The Second Chance
The polygamists stick around for one more day to fix their RV.
Virginia had no intention of letting Mike live in a pup tent while listening to Richard Marx. He was invading her laundry room slash chick cave. Seeing how quickly Jimmy was sucked in by the cult, it gave her an idea how to get rid of Mike and the others, by helping him redeem himself with a little song and visual presentation.
Burt learned why his brother Bruce thought he was a loser all this time. By being too nice to Mike, Bruce lost his son. Burt needed to find a way to bring Mike back. Again we got to see Burt think so hard, he only thinks of the word think. He does come up with an idea, cooking up a kidnapping hoax to get help from the police, telling them the cult took Hope. He just didn't count on being thrown in jail for thirty days.
In the end, Burt redeemed himself too by reuniting father and son.
Where was Maw Maw in all this? She was playing hide-and-go-seek and boo-ya-ing for days, on the roof, under a lamp shade, and in the fireplace, before finally coming out of hiding.
