Winter will be the theme, this season, and the show ends with a snowfall. There's a little fall from grace for all three wives, too. Barb buys a bottle of wine - not against traditional Christianity, as Barb points out to Nicki, but contrary to Mormon teaching, as Nicki points out to Barb. Nicki has shorter hair than last year, and a still short temper, but I didn't blame her one bit when she verbally lashed out at a kid who wrote all over her son. Margene's feeling the heat, too, as she loses her hard-won job, and curses out a guy on a news crew who sticks a microphone too close to her face.
All of this, of course, is due to Bill's going public with his polygamous family at the end of last season. His family's suffering, he's suffering, his store is suffering. The tension between him and Don continues, and it's likely to get only worse, given the romance starting between Don's son and Nicki's daughter. (Romantic that I am, I'm glad to see it.)
But there's political hope at the end. The Henrickson are having an open house. No one comes by. And then ... a few people do show up, appreciative of what Bill has done for them, by going public.
I expect a lot more than a few viewers will love this final season of one of the best shows ever on television.
My favorite line in tonight's episode: Bill doesn't "give a flaming heck about the Boy Scouts." And here's a little North to Alaska for you ...
