"Come, Ye Saints" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American drama television series Big Love.
It is the 30th overall episode of the series and was written by Melanie Marnich, and directed by consulting producer Dan Attias.
The series charts the family's life in and out of the public sphere in their suburb, as well as their associations with a fundamentalist compound in the area.
Margie (Ginnifer Goodwin) has brought her mother's ashes in an urn, hoping they can leave them with her uncle within a few miles.
While stopping to visit Carthage Jail, Bill corrects the tour guide on details regarding the death of Joseph Smith.
The following day, Nicki and Barbara (Jeanne Tripplehorn) accompany Margie in visiting her uncle, and she inadvertedly reveals that Bill uses Viagra.
Margie accidentally drops her mother's ashes in the street, as she was distracted by a note that Ben gave her where he professes his love for her.
This one (not just the family scenes, but moments like Charles Robinson's cameo as the angry preacher) was all good stuff, from start to finish.
"[4] Nick Catucci of Vulture wrote, "For a minute there, it looked like Ben might get road head from the one wife who still turns Bill on.
"[5] Emily St. James of Slant Magazine wrote, "“Come, Ye Saints” has a lot going on, but it never feels overstuffed as some other episodes have this season, perhaps because it doesn't try to shove in a plot at the Juniper Creek compound.
It moves with a calm grace of its own as the characters retrace the steps of their ancestors, chased across the country and into the wilderness by angry mobs aplenty.
Instead, playwright Melanie Marnich, writing her first segment for the series, undoes some of the biggest secrets in the Henrickson family.
