[JJ77]

ep 40 preview break down:

The wives are sitting at a table and Nicki is seen knocking over her chair (in anger?) as she hurriedly leaves the table & house. Margene puts her hands to her head, Barb looks shocked.
----
Barb to Bill: "are we a family that makes decision together?"
Bil: " we're a family that moves forward as one"
-----
Bill to Margene:" I dont want our family to be a weapon to stifle your growth but it's not something you can throw away when you want to either."
----
shot of margene at a podium (?) with VSN monitor behind her looking like she's about to give a speech (?)
----
Nickie talking to Alby on the phone
NIcki:"Are you sealing JJ to mama?"
Alby : "leave the past to the past sister, no good can come of it."
we see a shot of Adaleen wearing a nightgown and JJ in a robe behind her entering a dark room (bedroom?)
----
Bill to Marilyn:"you're nothing but a money changer in the temple. dont think you can use my wife to get at me."
Marilyn to Bill " Heaven only knows what she's doing with a horses ass like you."

So between the preview and the breif episode synopsis :
" ana resurfaces with a surprise revalation, ben goes south of the border"
here are my predictions, lemme' know what you think

Ben is going to follow his dad's "lost boy" path and find himself in some kind of trouble with the border bird smuggling he'll be doing for Lois. This could be what takes Bill to mexico - as many interviews with the writers have cited him doing this season.

Bill is going to tell margene that saying she was a single mom, etc on tv was not acceptable and make her publicly denounce her previous statements on-air.

Barb isnt feeling this whole "life changing" experience of coming out after election. None of the other wives are either - which is where the " are we a family who makes decisions together?" comment comes into play.

I think wanda's "terrible foreboding" is going to be her way of telling Nicki that JJ molested her and is doing / going to do the same to cara lyn. So Nicki litterally comes in to take cara lyn out of there.

Ana is working at the casino - Bill may even have known about it. when ana says "oh crap" she has a "I'm busted" look about her & then when she says "Bill" her voice raises almost like she's inviting him to explain. Instead he says (very fake) " nice to see you again" b/c he doesnt want barb to know *something* about the whole ana situation. Could it be he has continued to see her? Or maybe just helped her out by giving her a job? what?
Bill definitely doesnt look shocked to see her. (watch it again and look)

I could be completely wrong about any of these theories... just my guesses. what's yours?

[BigLoveRocks!]

I think Adaleen is spying on JJ and has ulterior motives...

I think you are right on about everything too.

I bet JJ has molested Caralyn and that is why Nikki goes crazy. I also think either Wanda tells Nikki or JJ has convinced Alby to assign Wanda to another husband or to send her far away like he has threatened to do in the past.

[sewitgoes]

I agree with you, BLR...and I wonder what Adaleen has in mind for JJ...if he did molest CaraLynn, I'm sure he probably did so with others....maybe Wanda? I remember Lois saying something to Wanda when Joey Jr was born about "this one will survive" or something to that effect...perhaps she had a baby that died...a baby her own brother fathered? it would explain allot of odd things (Wanda included)

[dsc6]

I think I remember that Joey and Bill had a sister who died.

[missym]

I think that sister you're talking about committed suicide because she didn't want to be sealed to whomever.

[JJ77]

Yeah I thnk her name was margret or charlotte or something like that ... anyone recall?
it was addresses either in the same ep / soon afgter the ep where nicki's being married off to JJ comes out (via wanda). I remeber Jopey telling Bill that she had called him, and then Bill calling his mom to confront her / ask her about it.

[charlottelaurie]

Her name was definitely Margaret, and we first heard about her in the first season. As I recall, Bill and Lois mention it (I think one of them lashes out at the other about it), and Lois tells Sarah about it when she (Lois) is in the bubble bath, when she's staying at Bill and Barb's. Lois tells Sarah that's when she cut off her hair.

[southernsong]

Margaret was Bill and Joey's sister who died by drowning in Lake Mead. We did first hear about her in season one when Lois was in the bathtub talking to Sarah. We heard about her again in season 3 when Joey speculated that it wasn't an accident, but suicide. She didn't want to be married, but Roman married her off anyway. This was when Joey was in Dallas and unable to get back to Juniper Creek to help her.


When Lois helped Deliver Joey Jr., she did tell Joey that this one would live. However, if you recall the first season, Wanda was calling Bill to tell him that Frank was dying. Bill told her that he was very busy and Wanda replied that she was busy too. I believe she said, "Joey and I are having another baby and we're married now." Therefore, we do know that Wanda was pregnant before and that it was Joey's. I also saw this as a sign that she got pregnant out of wedlock the first time.

***************************POSSIBLE SPOILER*************

























According to www.tvfanatic.com, in this episode we meet Dales' wife Mary ".. a very typical, very likable Mormon housewife." She is described as "just the kind of woman you’d expect someone as good as Dale to be involved with. And we’ll meet one of his sons who is about 6 years old."

Alny's wife Laura's suspicions regarding Alby’s frequent absences will begin "to eat away at her". She will definitely notice "that he has mixed business going on."

thanks for marking your post clearly as spoiler
May be better to start a new topic for spoilers though than to add them to non-spoiler threads, just to be on the safe side

[frazzz]

Thanks, JJ77, I wish you would add a spoiler thread. I don't know how to "hide" spoilers by blacking them out like they do on the TwOP boards, so a special spoiler thread would be GREAT! They also use spoiler threads there, too, so they don't get mixed in with regular conversations, but there's a way to black them out, also. I'm a "spoiler slut," I'll read every one I can find!!! But I would never share one unless there was a place for it.

[arosieworld]

I want a spoiler thread too! I want to hear all of frazzzz's secret spoilers

[JJ77]

I just put up a seperate board just for spoilers. I also moved the existing spoiler threads over there to help get it started and cut back on confusion. Hopefully that makes the "spoiler" issue less of one for all

Thanks for the suggestion !
