In the episode, Bill and Nicki visit Juniper Creek to save Joey from prison, while Barbara questions Ben's time with Margie.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.66 million household viewers and gained a 0.8/2 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Barbara (Jeanne Tripplehorn) is concerned when she finds that Ben (Douglas Smith) is spending a lot of time with Margie (Ginnifer Goodwin).
Rhonda (Daveigh Chase) starts having second thoughts over marrying Roman, so her mother Lydia (Karina Logue) arrives to force her into going forward with the wedding.
Roman finally agrees to Bill's terms, and orders Alby (Matt Ross) to come clean to the police the following day.
It will be interesting to see the fallout of Bill finding out about Roman's call and Rhonda's departure from the compound, but we will just have to wait till next week to see where those stories head next.
"[4] Trish Wethman of TV Guide wrote, "The next time I complain about a big family get-together, I am going to think back to this episode and thank my lucky stars.
Nicki's supersized lineage was on the front burner tonight as she convinced Bill to visit the compound with her and even stay as a guest in Roman's house.
"[5] Emily Nussbaum of Vulture wrote, "In this excellent, totally confusing episode, Big Love flashed its seamy petticoats all over the place, like a cancan dancer for Christ.
"[7] Shirley Halperin of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "From the get-go, this was the episode of unlikely pairings: Ben and Margene, Bill and Roman, Barb and Rhonda, Alby and... who knows.
