Will They Or Won't They?

Late that night, Rhonda's asking Sarah if she'd like to pray together. Sarah explains that she doesn't really do that so much anymore. So Rhonda's show Evening Devotion: A Comedy of Manners will be a monologue. She recites, "Heavenly Father, thank you for this lovely day, and thank You for letting me attend this lovely tournament. I know you will help me succeed. And thank you for bringing me close again to my step-niece and granddaughter-in-law, Sarah." Said step-niece (does this mean Rhonda's related to Wanda somehow?) and granddaughter-in-law looks righteously wigged by this. Rhonda then petitions the Lord to keep tabs on Roman (God: "Already on it. And not for the reasons you think.") As the girls settle down, Rhonda attempts to poison the well by saying sweetly that Sarah shouldn't trust Heather. Sarah just rolls her eyes at the little iPod thief and snaps off the light. Rhonda comments to the dark and quiet room how nice it is to listen to the hum of the air conditioning. Ah, Roman. How are you going to keep them down on the compound once they've seen the big suburban lights?

Over at Nicki's, bedtime preparations are afoot. Nicki tells Bill that Stuart Kimball just tried him on the cell phone, and that segues right into a spat about the Leadership League. Nicki's opposed to the idea: "You up there in the Leadership League and Barb parading around on some Fourth of July float as mother of the year? What happens to me and Margie in this picture? What happens to us as a family?" Bill protests, "Barb just got through dealing with her sister. You know that makes her feel like you-know-what. And she's completely cut off from her mother. I understand why she needed this...my joining the League translates to putting food on the table. All of our tables." Nicki wants to know if this is about money and Bill protests, "It's not about money! It's about dreams." Nicki shoots back that Bill's putting his dreams before the welfare of his family. Bill protests that he's doing this for the welfare of his family, and Nicki shouts, "Which family? The family you had seven years ago, or the family you have now?" Bill says exactly the wrong thing with, "You're hypersensitive. Being the second wife is what you're upset about." Nick gets the last word by flushing the toilet as Bill showers. Bill jumps around in protest. Great! Here I had been thinking, "I feel like I only know what Bill Paxton's ass looks like in still life. If only I had a motion study..."
