Oh, my God.
-Sorry. -You look pretty now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Oh, my gosh! -You found her.
Yeah, she's wasted.
-What gave that away? -Okay.
I do not need you two to score everything I do.
It's very annoying. Very annoying.
I'm gonna give you a negative two

Bad life decisions make for great stories.

Chloe, you're gonna be late.
Not anymore.
Chloe.
You know, it's not my fault.
I was five minutes late and Glenn was being a jerk about it.
Five minutes how many times?
I told you, I need a job
that doesn't work weekends... or mornings.
[Lois sighs]
Chloe,
honey, I know it's been a lot
-to process since-- -Jeez. Go away.
I don't wanna talk about this.
Chloe, it's been two years since your father passed.
Now if he was still here, but then I--
He's not, is he?
He's not here anymore.
I want you to come to church with me.
-I told you I'm not interested. -I'm telling you,
this one is different from the rest.
This one you'll like.
I am going to go to the Galleria and see who's hiring.

[Pastor Kendrick] I feel the presence of God in here today.
Just wait 'till you hear the next guy.
He is one of the most dynamic young man I've ever met.
So let's give a big Middletown welcome
to our new youth minister, Caleb Summers.
[applause]
Let's give it up for Pastor Kendrick, please.
[applause]
[Caleb] You know, it's so nice to see
so many young faces out here this morning.
Jesus was only 33 when he died.
And his disciples, 15 to 25.
-Fifteen. -[man] Hallelujah.
I don't know about you but I don't wanna tell you
what I was doing when I was 15.
[laughter]
[Caleb] So what was it about this
Jesus and his followers?
How were they able to change the world,
without social media, without cell phones?
-Purpose. -[man] Amen.
[Caleb] Jesus knew that the greatest tragedy
is not death but a life without purpose.
All the old timers at the temple were following the rules.
And then out of nowhere,
along comes this hippie, this radical...
and he's shaking things up.
He's flipping over tables.
He's making waves.
This guy had purpose.
[woman] Yes.
Don't let anyone look down at you
just because you're young.
Go out there. Set an example. Live with the love.
Shake the foundations of the church.
Shake the foundations of the Earth.
And most of all, live with?
-[congregation] Purpose! -[man] Purpose. Yes.
-Purpose. -[applause]
[Caleb] Thank you.
-No. -Are you sure?
Thank you.
Hi. Do you want a cookie?
Oh. No, I'm okay.
-Are you sure? -Yeah. Thank you.
Okay.
Hi. Do you want a cookie?
Hi. First time here?
Caleb.
Chloe.
So what'd you think of all this?
-It's different. -Yeah?
Where do you normally go?
Wherever my mom drags me.
-[chuckles] -Okay.
I used to do the youth group thing as a kid
-but-- -You wanna sleep in on Sundays?
Yeah, I get it.
I also run the church's youth ministry.
Oh, I'm not that young. I'm 21.
No, I know. We just need more mentors like you.
You know, somebody that the kids can relate to.
How do you know I wouldn't be a terrible influence?
I think I know a good person when I see one.
I just think everybody has a story.
And it gets a little bit old not hearing
a new one every once in a while.
I don't have a story.
Everybody does.
Wednesday, 6 o'clock, all right?
Come check it out.
Yeah, I'll consider it.
I hope so.
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
Wow.
[knocking on door]
[Lois] You better not be smoking weed in there.
I got you. No. Don't you dare.
Good job.
Oh, you made it.
Yeah. I thought I'd come check it out.
Thank you for coming.
What do you think?
Wow.
Oh.
You allow screens here?
What if I told you he made that game?
Really?
Yeah, you should try it.
It's a lot of fun.
Isn't that right, Parker?
Level four still doesn't work.
It's all right. You got it, buddy.
Come on, keep trying.
[Chloe] Your grandma is gonna love it.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
[soft music]
[Caleb] Bye, guys. See you next week.
[Parker] Thank you.
-Bye. -Goodnight.
My dad used to read that book to me.
Mine too.
I'm Anna, by the way.
-Chloe. -Chloe.
How long have you been doing this?
Well, Caleb and I have been working together for years.
I've known him since he was at his first church.
Wow.
He's special, isn't he?
Yeah.
All right. Well, I gotta take out the garbage.
I see you met my wife.
Oh, that's your wife?
Yeah. Yeah.
Been married a really long time.
Well, thank you, really, for helping out with the kids today.
No problem. It felt good to help.
See what purpose does?
You know, I run another organization
outside the church called Sacred Hands.
We mostly help kids and families in need.
We're hiring right now.
I don't know if you need a job or any kind of work.
We'd appreciate having you on.
Yeah, okay. I'll think about it.
All right. Think about it.
Don't think too long though.
[dramatic music]
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Okay. Hi.
-I'm so sorry about that. -Hi.
-You must be Chloe, yeah? -Yeah, I am.
Nice to meet you. I'm Margo.
Welcome to Sacred Hands.
Let me give you the grand tour.
I think we met at church.
How far along are you?
What do you mean how far along with what?
Oh. Oh, no, no, no. I was...
No. Sorry. No.
That's just...that's a bad joke.
No. I'm very pregnant.
-Eight months. -Oh, we should hurry up then,
and start the tour.
You're funny. I like funny.
All right. So around there is gonna be the warehouse
and through here, that's Caleb's office.
And when you go right around that corner,
you go to the bathroom and then there's the coffee room,
the conference room, and the break room.
Oh, break room, hey, do you drink coffee?
-Oh, only 20 cups a day. -I feel you.
But listen, you're gonna need to bring your own
because Caleb is a bit of a stickler
when it comes to the stimulants.
And here we are.
Caleb wanted you to start in the phone bank with me.
Now remember, fundraising is how we keep our lights on
but it's also...it's a great way for you to familiarize
yourself with everything we have going on.
And if you get lost, don't worry
because I made you a little book.
-Little? Okay. -[Margo] I know.
If you need anything, just ask.
I'll just be right over here, being very pregnant.
-Okay. -[both chuckles]
[Lois] How was your first day?
Phone calls, donations, kind of boring really.
I got you somethin'.
What is it?
[soft music]
[Lois] Honey, you are taking small steps
that are gonna turn into tremendous strides.
And I'm so proud of you.
I know it hasn't been easy.
[laughs] I'm so proud of you.
-Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. -No, it's okay.
-I got it, I got it. -[Chloe] This is nice.
I mean, what you're doing.
Most guys I know just play video games and stuff.
Yeah, I used to be one of them.
Really? That's hard to imagine.
It's true.
Well, what happened?
Just changed.
I started seeing things differently.
People need help.
The world is full of misery.
To see it, all you have to do is just take the time to look.
Well, what does your wife think about all this?
You know, sometimes you just have to follow
what your heart tells you to do.
The world will find a way to catch up.
Yeah.
All right.
[dramatic music]
[Chloe] He's great.
I've never met anyone like him.
You like him.
I like the way he helps people.
Oh, please. I've seen his socials.
I know what you like.
Hmm, so instead of finding God,
-you found a hottie. -Oh, please.
You sure this guy is single?
These Christians love to marry young.
All these rules about waiting to hop in the sack
until after marriage.
He is married.
What, a girl can't look?
Anyway, did you pick a date for your wedding?
Not yet. We don't wanna rush it.
Hmm.
I like this one.
-[Dalton] Oh. -Maybe.
This would look so good on you.
-Yeah. -Ooh, let's look at these
over here.
-Oh, okay. -[Alexis] [laughs] Yeah.
[somber music]
-Good morning. -Hi.
I just heard we had this new hotshot
who had an amazing first week.
Thought I'd come by and see what her secret is.
Well, if she told you, it would not be a secret.
-You drew all these? -Yeah.
It's...my therapy for me.
Relaxes me.
You're really good.
Thanks. Also, what can I help you with?
Nothing. No.
Just, uh, can you stop by my office
-before you leave, okay? -Yeah. Sure.
-Okay. -Uh-hmm.
Hmm.
[somber music]
[knocks on door]
Is now a good time?
Yes. Come in.
[paper shuffling]
Ooh, what are you working on?
The first annual retreat for Sacred Hands
the new family shelter in Manchaca.
Just this week, we sent them over 20 new beds.
You did that.
The money you bring in gives people a place to sleep.
Puts food on their table and you should be proud of that.
Thank you.
So how do you like it so far?
Well, you know, other than the lack of coffee?
-[laughs] -God tells us,
"Treat your body as a temple."
My body needs energy.
I think your body looks pretty fine as it is.
[romantic music]
[Caleb] Every day, we have this pressure
to act a certain way, right?
Be perfect, the perfect son, the perfect daughter.
Perfect Christian.
But here's the thing.
God doesn't wanna pursue perfect people.
No, no.
He wants real people to pursue Him.
So this week, I have a challenge for you.
How can you make your relationship
with God as authentic as possible?
[Caleb] So what did you think of the service?
I can relate so much with what
you were saying about authenticity.
[Caleb] I'm glad. Some people struggle
with finding their voices, their true selves.
So true.
Thank you for being so welcoming.
It's always really nerve-wracking
coming to a new church.
[Caleb] Oh, trust me, I know it can be.
Um, sorry, I have to go get some pastries.
-Are you ignoring me? -No.
There are a hundred people in the other room.
Are any of them any less deserving of my attention?
Well, those "hundred people" aren't sleeping with you.
You wanna keep your voice down?
I mean, it's been a month.
I deserve to know where we stand.
The Lord gives all of us a role to play.
And what's my role?
Your dirty little secret?
What if I told you that God called on me to spread my love?
To be selfless with my affections?
I mean, but what about your wife?
She's okay with that?
Anna and I don't have any secrets from each other.
Wait, she knows about us?
She accepts God's will.
She understands the sacrifices.
Do you?
I thought you said there was a hundred people
in the next room?
Well, then we got to have to be quiet.
[dramatic music]
Wait, your...
wife really knows about us?
Yes.
And she knows this isn't about her.
Or me.
Or you.
God has a plan for us.
There's a bigger purpose here.
[somber music]
[phone chimes]
Hey. Registration forms for the Sacred Hands' retreat.
Don't forget. Next weekend.
Oh, I have an engagement party next weekend.
[Caleb] It's our first time doing one of these.
I already have 15 churches signed up, all right?
I need you.
It's an engagement party. I can't miss it.
She's my best friend.
All right. Look. Look.
Living out our purpose isn't easy.
All right? We have to make sacrifices.
I missed family holidays for 10 years
helping the kids at the shelter.
I'm not gonna tell you what to do.
But if you believe that this party,
with plenty of other guests,
is more important than your commitment to the church,
to God...
and to me...
that's your decision to make.
-Okay? -Okay.
Yup.
[somber music]
[crows cawing]
[phone clicking]
[Caleb] She's been sleeping along all right?
-[Margo] She's been sleeping. -[Caleb] She is?
[Margo] Oh, she's perfect.
[Caleb] Hey, Maizy. Look at that smile.
Hey, Maizy.
-[Maizy gurgles] -Aww, ain't she perfect?
[upbeat music]
That's it. Go wind up, go wind up.
-You like that, huh? -Uh-hmm.
[Margo] This is Maizy. Have you seen my baby?
And this is for you.
-[Margo] Thank you. -[laughter]
[cheering]
[Caleb] [laughs] Yeah, let's go.
[woman] Let's go drop these off right here, all right?
Hey.
I think today went really well.
Perfect way to start the retreat.
Thanks for your help.
Something on your mind?
I think...I mean, well, yeah, I guess.
I know that you have this...
understanding with your wife.
But, you know, I just wanna let you know that
this is not just sex for me.
I mean, the sex is good, don't get me wrong.
But...
I don't know how you feel about me.
No, I'm really glad you brought this up,
because I've been thinking about this a lot recently.
You know, it's not just about sex with me either.
It's something deeper.
When I was about 13, my family hit a rough patch.
We were dealing with all kinds of challenges.
Money problems, work problems, my dad was a mess.
But in the middle of all that, there was one place where,
no matter how hard things got,
I felt safe.
Church.
That's when I decided to pay it forward.
So here I am.
Chloe.
Do you wanna share?
Talk about your journey?
Um...
how did I get here?
When...okay, well, when I was in high school,
my dad...
got diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer.
[somber music]
He died two days after I graduated.
And...
I fell apart.
[sobbing]
Uh...
everything just seemed really meaningless after that.
I was drowning.
To the point where I would do--
I would do--I would do drugs.
I would do any drug just to not--
just to not feel.
But...
things are getting better.
I found my anchor
and I'm not scared anymore.
[Caleb] Thank you, Chloe.
For coming to the retreat and sharing your powerful story.
Hey, you missed dinner.
I wasn't hungry.
Something wrong?
Just thinking about my best friend Alexis.
I missed her party today.
Oh, well, I understand.
[exhales]
Okay.
I hope you can see that what you shared today
is more important than any party.
[somber music]
I'm proud of you.
[animal howling]
[suspenseful music]
-[gasping] -[moaning]
[Margo] Caleb. Yeah. [moaning]
[gasping]
[birds chirping]
Good morning, Chloe.
I saw you last night with Margo.
[Caleb] You followed me?
No, I was in the kitchen and I saw you in there.
I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Find out what?
What do you mean?
Margo is my wife and Maizy is my daughter.
Wait, what?
I am married to both Anna and Margo.
I mean, but it's polygamy. It's illegal.
According to who?
To man?
Jacob, David, Solomon,
even Abraham, father of the faithful,
they all had more than one wife.
You're okay with this?
I made a commitment to my husband and my God.
Chloe,
I need you in my life.
I'm sorry. I need to go.
-Chloe. -Chloe.
Hi.
-What happened? -Nothing.
[tense music]
Alexis called a few times looking for you.
And I don't understand. Why didn't you go?
Mom, please.
I'm doing what you asked. I got a job.
I'm contributing financially.
What does that have to do with you not going
to Alexis' engagement party?
Why can't you see I finally have my priorities together?
Where is all this coming from?
What happened at that retreat?
You wouldn't understand.
Try me.
Chlo...
[door shuts]
Dear, God.
My friends think I'm crap.
I can't make my mother happy no matter what I do.
My dad...
he's gone.
And Caleb...
I wanna trust him. I wanna love him.
And I don't know what to do.
God, please help me.
Can we talk?
Listen,
I know it's hard,
but God tests us to help us grow.
You're the one married to two women,
sleeping with a third, and God is testing me?
You haven't told anyone, right?
Your mother?
No. I have enough problems.
You're in pain.
Pain is God's megaphone.
He wants to show you to the light.
Yeah, well, right now everything seems really dark.
Come with me.
Come on.
Whenever I need to be reminded of God's love,
His creation,
this is where I come.
You're a special woman, Chloe.
A world without you in it could never be so beautiful.
I believe that God has a perfect plan for our lives.
And that meeting you was a clear sign of His grace.
With love as our foundation,
will you join me and walk His path as my wife
and partner in faith?
You already have two wives.
[scoffs]
This is bigger than us, Chloe.
God has entrusted us with a mission
to rescue a fallen world.
Would you feel better if you knew
that Anna and Margo agreed?
[dramatic music]
[exhales]
Okay.
Hi, Chloe.
Hi.
[laughs] Welcome.
Oh, you know, I got you these.
Sorry, I didn't know what to bring, so.
Oh. They're beautiful.
[Chloe] Thank you so much.
[Margo] Hi, Chloe.
Hi, Margo.
Hi, look who's here.
Your home is beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
-Yeah, it's a special home. -[baby crying]
[Anna] Caleb's grandfather built it.
Wow. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna go put her down.
We'll see you in a second, Chloe.
-Bye-bye. -[crying continues]
Nice to see you.
Hi.
We're so glad you're here.
[Caleb] Oh, Lord, bless this food.
Teach us to know by whom we're fed,
and bless us with Christ, our daily bread.
-Amen. -Amen.
So there's a very special reason
that I invited Chloe here today.
Family is a precious gift bestowed by God.
And that's why I believe
we must be selective with who we choose to share that time.
From the very moment I met Chloe,
I believed she was somebody we'd be blessed
to share our lives with.
So that's why I invited Chloe to be part of our family.
So I humbly ask each of you
if you could open your hearts and embrace her
as we have embraced each other.
I would be proud.
Yes, yes.
Of course, yes.
Do you wanna join this family?
-I'd love to. -[chuckling]
[Anna] And do you, Chloe Russell,
take this man to be your husband?
From this day forward,
to have and to hold,
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
for richer and for poorer,
to love and to honor,
for time and all eternity?
I do.
[Anna] By the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
[laughs]
Welcome to the family.
Congratulations.
[Chloe] Ten seconds, guys. Ten seconds.
Okay. Do I have anything in my teeth?
No, you're good.
[camera shutter clicking]
It's a beautiful old home that Caleb's grandfather built.
And his parents lived in it and now Caleb and Anna.
I just don't understand
why you can't work for him and still live here?
Because when I'm not working for the charity,
I'll be helping Anna at their home.
It's more money.
Listen, is this really about you helping
Pastor Caleb and his wife
or you're just trying to get away from me?
Mom, I need some space.
I'm trying to get my life together.
I'm trying to find my way.
Caleb and Anna have given me a place to go while I do that.
[sighs]
And look on the bright side.
You won't have to worry about me all the time.
I'll show you I can do it on my own.
Ah, there she is.
[Chloe] Hi.
-Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. -[Chloe] [laughs]
[Margo] Oh.
I'm so happy you're here.
This is the kitchen.
There she is.
Wow.
This is a chore chart.
My first grade teacher had one of these.
Do we get a sticker when we're done?
It's not so bad.
And besides, now that there's three of us,
it's gonna go even faster.
Okay. So this, that's where Maizy and I sleep.
-[Chloe] Uh-hmm. -This is your room.
Anna's to the right.
And, um, that's... well, that's Caleb's room,
but we don't ever go in there.
Really?
Not even to...
No, no, no, no. He will come to you.
Now, come on, let me show you. Come on.
Wow.
Well I...I mean, I didn't know what you'd be bringing
so I kind of just... I just threw it all together.
I love it.
You know, I'm an only child, so...
[Margo] Not anymore.
Now you're home.
Just remember you can put your stuff in here
and these are your dresses.
What?
Oh, well, Caleb just likes for us to wear
more modest clothing when we're home.
Really?
Yeah. But it's only when we're downstairs with him.
And it's...
you'll get used to it.
Yeah.
[Margo] Okay. I'm gonna get out now.
[giggles] Hi.
Hi.
Everything okay?
Of course. Yeah.
It's just, um, you have to remember
that there are other wives in this house.
It wouldn't be very fair if I showed preference, right?
Yeah, I guess not.
How are you settling in?
Good. I love it.
Good.
Seeing you happy makes me happy.
And this is a really nice dress.
-You look great. -Thanks.
Okay. I have some work I have to do.
I will come see you later, okay?
[dramatic music]
Take that off.
Do you want me?
Say it.
I want you.
Good.
Lie down.
[dramatic music]
[suspense music]
Good night.
What?
-[Caleb shushing] -[Margo] Good night, Maizy.
I love you.
Would you like to come in?
Do you like my dress?
[Caleb] Take it off.
[Anna] Of course.
[tense music]
[birds chirping]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, it's forks--
it's forks on the left, knives on the right.
Forks on the left, knives on the right.
Can I ask you about something?
Yeah.
Last night...
Oh, did you--you heard us?
No, I just...well, kind of.
I thought that maybe it's my first night and...
Oh, no, no, no.
You'll get used to it.
We share everything in this house.
And Caleb loves to keep us on our toes.
You know, actually, if you ever wanna get Caleb's attention,
you better be...
It's Chloe's day to set the table.
I know. I was just helping out.
-Do you-- -I got it. Thank you.
Hello, beautiful wives. This looks great.
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[Anna] Yeah. Big money, big money, big money.
-[Margo] [screams] -[Anna] Wait. Hold on.
-Okay. -[scribbling]
[phone call ringing]
Okay.
[sighs]
-What now? -You've been here a month
and you still don't know how to set the table properly.
Do you have OCD or something? Because it looks fine to me.
What are you wearing?
You can't wear that here.
Go upstairs and change. He's gonna be here any minute.
[scoffs]
Go.
Chloe, hey, hey, what's wrong? Where are you going?
Out. Or do I need permission from the warden to do that too?
[crows cawing]
[dog barking]
[dramatic music]
[crickets chirping]
[suspense music]
[Caleb] Chloe,
you're not dressed appropriately.
And I understand that you left the house
without completing your chores.
I just needed some time on my own.
Well, I'm not sure if your mother tolerated laziness.
But in this house,
we're all expected to pull our weight equally.
You're excused.
What?
I didn't eat.
Well, I suggest you take this time to pray on your sins.
[scoffs]
Anna, take her up to her room.
Of course.
[dramatic music]
[Anna] [clears throat]
Come on.
Caleb always did have a soft spot for a charity case.
And what? That's me, a charity case?
Look, this whole thing just got blown out of proportion.
I just needed some space and I...
[lock clicks]
Anna.
Anna?
Anna.
What?
[sighs]
[Margo] Chloe.
Chloe.
Over here in the closet.
Chloe.
Chloe, down here.
Down here. Chloe, down here.
How do you even know this is here?
Caleb's supposed to be fixing it
but he just hasn't gotten around to it.
But look, I made you a sandwich.
Here.
Thank you.
Please don't be upset.
Caleb, he's just--
he's just testing us.
You know, he has to test our faith in him
and our commitment to God's plan.
But I promise you,
if you would just learn to follow the rules,
you will be happy here.
I've never been good at following rules.
[Margo] Do you wanna know a secret?
Me either.
Not really.
Before Caleb, I was--
I was using drugs a lot.
I was a--I was a total mess.
My mother didn't know what to do with me.
[Chloe] I get that.
Thanks for the sandwich.
What about you?
Does your mom know you're a wife now?
[Chloe] She wouldn't understand.
I don't wanna talk to her
until I can prove I can do it on my own.
Well, it sounds like we both have some praying to do.
Well, dear Lord,
please help me learn to set the table the right way.
[both chuckle]
[shushes]
[church bell ringing]
[Caleb] Yeah, I think it's so brave
that you were sharing your
personal spiritual journey with us on...
[Lois] I found a perfect doctor that understands...
[Caleb] I'm amazed that all this is growing...
[Lois] ...and promised the best in the area.
[Caleb] That's what I want to share with everyone else.
[whispers] Chloe. Chloe, your ring.
Excuse me.
Of course.
You don't call.
You don't text.
It's been almost two months and I don't even know where--
I told you, I'm living with Caleb and Anna.
I have a job. I'm independent.
That's what you wanted, right?
I am your mother.
I still wanna see you.
I need some space away from you.
I'm happy.
That's all you need to know, okay?
[dramatic music]
[Caleb] And remember, my door is open any time, but please--
-[Lois] Caleb. -Oh. Excuse me.
See you later. Yes, Lois?
Chloe wants to cut me out of her life
for no reason at all.
Maybe you can talk to her.
She's an adult.
And if she did that, she might have valid reasons.
I trust her judgment.
It's nice talking to you.
I have some people who have to see me.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
Hopefully it's straight?
[Anna] Yeah, looks great.
Okay.
Whoa.
You guys really went all out.
-[laughs] -I wanted it to be special.
-[car approaching] -Oh!
That's her! Okay. Turn the lights off.
-We need to hide. -Okay. [laughs]
I'll go here. She's coming. She's coming.
Hello?
Is anybody home?
-Surprise! -[Margo screams]
[Chloe laughs]
[Anna] ♪ Happy birthday...
-Wow. -[all] ♪ ...to you
♪ Happy birthday to you
♪ Happy birthday, dear Margo
♪ Happy birthday to you
[laughs] Thank you again for the night.
It's been a while since we had an actual party around here.
Really?
Yeah.
Not too long after I moved in, I turned 25
and I thought it'd be really fun to have, uh,
you know, like a party
with a few friends and family.
Caleb said no.
No party, no presents.
-What? -[Margo] Yeah.
Everyone deserves a birthday party.
And a birthday present.
Well...
my mom gave me this.
If anyone deserves it, it's you.
No. No, Chloe, I can't accept that.
Yes. Happy birthday, Margo.
-[Margo] Are you sure? -[Chloe] Yes. It's okay.
Thank you.
"Be strong and courageous."
Joshua 1:9 says, "Be strong and courageous,
God will be with you wherever you go."
You know, my mom never gave me anything like this.
I mean, she stopped speaking to me altogether
when I married Caleb.
Wait, so she knows?
She knows enough.
I honestly never thought she really understand,
but I thought she could at least still be in our lives.
You know, she's never even met Maizy.
-Wait, what? -[Margo] Yeah.
That is not okay.
Maybe not.
But it's God's will.
So I just have to pray for the strength to accept it.
Caleb will decide when the time's right.
-[door opens] -[footsteps]
[door closes]
Well, why don't you take her by there?
No. No, no, no. I can't do that.
Caleb would never allow that.
Wait, are you sure? Did you ask him?
No. I just...
Be strong and courageous.
God is with you.
Something on your mind, Margo?
I was thinking I would like for my mother to meet Maizy.
No.
It's not time yet.
Well, when will it be time?
Because I was thinking I could take her this weekend.
What would that accomplish?
Your mother rejected us.
She rejected you, Margo.
I think that if I could just talk to her--
The answer is no.
For Christ's sake,
Margo deserves to be able to see her mother... [gasps]
[whimpers]
Go to your room.
[tense music]
You understand why I did that, right?
I was just trying to help Margo.
Why wouldn't you let her see her mother--
-[slaps] -[gasps]
[tense music]
You took a vow to honor and serve your husband,
just as I took a vow to love my wives,
even when that love requires discipline.
Do you understand?
-[slaps] -[gasps]
We all have to take responsibility for our sins,
just as it is my responsibility to steer you to the truth.
What truth?
Your truth?
[slaps]
[objects clattering]
[Caleb] Do not question my authority!
I am your husband!
Just as we submit to the Lord,
a wife must submit to her husband.
[sniffles]
[tense music]
[door opens]
Chloe?
Chloe.
Hey. It's okay.
It's okay.
He's with Anna, it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Here, let me just...um, come here, let me help you.
Does he...has he hurt you like this before?
-Yeah. -Why do you put up with this?
Chloe, I made a vow.
Okay?
I did. I chose this life.
Come on.
It's not like I haven't thought about leaving him before.
-It's just-- -Well, then why haven't you?
I don't have anywhere I can go.
Even if I thought about it, if he found out,
Maizy...I...
you know, I just don't think that that's in God's will.
You know what's not in God's will?
Beating your wife.
God works in mysterious ways, Chloe.
Hey, look at me.
Look at me, hey.
You're not gonna leave, are you?
And go where?
I can't go back to my mother's.
Could you do me a favor?
Yeah.
If something happened to me...
-Nothing's gonna happen to you. -[Margo] Chloe,
if something did,
promise me you would get Maizy out.
You can't let her stay here, Chloe.
Listen, you cannot...
don't let her end up in some man's room
crying through a hole in a closet.
Just get her somewhere safe
and take her to my mom's.
Just promise me.
Yeah, I promise.
I'm so sorry, Chloe.
It's okay.
[Chloe grunts]
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[keyboard clacking]
[phone pings]
[chuckles]
[tense music]
Where are you going?
Out.
No, you're not.
It's your day to watch Maizy.
You know it's important we stick to the schedule.
Well, I didn't wanna say anything,
but I'm late.
Yeah, I asked my doctor,
she said she could do the test this morning,
and I didn't wanna mention it to Caleb just in...
God, in His infinite wisdom,
never granted me that most blessed gift.
But now I see your presence in this family
is more than just chance.
It's his divine design.
Praise be.
This is a look.
I told Alexis I didn't think we should come.
-You-- -Wait.
Come here.
-Ow. -What is it?
No, it's just nothing.
[Dalton] That is definitely not nothing.
[Alexis] Who did this to you?
Look, I don't have a lot of time.
I had to lie to come here today.
Oh, okay. Start at the beginning.
Do you guys remember that pastor?
The hot pastor?
The married hot pastor?
[Dalton] You married a guy who is married?
Is he the one that did this to you?
[phone rings]
Ignore him. Come with us right now.
I can't do that to Margo.
I can't leave her.
Why? Who's Margo?
I have to go.
[phone ringing]
[Chloe] Hi, Caleb.
I'm on my way back now.
Oh, my God.
[Lois] I don't even know what to think.
It's just all my fault.
I insisted that she go to that church.
I made her get a job.
But after I met with that Pastor Caleb,
I knew something wasn't right.
I knew it was terribly wrong.
She needs our help, but I don't know what we can do.
Oh, I know what we're gonna do.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter]
[Pastor Kendrick] I'd like a moment with your husband.
I don't know how things were in your old church,
but in this church, we do not condone polygamy.
Neither does the law.
My wives accept my calling.
What about the violence?
-Who's feeding you this crap? -Are they lying?
What's obvious is that whoever's telling you this
has some kind of an agenda.
Or they have concerns
for the safety of three innocent women.
So tell me, Caleb, should I too be concerned?
You might be head of this church
but I'm the head of my household.
In that case,
it's not your church anymore.
[suspenseful music]
-[Caleb] Talk about what? -[glass breaking]
How he mocked God's plan for us? For me?
-You're scaring everybody. -No, I...you should be scared!
I have four people depending on me!
I have bills to pay!
I have to put food on the table every day!
Pastor Kendrick doesn't understand that!
How did he even find out?
That's a good question. All right.
Did somebody talk to him? Did you?
No, I didn't. No.
Margo? No, no, I didn't. I wouldn't do that.
Chloe? It was you, wasn't it, Chloe?
No, I didn't say anything to Pastor Kendrick.
Maybe someone saw something.
-[glass breaking] -[gasps]
-[Caleb panting] -Okay.
Breaking things doesn't gonna make anything better.
[Caleb panting]
What matters is what we do now.
[Caleb] I'm gonna find a new congregation.
I'm gonna start a new church. A true church!
Clean this up.
-Anna, you-- -Stop.
We have to clean up.
[suspenseful music]
-[Margo] Okay. -How can I help?
Oh, please, if you could hold that.
Did you tell Pastor Kendrick?
I didn't say anything.
The other day, you told me you needed to go get a test.
-I'm not pregnant. -But I'm not asking about that.
Are you telling the truth?
I told you, I didn't talk to Pastor Kendrick
and I'm not pregnant.
Anna, are you okay?
Stop touching me.
[crickets chirping]
See how hard your mommy's working?
That's because we all do our part.
You'll understand when you're older.
It's important to do what your husband tells you.
You'll be a young woman soon enough,
you'll have a husband.
You and your sister wives will have to obey him.
Hi.
[Maizy cooing]
[suspenseful music]
Hey. What is it?
I won't let him do that to Maizy.
What happened?
"You'll be a wife soon?
You'll have a husband of your own soon."
-No, no. -He said that?
I have to leave.
I know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
But this is the only way I can keep Maizy safe, okay?
All right. Here's I'm gonna do.
[Maizy crying]
[shushing] Hold on, baby. It's okay.
Maizy, it's okay. [shushing]
It's okay. It's okay, baby.
It's okay. Come on.
[Maizy crying]
-Where are you going? -[gasps]
I'm going to my mother's.
With my daughter?
I don't think so.
[Margo] Caleb, please,
uh, just let me go.
[Caleb] Get back in the house.
[Margo] No, no, Caleb. No.
-Come on. Come on. -No.
[Margo] Caleb, Maizy's in the car.
[Caleb] Anna will take care of her.
[Maizy crying]
[Caleb] Do you think you can leave with my daughter?
[Margo] Do you want-- you want me to [indistinct]
-[Caleb] I am your husband! -[Margo gasps]
[Caleb] You obey me.
Did you hear that last night?
She's fine.
Margo has expressed to me that she's not happy.
So I've decided the best course of action
is to spend some more quality time with her.
-Can I talk-- -I would like you to take Maizy
while I take Margo away for the weekend.
I'll work this out with my wife.
[suspenseful music]
Look at this toy.
[phone beeps]
[Chloe] Your mommy's gonna be so excited to see you.
Yes, she is.
Caleb.
What's wrong?
[sighs]
Margo is gone.
She left.
She seemed very upset.
I thought she might just need some space,
so I went to my office.
By the time I came back, she was gone.
Where?
I don't know.
I don't see her leaving without Maizy.
She knows Maizy's in good hands.
[Caleb] Yes, she knows that.
Let's hope she's not in trouble.
[sighs]
[melancholic music]
What are you doing in Margo's room?
She left her clothes.
She wouldn't have done that.
What if something bad happened to her?
Like what?
I don't know.
We can only pray that she's safe
and that she'll return soon.
Yeah.
[sighs]
[melancholic music]
[phone beeps]
[soft music]
[phone beeps]
That was your mommy.
She's okay.
[phone beeps]
He just called. He's gonna be late.
He had to make a stop. But you should go get dressed.
Yeah. Okay.
[Maizy cooing]
How's our little girl doing?
You look so beautiful.
Oh, I have an idea.
I know your mother would love to see you.
We should FaceTime.
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrating]
[suspenseful music]
Oh, my God.
[footsteps approaching]
Chloe?
Chloe, come on out.
What are you doing in here?
You know you're not allowed in this room.
Where'd you get that?
The desk.
Every text message she sent,
it was Caleb the whole time.
-No. -If he has her phone.
Do you know what that means?
We have to do something. We have to call the police.
[suspenseful music]
[brakes screeching]
-It's him. What do you do? -Okay. Okay. But...
We're gonna put it back. You put it back in the desk.
We'll go to the police later. Do it quickly.
You know what's gonna happen if he finds us in here.
Do it.
[suspenseful music]
Lunch is almost ready.
-Hi. -Hi.
Thank you.
Uh-hmm.
Hi, Chloe.
Hi. Sorry, I'll go get changed right now.
And I'm gonna put Maizy down for a nap.
[suspenseful music]
[sighs]
[Caleb] So good news,
I got a job offer today,
church up in Johnson County.
And I know, I really believe this is God's will for us.
Congratulations.
That's great news.
Oh, I...I'm actually not feeling that great.
I need to go lie down.
[birds chirping]
[Anna] Caleb just left.
He needs us to go down and pick up a large donation.
But I also thought it was a good opportunity
for us to swing by the police station.
Babysitter will be here in 20 minutes.
[dramatic music playing]
Caleb's here?
Let's go inside.
[Caleb] Have a seat, Chloe.
Lemonade?
No. Thank you.
What is this place?
A man from my old church.
When he passed, he donated it to Sacred Hands.
Anna told me you found Margo's phone.
So I thought we needed to talk.
Where's Margo?
I told you I don't know.
Well, then why did you have her phone?
Wha--what did you do to her?
What did I do?
What did I do to her?
[sighs]
Margo never told you how we met, didn't she?
No.
Margo was an addict.
Sacred Hands helped her get clean.
I took her in.
She started working for me,
just like you.
I work so hard
to give you all a good life, this life.
When I realized that she had left us,
I thought maybe she just needed some space.
Then I began to worry
and I was afraid that she had relapsed.
So I went to go find her.
And I went to this house that I had found her
at once back when she was using.
But she wasn't there.
Well then, why were you texting us from her phone?
To protect her, Chloe,
to protect her reputation.
I don't want people to know that she abandoned us.
That she choose drugs over our family.
But shouldn't we try to find her
so we can get her the help that she needs?
We will.
But we need to accept
that maybe she doesn't want our help.
That if she goes down this path,
we'll have to move on.
[phone ringing]
[sighs] I have to take this.
It's the pastor from the new church.
Hello, sir? How are you today?
Good. Good. Thank you.
I'm eager to meet everybody and start working forward.
I need some fresh air. I'm gonna be sick.
[breathing heavily]
[indistinct] with nothing in the past.
[dramatic music playing]
[Anna] You okay?
I found this over there,
this bracelet I gave to Margo for her birthday.
She would've never taken it off.
Why is it here?
He's lying, right?
She didn't leave.
What, he killed her and buried her over there?
She was already dead when I got here.
There were so many stab wounds in her chest, and her stomach.
Caleb asked me to help bury her and I did.
Wait, Chloe. Chloe.
Chloe! Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Why am I here?
If you can just keep a secret?
Then we can start fresh, like he said.
You wanna live with someone
-who's a liar and a murderer? -I took a vow.
Do you know who else took a vow? Margo.
And she's dead over there.
"A wife does not have authority over her own body,
her husband does."
Maybe you can just accept God's will.
Everything's gonna be okay.
No, Anna. It won't.
[dramatic music playing]
[Anna] Caleb!
Come, quick!
[Caleb] Chloe!
Chloe!
Chloe, you got nowhere to go.
Chloe, we have to talk.
[loud banging]
[Caleb] Chloe, open this door.
[breathing heavily]
[operator] 911. What's your emergency?
Please. There's someone trying to kill me.
[operator] Ma'am, what's your address?
Please, please. He's coming. He's coming.
-He's... -[operator] Ma'am?
We've tracked your location.
Is there some place you can hide?
-Ma'am? -No, no, no.
[Caleb] Please, just listen to me.
-I'm done listening to you. -Just...
Why don't you tell me what really happened with Margo?
[Caleb] She was troubled.
That's not true.
She wanted a better life for her and her daughter.
She had no right to take my daughter.
So you killed her?
She wanted to destroy us, Chloe.
She didn't believe in the plan that God have for us,
so I did what I had to do.
Margo was good.
She was kind.
And if that's God's will,
that's not the God I believe in.
What are you gonna do?
Kill me?
God sees you.
He saw what you did to Margo and he sees you now.
Don't make me do this, Chloe.
Do you know what else he sees?
-A sick, twisted... -Shut your mouth.
-[Chloe] ...weak man. -Shut up.
You're not a man of God. You're nothing!
Shut up!
[grunts]
What do you know about God?
You ungrateful bitch!
Stupid, selfish child.
[grunts]
[panting]
[Anna shudders]
[panting]
Thank you. Thank you.
What do we do now?
The police are coming.
This isn't your fault. You...
I'll tell them that you didn't do anything,
that you didn't kill her. I'll tell them you helped me.
[Anna] Yeah. Okay.
[police car wails]
[indistinct chatter]
Watch your head.
[dramatic music]
[Maizy cooing]
[Chloe] It's okay.
We're gonna be at Grandma's soon.
She can't wait to meet you.
-[Lois sobbing] -Mom.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry too.
-I thought he loved me. -I know.
I'm so stupid.
No, don't.
Don't.
Everybody makes mistakes.
I'm just--I'm just happy that you're home,
and happy that you're safe.
I missed you.
I missed you too and I love you.
[Chloe] I love you.
[crying]
[Lois] I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
-[bell clanking] -[knocking]
[sighs]
Hi.
I'm Chloe.
This is my mother Lois.
And this is...
[Ellen] Is that...
[Chloe] It's your granddaughter Maizy.
-[Maizy cooing] -Oh.
-She's so precious. -Uh-hmm.
I promised your daughter that if anything would happen,
I would make sure Maizy was safe with you.
That's what she wanted.
Please. Can you come in?
-[Chloe] Yeah. -Yes. Thank you.
Go on. Let's get her in there.
You're gonna have a ball with her,
-she's such a doll. -Oh, my God.
[Lois] I know she's so happy to see you.
[laughter]
[Ellen] She's such a doll.
[dramatic music]
