Margene clomps across the yard, hauling her kids behind her in a wagon. She comes into Nicki's house and goes for the car keys, saying that she needs the car. Nicki laughs, "I don't think it's such a good idea, honey. The engine started making this ka-thunk-ka-thunk noise? Thank goodness it's still under warranty." This spins Margene up more: not only did Nicki hump Bill in her bed, now she's not letting her borrow the car. Margene wails about having to do a lot of shopping because she's not able to say anything about the sex. Nicki is all, "Wow! Overreact much?"

Meanwhile, at Henrickson Home Plus -- which looks to be doing not a whole lot of business for a Saturday, but maybe that's me being picky because I am a veteran of many weekend trips to hardware stores -- Bill is meeting with his security dude Ronnie. In short order, he drops the following on Ronnie: he thinks that crazed cult leader Roman and his goons will try to do harm to Bill himself or to his family, and the family in question is roughly three times larger than the nuclear unit commonly believed by alleged "family values" types to be the only acceptable model. Ronnie is rattled, but doesn't say anything or turn down the job.

And now we see Alby and an accountant going over monthly statements for the United Effort Brotherhood. It is a crazy amount of money -- we're talking $42.3 million -- and what's interesting is how many different revenue streams there are: a vending-machine company, a Sunny L, two mines, a tool and die firm, plus Henrickson Home Plus (the lightweight of the group with a paltry $271,012. But if that's 15\% of profits for the year, the one store pulled in $1.81 million in profits for a year. Not bad for a non-franchise unit). Anyway, Alby instructs the guy, "Here on out, endorse any payments that come in 'accepted under protest' and put them in escrow. Keep our hands clean on it for now until Papa decides how he wishes to proceed." Ooh, sneaky. I don't know if Utah is one of those states where you can still accept a payment under protest and keep the right to pursue the payee for the remainder of balance allegedly owed. It sounds like this is the strategy Alby's setting up so that they can go after Bill for what Roman thinks he's owed on future store profits.

Barb and her old station wagon pull up in front of a ranch house in a well-established neighborhood (you can tell because the trees are more mature). She rings a doorbell and a well-groomed middle-aged matron, Peg, is all, "What are you doing here?" Barb says she's in town for a cancer walk meeting, and asks somewhat sheepishly if she can come in.
