The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County keeps the group in Palm Springs for its second episode. “The Book of Psalm Springs” runs 49 minutes and dropped with the rest of the season on November 12, 2026, on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.
McCall DaPron hopes the desert trip will pull the group together under her lead. Aspyn Ovard confronts McCall and Jordan McClanahan over gay rights, and the Bobbi Althoff and McCall feud takes center stage. A manicure leads to a leaked secret, and marital strain grows, but the episode does not say which secret leaked or whose marriage strained.
What Happened in Episode 2
McCall DaPron’s Palm Springs Plan
The episode centers on a dreamy “Palm Royale”-themed trip to Palm Springs. McCall hopes the desert oasis will bring the group together under her leadership. Instead, the trip turns into a power struggle, and the two sides of the group pull further apart.
Aspyn Ovard Confronts McCall and Jordan on Gay Rights
During the Palm Springs trip, Aspyn confronts McCall and Jordan about their resistance to explicitly saying they support “gay rights,” even though the Mormon Church’s practices run against it. Aspyn told Bustle the group “talked about politics a lot in that conversation, and that was cut out from the show.”
Aspyn said she was not asking them to endorse her relationship alone. “I wasn’t looking for them to just say they support my relationship. I want the people I surround myself with to be aligned with supporting human rights. It’s a hill I will die on,” she told Bustle. “It was hard at that moment because I don’t feel like they were understanding exactly what I was asking, but I know they were trying and have kept trying.” She added of the cut, “That’s Disney for you, I guess.”
The Bobbi Althoff and McCall DaPron Feud
The Bobbi and McCall conflict runs through the first two episodes. Bobbi says she was not angry during the fight. She was terrified about how the footage would be edited and how she would be perceived.
The two reconciled off camera in Palm Springs, but producers told them that was not “reality TV.” That pushed them to lower their guards in later episodes.
After filming, on a 10-hour flight home, McCall sat next to Bobbi and realized they think in similar ways. She saw how misunderstood Bobbi was, and the two bonded. McCall later said of Bobbi, “I love her, she’s great.”
A Leaked Secret and Marital Strain
A manicure leads to a leaked secret, and marital strain grows in the group. The episode does not identify which secret leaked at the manicure or whose marriage strained, and no source has confirmed either detail.
Aspyn keeps a boundary around her daughter in this episode. She says she refrains from talking about her daughter with the other women because it is “Triggering and traumatizing.” She told Page Six, “I’ve set boundaries from the beginning. If I make an effort to put myself out there and do things and be around people, I just want to be distracted and I want to feel as normal as I can because I don’t ever get to feel that way anymore.”
What Happened Before Episode 2
Episode 1 set up the season’s two sides. Aspyn sat down with Parker Ferris for a therapy session and revealed his decade of secret drinking and their daughter’s terminal cancer. Jen visited a California law firm as she decided to move ahead with her divorce. Salomé told the group about her brief relationship with Chase McWhorter.
The official synopsis for the premiere also teased a new recruit brought in to settle the sides. That recruit’s identity is still not confirmed.
