Saints, Sinners, and Secrets

S1 E2: The Book of Belonging This episode focuses on Taylor’s struggles after her arrest and the difficulties of being pregnant again while navigating her fractured relationships. Dakota, her partner, has moved in with her, but Taylor feels uncertain about marriage and abandoned by her former friends, who are debating whether to exclude her from MomTok. Taylor’s baby shower highlights the tension, as she feels judged by both her friends and family. Meanwhile, Whitney grapples with a controversial brand deal promoting vibrators, dividing opinions among the group. Whitney ultimately skips Taylor's baby shower, which intensifies the rift between her and Taylor.

S1 E3: The Book of Saints & Sinners The divide between the "Saints" and "Sinners" in MomTok deepens. Whitney’s absence from Taylor's baby shower creates further tension, and Mayci and Mikayla speculate that Whitney avoided it to seek attention. At a party Jenn throws for her husband, the group’s differing values become even more apparent when Jessi and Jordan bring alcohol to a Mormon household, upsetting the more devout members like Jenn, Mayci, and Whitney. Demi and Jessi feel judged when they’re excluded from Jenn's baby’s blessing. The rift between the Saints and Sinners grows, leading to Demi's frustration at a Galentine’s Day party when Whitney makes an inappropriate joke involving Fruity Pebbles, upsetting Demi. The episode ends with the Sinners going bowling on the day of Jenn's baby blessing, symbolizing the divide.

S1 E4: The Book of Truth During Mayci’s birthday trip, the group tries to repair the growing rift. However, tensions rise when Demi introduces a "truth box" that sparks confrontational conversations. Whitney admits her jealousy of Taylor's ability to be forgiven, while Demi’s earlier comment calling Taylor "white trash" comes to light, creating more conflict. Whitney is asked to reveal her least favorite person in the group, and she names Demi, further straining their relationship. As the group attempts to reconcile, Whitney ends up feeling isolated and breaks down emotionally. Despite the effort to mend their bonds, unresolved tensions linger as the group prepares for dinner.
