Category: Big Love

Rhonda Volmer started out as a fairly innocuous character in season 1 of Big Love. She seemed to be there only to remind us of the tragedy of polygamy, and to further cement Roman's evilness. Now, Rhonda has become a major player in the series. She seems to be responsible for most of the Henrickson's problems; Barb's exposure, increased tensions between Roman and Bill, and now even further scrutiny of the family.

I still haven't exactly figured out Rhonda's end game, if she has one.

She is only 15 after all. But, she is very good at manipulating everyone from Roman to Barb to get what she wants. Nicki was right after all. Rhonda has been the catalyst over the last few episodes.

Barb's exposure at the Governor's mansion pales in comparison to the damage Rhonda has caused by simply lying to the Tuttle's.

What is Rhonda really trying to accomplish? Is it Barb's fault for trying to convert her from the compound? Is this a good direction for the show?

I'm not sure if Rhonda has an end game. I think she's just lying her way from situation to situation. When Barb told her "You can't keep lying." I think that was a little hint at what to come from her.

It was a good ep this week, a lot happened. There was much set up for the rest of the season.

And yeah, I don't think we've seen the last of the potential fourth wife.
