As Barb looked in at the re-sealing ceremony with Bill, Nicki, & Margene, I felt badly for her. It was her decision not to participate; however, I can't help but think she feels left out Your thoughts....

I think Barb felt hurt and left out -- but also, I think she realized that this was her choice not to participate in the re-sealing, and that she really is feeling more and more separated from her family, and that might have been why she was so sad.

I loved the music, "working @ the carwash", while Barb was being the hostess at the reception. She was certainly busy. Plus giving Nicki her wedding dress to wear. Barb is so giving to the entire family. She deserves so much more.

Barb is so giving to the entire family. She deserves so much more. Barb is very giving to her family but she is beginning to resent it and feel taken advantage of. When you let that happen, you need to step back and start to speak up. Barb is speaking up but she is still letting people take advantage of her. IMO, no one can take advantage of you unless you let them.

I also felt bad for Barb, but I was also a little angry that they didn't wait longer for her to decide whether or not she wanted to be re-sealed with them. How inconsiderate! After all she had to sacrifice for them, they couldn't wait? That was frustrating to watch.

Bill has moved on spiritually, but is this the breaking point for Barb? She said it didn't matter because she was already sealed to Bill, even if it was in the LDS. But she's the only wife Bill is in love with. Their passion for each other overtakes them at odd times and places.
he he, so I guess Nickie's wedding night is ruined!

Nikki got what she wanted all along: Legal marriage to Bill and a chance to be first wife. Barb definitely got the raw end of the deal.

True, Nickie got what she wanted, but Barb is now free, something I think she needed. Though I do think she was stung when she saw the sealing in secret.

Maybe she will realize that it's time to move on? I don't know. Next week should be interesting.

They asked her and she said she was not ready. Bill, Nicki and Margene felt that they needed to be resealed so they did it privately. Barb was never expected to see it.

I thought the resealing was a slap in the face to Barb. They couldn't possibly give it a couple of weeks. Then again, that isn't Bill's style. He decides he wants to do something and he is doing it that hour.
Honestly, I was a bit irritated with the writing, though. It was out of character for Margene to go through with this without Barb. She is the one who would have normally said that they need to wait until she is ready.

She is the one who would have normally said that they need to wait until she is ready. But Margene is really getting into "our faith" this season and she said that she did not really understand what she was doing when she was sealed to the family the first time. Margene is growing up and does not need Barb's approval as much anymore. I think her choosing to do this without Barb is a logical progression. Though possibly hurtful to Barb, Margene did it because she felt she needed to.

Nicki's behavior throughout the entire episode was despicable. Her manipulative skills are well honed and Bill is just too self involved to see the negative impact she has on her sister wives. Despite what he stated in the last episode, Bill allowed the "paper divorce" to become a full blown wedding ending in Nicki becoming the legal and first wife.
Yes, Margene has found religion but she's still very immature and impulsive. IMO, the mood moved her so she went along with the resealing... not intentionally trying to hurt Barb, but not even thinking that it might.
As for doing it in private... I think it was downright sneaky and disgusting. There was no reason to keep it from Barb as typically the majority rules in the Hendrickson marriage. As usual, Barb gave in to everyone... allowing the paper divorce, dress for Nicki, reception, etc. Her reward was to be slapped in the face by the resealing taking place IN HER BEDROOM.
I think she's finally had it with Bill and the marriage. After she witnesses the resealing she comes downstairs and shoots him an "I know what just happened" look when they make eye contact. The doorbell rings, the police ask her to step outside and I believe she goes with them voluntarily once she hears what they want to discuss.
She's finally had it...the indignity of what is coming up may be the final straw for this very moral and deeply religious lady.

I thought the look on Barb's face was disappointment that they would go ahead with the sealing without her. In their conversations it sounded like an all-or-nothing deal. We couldn't really expect Nikki or Margene to say no, we have to wait until Barb is ready, but Bill knew how badly this action would hurt Barb. That's why the secrecy. Bill is a great politician. He's always talking about "shared sacrifice," but no one ever sacrifices but Barb!

Hi everyone: This is my first time posting on this board. I've spent this season reading the boards, but never posting. I just couldn't resist on this topic. Last night was one of the saddest episodes for me to watch. I felt so bad for Barb when she had to see the "resealing." A true "slap in the face" to say the least. I wanted her to run down the stairs, get in her car and never look back. I have only two options that would make me happy in the final ending of this series. 1. Barb leaves Bill forever or 2. Bill leaves Nikki and Margene. They go on their way and find happiness and Bill finally has his testimony that "Polygamy" is wrong and re-marries only Barb. I won't hold my breath on my latter suggestion, but the episodes are finally getting good as it starts concluding to the final episode.
