Discussing his sideline business with Don over lunch at a local diner, Bill finds himself drawn to an attractive young waitress named Ana. Nicki worries over Wayne's enrollment at a Catholic school (which allows Bill and her to be a 'public' couple) after finding him playing with rosary beads. At Home Plus, Bill finds his deal with Weber Gaming jeopardized by Reese's impatience and must turn to his uncle Eddie for a loan.

Bill tries to convince Jerry Flute, a native-American businessman, to partner with him in a Mormon-friendly casino outside of Salt Lake City, and finds a surprisingly effective ally in Margene. With Roman in jail and incensed at Alby for betraying him, Nicki decides to temp at the DA's office to hunt down state's evidence for Adeleen. After learning she may have a cancer recurrence, Barb warms to the idea of Ana joining the family, though the waitress is resistant to the family's overtures.

Bill enlists Nicki to sell Barb and Margene on Weber Gaming, with predictable results.

After confronting Sarah about her 'moral ambiguity,' Barb tries to get Heather back into her daughter's life. With Margene holding the swing vote on Weber, Bill decides to take his wives to see for themselves how the 'other half' lives. Rhonda finds another way to make herself the center of attention; Alby steps forward to 'channel' Roman in his hour of need; Nicki takes advantage of a deal from Alby; and Lois decides to hit Frank where it hurts.
