My heart so went out to margene this episode. Could she be screaming any louder and Bill still not hear her?!?
I just wanted to get your take on her breakdowns this episode.
The first being her on-air breakdown -
" because i know how much authenticity means to you..." and then it began. My heart broke for her, it really did. When she says (all smiles) " My Husband..." and then the smile breaks " abandoned me." and continues... I just thought wow - she might be just as messed up as everyone else , but atleast she's being honest about it , if nothing else with herself.
Then the elephant suit breakdown -
I was proud of Margene for finally coming clean with Bill, but mostly for coming clean with herself. ya know?
I just wonder where this is going to lead her? If she'll break free , or break down and try to make it work - out of guilt? maybe?
I dunno...

Maybe she'll find herself a nice guy closer to her age who will love her for something other than sex.

I felt horrible for her in both scenes. I think that the reality of her situation has finally dawned on her. Before she was happy with just being in a family, but now that she's becoming successful, she needs someone who is going to support the work that she does and be there for her. Ben has done that for her, while Bill has not. I think that that moment on television she finally realized how she really feels, and that's abandoned. It's too bad that no one else in the family was watching that.
I wonder if she came clean to Bill because of her conversation with Ben. Ben asked her when she'd grow up, and it was very grown up of her to admit to being the one who initiated the kiss.
I hope, though not optimistic, that Margene and Bill take the time to really handle the situation and the obvious underlying issues that led to the kiss. I would be really disappointed, though I am expecting it, if they just sweep the issue under the rug and only deal with the superficial issue of Ben being a threat to his dad. There is an opportunity for Bill to really connect with Margene and try to rekindle the spark that brought them together, but he has to be willing to do the actual work.

Maybe marge belongs with that guy that the neighbor tried to fix her up with. He was head over heals for her and thought she had four kids. SO I think he will take her with some baggage....

Well crisse198334 welcome to the board! As far as your comment about that guy the nieghbor tried to fix Margene up with.... there has been no sign of the neighbors in this season, so I doubt that thought has crossed Margene's mind. She would probably be better off living her own life and finding love in a monogamous relationship later on down the line. It is not really clear whether she is still in love with Bill; she was obviously hurt by him and he shows no signs of fixing it. But, we shall see!

I think everything that margene said in her on-air breakdown was what she really felt. From the the line "My husband" on.
I agree that margene was just content and happy to be part of a family initially. She may have even remained in that state of contentment if she still felt like she WAS part of a family.
I think it has a whole lot more to do with that than her career or business success. I think her business was a good way for her feel some independence but it also was a place to focus all of her energy ("selling shiny things"), and divert from the fact the family was falling apart.
She feels abandoned all over again... just as her confession said.

Yes, the on-air breakdown was heartbreaking. I'm wondering if Bill is even aware that it happened. I'm also wondering if that blonde shark at the tv station is going to fire Margie for that.
I'm not sure Margene ultimately belongs with Ben, who, after all, wants to be a polygamist like his dad. But I would like to see her doted on as the ONLY wife of someone!

Margene broke my heart. But I have hope for her. She is in the best position to move on with her life, if she could see her way clear to being alone for a bit.
She can't be with Ben. I love Ben too, but it is still not healthy for either of them or Margene's children.
I know we are being set up for a Barb/Tommy thing, but I think Margene would be happiest with a guy like Tommy. He is bright, young, handsome and passionate. They'd be a good match, she is already thought well of on the reservation and she has her own business ties there.
But GG did an awesome job this week. I

Well, I knwo "somebody" on this board has been dying for some tommy and Barb action... but I'm pretty sure she'd settle for any kind of Tommy action lol Never thought about that possibility. I think margene is going to be too guilt ridden and broken up for awhile for anything to happen this seaosn though.

I don't think that Margene will be fired. I think that her breakdown made her even more sympathetic to her viewers. I think that what will happen is that her boss might have fleetingly thought about firing her, but that her jewelry orders after the breakdown will end up skyrocketing. ;D
I REALLY want her to leave Bill.
I don't think she will end up with Ben permanently, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of fling happening between the two of them.

Agreed...
I want Margene to leave Bill too. He still sees her as a babysitter and a fucktoy.
I would love to see a Margene and Ben fling!!!

I wondered about that - but I'm pretty sure the audience will love her for it. And the blonde shark loves the audience! |

Margene will get called into the office-the lady will say "margene we have a problem" and margene will start to cry......... then the lady says "we got two million orders to fill" lol... something like that. I bet her sales went thru the roof. |
