‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ S5 E4-5: What Are We Doing Here?

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ S5 E4-5: What Are We Doing Here?

Author: Claire Fallon, Emma Gray September 17, 2026 Duration: 1:51:15
Season 5 of “SLOMW” ends abruptly, after an on-camera revelation that Dakota’s friend has called CPS to report Taylor. But it’s not entirely out of the blue. The last two episodes contain ample signs that Taylor and Dakota’s toxic pattern is escalating dangerously. Meanwhile, Jen is trying to get her “pink back” by becoming a musician and returning to the Mormon fold, Jessi and Jordan throw a housewarming brunch that becomes a de facto divorce brunch, and Mayci and Mikayla have reached their wits’ end with the Taylor-Dakota situation. Annemarie Navar-Gill joins again to finish our discussion of this truncated season – and the path ahead for Taylor and the show, which has chosen to keep her on the cast.

Every week, culture critics Emma Gray and Claire Fallon grab the remote and hit play, diving into the complicated, hilarious, and often absurd world of on-screen romance. Their Love to See It with Emma and Claire podcast is that perfect blend of snark and sincerity, treating both frothy reality dating shows and classic romantic films with the serious-and seriously funny-analysis they deserve. You’ll hear them dissect the latest dramatic rose ceremony on “The Bachelor” one episode, then revisit a formative rom-com the next, asking what these stories really teach us about our own relationships and desires. It’s less a straightforward recap and more a lively conversation between two insightful friends who aren’t afraid to laugh, cringe, or get genuinely moved by the material. They pick apart the juicy details and unpack the weird, sometimes problematic messages buried in our favorite love stories, all while celebrating the sheer joy of the genre. Tuning in feels like pulling up a chair with people who get why this stuff matters, for better or worse, in how we think about love, sex, and connection.
