One day before season three of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered on Hulu, star Jessi Ngatikaura changed her name on social media, subtly announcing to her 1.4 million TikTok followers that she is now going by her maiden name, Jessi Draper. Fans immediately saw this as a sign that she had split from her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura. Spoiler alert: Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura are still together, but, as seen in the new episodes, they came awfully close to calling it quits.
But when it's almost an hour of wall-to-wall press mini-scenes, many of which are debates about what constitutes assault? Oof. I will say that if the goal was to make the viewer feel trapped in a claustrophobic loop between glam chair and sprinter van with nonstop tension the entire time, it was a success. I'm sweaty. Anxious. Desperate to disassociate alone in a hotel robe.
The episode dives into the ethics of sharing dreams, with humor surrounding whether discussing a sex dream about someone constitutes cheating, leading to deeper exploration of relationship boundaries.
