A Breakdown Of All The Drama That Happened On S2 Of “The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives”

While all the incredibly petty (and entertaining) fights are happening, there’s actually some serious and legit issues happening in the lives of the Momtokkers. In addition to Jen’s mental health struggle, both Taylor and Mikayla are shown seeing therapists. Mikayla opens up about experiencing sexual abuse as a child, and there’s a brief but impactful sequence about her healing journey. 

Meanwhile, Mayci and Demi are both having fertility issues, and for some reason Layla (probably at the behest of the producers) instigates a game of “pregnancy test roulette” which winds up being really cruel. It turns out Mayci has had a successful IVF round and is secretly pregnant, and her bestie, Mikayla, is also pregnant, so there are two positive pregnancy tests — one of which Demi pulls out, instinctively reacting with joy until she remembers it’s not her own test. It’s a brutal scene — Demi may have been the villain of the season, but no one deserves such an awful “game”.
