Previously on My Three Wives: this poor, put-upon man with the three wives! They're constantly demanding sex and money and attention and it's just so hard having hot and cold running spouses! Also, at least one wife came bundled with the in-laws from Hell, although they'd be happy to tell you they're actually from the other side.
So we have the credits, and then we have a shot of the Henricksons' homes plus, and then we zoom into one home. Going by the noise, someone's a morning person. The camera zooms over and -- hey! Three minutes in and we've got a confirmed sighting of Bill's naked rear. He's valiantly pumping away at Margene and she is shrieking like it's the second coming. And perhaps for her, it is. (Rimshot!)
Out in the backyard, the other two wives are going about their morning business with the kids. They can hear Margene wailing away. Nicki gives Barb a look best summed up as, "The H?" Barb shoos Teeny inside, and Nicki snaps to her, "Can you believe it? It's like a train whistle!" Her delivery implies that man-locomotive coupling is sick, sad, and wrong. Barb and Nicki natter on a little more about this -- and work in a casual reference to grocery-swapping as Wayne burrows into Barb for comfort -- and Barb sighs, "She wasn't like this in the old house." Nicki totally cracks me up by snapping, "Well, she was out of the annex and her windows were double-paned." I don't know why I find the combination of Nicki and home-remodeling details hilarious, but I do. Margene is still carrying on -- at this point, I am not sure whether to be incredulous or envious -- and Barb gapes while Nicki swears this can't continue.
And in other boner-related plot developments: Ben is lying awake in bed. He rolls over to say good morning to his friend Jason with "I've got a boner." Jason is blas� about this: "You've always got a boner." There's some more talk of erections, and frankly, I am not clear what the point is here. That Ben's obsessed with sex? That one of them is mulling a future filled with multiple husbands and the other is not? That both of them are primed for a future together as Tom of Finland collectors?
Bill and Margene have finally finished, and they both look pleasantly wrecked. She grins up at him, "You're my blue-eyed boy, aren't you? My little ol' blue-eyed boy."
