What did Ben mean when he told Caralyn she looked really nice?
Was he like hitting on her a bit or did he just mean she looked nice in normal clothing?
They seem to have formed a bond too.

I was trying to figure that out too.

I took it as her looking nice in noraml clothing, since they'd just had a conversation about it being hard to fit in.

I think there could be something there. But, yeah, I think it was about the clothing too.

Maybe it was hard for him to see past her prairie clothes and hair bump before. It makes her seem like all the other compound girls... and now she's becoming more relatable. But I definitely took it as more than just about her clothes... I saw it as he was kind of seeing her for the first time.

I think they are prepping us for something. It could be as easy as JJ demanding that she be sealed and Alby sealing her to Ben as a compromise. It would be a permanent solution. It takes Cara permanently away from JJ and puts her in her mother's sphere. It isn't legal, but nothing on this show is legal.
Ben would do it to be gallant. Cara would agree because she has no choice. Alby would do it because he does have affection for Nicki and by extension Cara Lynn. He could say to JJ, "You wanted her sealed. She is sealed. This is her new priesthood holder, you are out of this. Have a nice day."
And it opens up the can of worms that they will be sealed, but they won't sleep together. This might be easy to work with when she is 14, it might be harder when she is 17 and hot.

I think it was her bump missing for the first time from her french braid. She was sitting in Washington on the hotel bed looking at the caricature of her and this is the first time she has worn her hair differently that we have seen. It was probably the writers way of getting us to notice that while all this other stuff is going on Caralyn is still changing on the inside.

I think they're building up to a possible relationship between Cara Lynn and Ben. I think it'll be harmless between the two of them, but it'll be interesting to see how Bill and Nicki interpret it.

I am glad to see a discussion going about this, thanks BigLoveRocks!! Yes, I do think that it is possible that something will develop between Ben and Cara Lynn. Hopefully we will see this play out soon! I do think that JJ will try to seal her off to someone and Ben may come to her rescue!! That would be awesome!

at least if they "seal" her to Ben it wouldn't be as creepy as if they sealed her to say Frank...they seem to like the creep factor

I don't think JJ would allow her to be sealed to Ben. Women are a commodity. The reason why he dotes on her so, and does not want Nikki to take her, is her value in securing a relationship with whoever she is sealed to.
However I do think there is something developing.

I'm wondering if Ben and Caralyn start dating or whatever how Margene is going to handle it.. I mean I really think that might set something off inside of her because its obvious she needs time away from Bill and the sister wives

Ok, just for argument's sake - If Ben starts dating cara lyn isnt he dating his "sister" ? Nickie is his "mom" right? granted none of it is blood ties... but it is their family structure. So how is this any better than Ben ending up with Margene? Is it ok because cara Lyn is only his fake "sister" but margie is his fake "mom" ? The age difference between ben and cara lyn is about the same as that between ben and margene. So how is this ok, but that's not - or what is it that makes the possibility seem 'more' ok ?

Why would anyone think that a relationship based on marital ties would stop them? This is a group where incestuous marriages are commonly found. And since Ben and Caralyn have not been raised as siblings, their getting together does not even raise much of an "ewww". I would not be surprised for some sort of relationship to develop between the two of them.

It raises as much of an "ewww" for me for me as Ben and margene did... it's just too weird.
(It also makes me think Ben needs to get out more! LOL )
