With his swearing-in ceremony only days away, Bill
(Bill Paxton) searches for ways to overcome the anti-polygamist
sentiment swelling among state officials. Meanwhile, Barb’s (Jeanne
Tripplehorn) strategic attendance at a First Ladies’ fashion show
triggers lingering resentment between Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) and
Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) – and between Barb and Nicki. Rhonda
(Daveigh Chase) and exiled polygamist Verlan (Kevin Rankin) try to
shake down Alby (Matt Ross); Margene and Pam (Audrey Wasilewski) find
their niche with Goji Blast and Michael Sainte (Grant Show); Nicki

Bill makes a deal in the Senate, but finds new
obstacles to his livelihood being raised by LDS officials. Fed up
with interning, Barb considers a dramatic life change that could have
far-ranging consequences for the family. A legal obstacle hinders
Bill and Nicki’s efforts to adopt Cara Lynn. Margene preaches the
Goji gospel; Rhonda encourages Verlan to do Alby’s bidding; Lois longs
for her old life with Frank (Bruce Dern); Don (Joel McKinnon Miller)

Barb capitulates on Bill’s marital plans, but not on
her hopes to attain the priesthood. To shore up her case, she enlists
ex-Mormon feminist Renee Clayton (Judith Ivey), much to her mother
Nancy’s (Ellen Burstyn) chagrin. Meanwhile, Bill faces new
impeachment pressure in the senate, and scrambles for new clients in
the wake of LDS boycotts of his stores. With her eye on a new prize,
Nicki chafes at the status quo. Margene eyes a sponsor for her
pro-polygamy children’s rally; Cara Lynn puts in extra hours with her
tutor, Greg (Christian Campbell); Alby vows to combat Safety Net with
a purification program of his own; Bud Mayberry (Robert Patrick) warns
Bill of an imminent threat. Reunited by Bill, Frank and Lois strike a
deal; Heather makes a decision that deflates a vulnerable Ben.

Debut: SUNDAY, FEB. 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Bill eyes a wedding as a chance to reseal his
commitment to his three wives, though Barb remains skeptical. In the
meantime, Nicki looks to take full advantage of her special day. Alby
makes a game-changing power play; Lois resists Barb’s vision of her
future; Marge is cautioned about the financial pitfalls of Goji Blast;
Cara Lynn brings a guest to the theater; Heather changes her mind
about Ben.

Written by Aaron Allen; directed by David Petrarca.
