Episode Recap of " Duggars in Quarantine" and "La La Land"

Aired July 7, 2020

1. The Duggars are in quarantine with the rest of us schlubs and are finding it difficult to adjust. They are bored, having a hard time ordering groceries, and are stuck inside with those children they insisted on having in a freakin' rush. I bet there were some regrets in the early days of the pandemic from the young women concerning shunning birth control and college for motherhood.

2. If Ben and Jessa say "season" one more time!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeremy and Ben are trying to study from home with their little blessings but are struggling. Michelle can't remember how many people are living at the tin mansion but it's definitely over the ten people maximum. Jeer is seen in the tin mansion and then later hunkering down with Jed in their house so I don't believe they even know where their kids live from moment to moment. Jana lost track of them years ago. Michelle sympathizes with the fact that most of the world is now homeschooling and admits it's a struggle. Ben is still tutoring the kids over video chat but Johannah admits it's hard to pay attention. Josie and Michelle make disinfecting wipes and clean the nasty kitchen. Jim Bob does nothing.

3. John and Abbie are just hanging around their ugly trailer house planting a survivalist garden. I know these kids like to start small and save up and hopefully buy a bigger place with cash but John had years to save up. Why is he shacking up with Abby and his baby in that tornado target rust bucket?

4. Jana and her gal pal, Laura, attempt to teach the younger sisters how to watercolor paint. Josie has a hard time following Jana's directions on how to use the paints. She has her own ideas. She is eventually kicked out of the painting session for poor behavior. I talked to my source about Josie's behavior and she said she was surprised Josie behaved as well as she did for Jana. That she must have been bribed because Josie is typically very "rude and disrespectful much of the time." I guess even more so than seen on TV. My source isn't aware of any cognitive issues with Josie. Maybe it's just youngest child syndrome. The Duggars use this scene to discuss patience during quarantine. I had tons of patience. My class got to spend all day with their parents while I stayed home and lowered my blood pressure.

5. Family Fun Night is now being held via zoom. They play a Duggar trivia game and of course Ben and Jessa win. They're the killer competitive ones. Jinger looks like she didn't want to participate. She can barely crack a smile. And Jed and Jeer announce they're not courting or expecting. Thank goodness! Derick would be tweeting up a storm if they were.

6. Rewind to eight months earlier. Jinger and Jeremy are moving to California...STILL! In this episode they finally arrive. But first they make some weird stops. Ben shaves his beard and then plays a trick on his kids to see if they recognize him. They don't which shows how easily Ben can be replaced.

7. The Vuolos stop in Roswell to see an alien museum. The Duggars think the producer is ridiculous to ask them if they believe in aliens. They might want to read up on the Founding Fathers' beliefs in alien life. Especially George Washington. I'm always amazed that so-called religious people put God in such a small box. Anyway, John thinks aliens have only been spotted in New Mexico and Abbie says she feels like an alien sometimes. Please tell, Abbie. Spill some tea.
