clinging to Joey like a little kid and it’s pretty sad.  Lois tells Crazy Lady to shut up.  Heh.  Lois kicks ass. 

Inside, Wanda is standing in front of everyone and Roman is telling her to answer the questions on the questionnaire.  Wanda says it was in the morning and she doesn’t recall what Alby was wearing.  Why does it matter what he was wearing?  Curious minds want to know.   

Then, out of nowhere, “LIES!”  Joey and Lois jump in their seats.  Hee.  Alby comes rolling in to the hearing, decked out with the latest trendy wheelchair.  For a dead guy, he’s looking pretty good.

As he rolls down the aisle, he babbles about witnesses seeing his truck outside her cabin for 6 hours and then seeing her and Lois driving his truck.  Oh noes.  Then he gets all smug.  “You didn’t know that, did you?” 

You know, if Alby wasn’t so creepy, he’d be kinda hot.  What?  I’m just saying. 

Wanda could not care less about Alby and his wheelchair and says she’ll just have to stand by what she’s already said.  Alby then stands up and turns to the audience, asking who else was involved in the attempted murder of him.  What’s really funny is that behind him, Wanda is all leaning to one side so that she can still get a good view of the Alby Show. 

Sister Wife Central.  Piano music plays, as Barb does her crossword and tells Nicki that dinner was delicious.  Nicki has the decency to say that Margie helped.  Barb looks over at her kids and it turns out that Ben is playing the piano.  Did we know that he could play?  I don’t think we did.  Sarah is watching him and Teeny is singing “Hound Dog.”  The girl has good taste.  And hee.
