We all agree that there is not enough time to resolve all the threads for the secondary characters. Let's write our own endings for the secondary characters.
Joey, Wanda, and JoDean
Wanda is drinking punch at the reception after Frank's funeral. Wanda is obviously pregnant. Nikki walks up to her.
Nikki: Wanda, where have you been? You're pregnant! Where is Joey?
Wanda: He's in Bountiful with JoDean. Her babies are due any day now, and they couldn't come to the funeral so I did. I was so scared, Nikki, after the fire. I was afraid my parents would come looking for me. We ran away.
Nikki: JoDean is pregnant, too? Were you sealed?
Wanda: Oh, they're not Joey's babies, they are Frank's.
Nikki: Oh no, Wanda, this is terrible. Frank had VD. They all had it. Those babies will be deformed.
Wanda: JoDean didn't have it. When Barb called and told Frank's wives, they all got tested. Only the old ones had it. Frank knew he had it. He got cured, but he didn't tell his wives. That's why he would only, you know, do it with the young wives, the ones after he got cured. He told the old ones there was no point, they couldn't have babies anyway. Nikki, we're gonna be sealed. JoDean is a good person and I love her.
Nikki: Mercy.

Well that's a neat scenario. Definitely more like the characters then mine would be...For Joey and Wanda. In the same setting at yours, Frank's Funeral.
Scene starts off with Joey and Bill seeing each other at the funeral, Wanda standing at Joey's side. Joey immediately looks away to escape Bill's eye.
(at the reception) Bill walks over to Joey, Wanda is getting a drink for her and the little one.
Bill- Joey, I need your help, I know we had our problems- (He's cut-off)
Joey- Problems, Is that what you call them? Problems are things like running out of gas or getting your electric turned off. We didn't have problems Bill, we had life crises. One's you've failed to deal with- He's cut-off
Bill- Joey! I need your help, please to listen to me. I'm on fur- Cut off
Joey NO! You will listen to now, I've listened to you long enough. (Bill remains silent and shocked) I never wanted polygamy, I only wanted Wanda. You pushed me! pushed me until I fell for someone that my original desires would have NEVER allowed. Then Roman takes her from me, in part to get at you. You're a coward. Always will be.
Bill-- Joey- I'm on Furlough from prison. My family is torn apart please just be there as much as you can. I don't know why God gave us this hardship to go through but his testimony tells me that you will help pull us through.
Joey- I don't believe in prophets or the testimony of man anymore Bill, I only believe in the salvation of Christ's departure and the love of God. Those words spoken by man mean nothing to me now.
Bill- You left the church?! Joey you can't just -Cuts off
Joey- I already have. Wanda and I have both left. We seek the refuge in Christs love and the glory of God all on it's own. (In a very strong and fierce voice) We have both turned our sins and our hearts over to God through Jesus Christ, we have finally forgiven ourselves and will NEVER look back from that.
Bill- Joey, I can't help but think you're making a mistake
Joey- Well look at where your testimony got you!
Bill- No one knows about Roman's death, you could be here too!
Joey- Roman died? News to me..
Bill (angrily says)- You know he died!
Joey- My own sins are between be and God, don't try to manipulate me. I already told you, the words mean nothing. I'm a new man.
Bill- Joey, whatever. I'll always be your brother- Cuts off
Joey- Only when it count's right?? Look Bill, I'll be there for your family as much as I can not because you expect it or God's testimony but because it's the Christian thing to do. I'll look for Barb and talk to her. You were lucky to have her and I'll do what I can, don't expect visits from me or for me to return to the church. I have one wife and God now...
He walks away leaving Bill looking lost and stunned. Finds Barb.
--------------------
Sorry if written a little screwy. More to come. haha.

Rhonda gets saved and becomes a televangelist.
Bill has an accident that leaves him a quadriplegic and Nikki as the only legal wife. She moves him back to the compound and runs the compound as a regency until Wayne and Raymond are old enough to take over as joint rulers.
Ben becomes a polygamist on the compound and marries those twins who were looking for a righteous man. But conflicted about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he signs up for duty. He buys a lot of life insurance and is killed as soon as he gets there by friendly fire during an exercise. His wives sign over all the life insurance proceeds to Bill "the Prophet" who uses the money to convert Home Plus into FLDS workout spas for modest women who want to stay in shape. Don Embry's wife Peg is the Manager of the new Principle Workout Home Plus.
Gary Embry goes joins an elite team of mercenearies and works his way up to become better than Rambo. He finds Osama Bin Laden and brings him back to face justice. Before they can get there, he is ambushed by Bin Laden loyalists and singlehandedly defeats them all, but in the process Bin Laden is killed. Gary is hailed a hero and comes back to Sandy Utah and is elected Governor of Utah.
Sarah goes back to school, gets a masters in psychology and works with her mother Barb, who has completed her Phd and is bishop in the RLDS church. They run a non-profit for women seeking to escape fundamentalist marriage and also have counseling sessions for women who want to remain but need to know how to find a voice and a purpose aside from their men. They are constantly in the media and have written several books and are in talks for a movie about their lives.
Margene signs her kids over to Barb and Sarah and joins a cloistered convent.

Ben, Heather, Rhonda
Ben and Heather are in the food court at the mall.
Ben: Thank you Heather. I'm really, really glad you're willing to talk to me. I know I did the wrong thing. I sinned against you and Heavenly Father. I'm truly sorry. I would do anything to change it, but I can't change the past, I can only hope for a future with you.
Heather: You did what I asked you to do. You stayed away from me for four months. I've had time to think and pray. I talked to my parents and the Bishop. I know now that I do love you, Ben. I love you, but I have got to learn to trust you. My father gave me some good advice. He said, "You and Ben can wait four years to get married. Ben will be in the Navy and you can finish school and go on your mission. If Ben stays true to you and celibate for that time, it will mean he is a man with self control and you can trust him as your husband." Are you willing to do that, Ben?
Ben: Oh, yes. Heather! Heather! This is the best I could ever hope for! Yes, yes, I want to wait for you! I'm leaving tomorrow for the Navy. I'll write you every day. Oh, I love you Heather.
Enter Rhonda. She is pushing the baby stroller in front of her. As she approaches the table she turns the stroller aside revealing her baby bump.
Rhonda: Hi, Benny. Guess what?

Yes, I am also WWB on the HBO site. I stopped posting on that site when they changed it and it became so frustrating to use and read. I posted a scene about Nikki teaching Margene how to dress and another one about Rhonda on American Idol. Maybe more, I can't remember. Glad you enjoyed them. I'm still waiting for Mark and Will to send me an email and say they need me on the team. Maybe that's not going to happen?  Just kidding, of course. Maybe next time? |

I can only add that Cara Lynn will surely marry a middle aged tv executive and host her own chat show. |

I've always wanted Ana back into the Family. It would be nice to see Ana in the last episode bring back Bill and her baby and re-commit to the Family.

Adaleen:
Adaleen, Lura, Evie, the woman Nikki tried to rescue, and several other compound women are shopping in Home Plus. There carts are full of PCV pipes and joints. There are signs up all over the store saying "Close Out! Store Closing! All sales final." Don is overseeing the dismantling of shelves when he sees Adaleen and crew.
Don: Adaleen! We didn't know what happened to you after you got out of jail.
Adaleen: Well, the big house was sitting empty on the compound and all these women need somewhere to go. Some thief took all the plumbing, so we've got some work to do but we can fix it up.
Don: We? Who are you talking about? Have you been sealed again?
Adaleen: Sealed! Are you kidding? Do you think I would ever let myself be sealed after JJ? No, Heavenly Father gave me me a revelation that I was never to be sealed again to a man, only to women. Heavenly Father has taken away all my priesthood holders, Roman, JJ, Alby. It's obvious to me that it's all up to me now.
Don: What do you mean? You have to have a priesthood holder. You can't just have a bunch of women and children without the protection of a priesthood holder.
Adaleen: It's me, Don. That's what I am trying to tell you. Heavenly Father made me the priesthood holder! It may be a little unusual but that's the way it is. These women and children are under my care and guidance. (Turning to the women) Girls, let's go! We've got to get caulking before it's all gone.

Don Embry:
He dumps his shares in Home Plus at the right time: just before it declares bankrupcy. He stays on as an employee to oversee the closure. He's the last person left in the store and turns the keys over the landlord -- a member of the UEB.
Relieved from all of Bill's drama and the physical and emotional turmoil he's suffered, he now goes about rebuilding his life. He comes to terms with Verna and Jojo's leaving and finally accepts monogamy. He moves his remaining family to Las Vegas where he first met Bill. He gets an executive position at another Home Depot/Lowes type company and uses his modest profits from Home Plus to create a ministry for Lost Boys.
However, his past catches up to him. Home Plus' creditors start looking through the books, and see that he and Bill have been committing tax and labor fraud by listing their wives as employees to get them extra pay and benefits. The IRS launches a RICO investigation into Bill, Barb, Don, and his wife Peggy (she was Home Plus' accountant). He pleads a deal where he testifies against Bill and Barb in exchange for a commuted sentence. Barb goes to jail for fraud. Peggy also pleads but loses her accounting license. They nearly divorce, but after working things out they reconcile and renew their vows -- including "to foresake all others".
In the end he tells his sons that polygamy is a false path, to find just one woman and and love her and that will bring all the happiness they need in this life, and the next.

Just kidding, of course. Maybe next time?
