Bill wants to tell Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) that Joey (Shawn Doyle) is responsible for Roman's death, but is unable to say anything as she is struggling with her infertility.
Bill also faces a PR nightmare when Barbara attends an event, and suggests that married women rely on prescription drugs in their lives.
Bill also learns that Margie (Ginnifer Goodwin) is marrying Goran (Steve Bacic) and confronts her at her casino office.
After being told by Barbara that Joey was involved in her father's death, Nicki angrily takes Wanda (Melora Walters) and her kids to her house, avoiding J.J. (Željko Ivanek) at all costs.

"[9] Mark Blankenship of HuffPost wrote, "This is the clearest the show has ever been about how Bill's faith or hubris or whatever has warped him into a self-centered, self-righteous, and immature hypocrite with a raging God complex.
