I'm going to go ahead and defend Jorge Garcia right now. I think he's delightful. I'm a massive Lost fan. I met him once at an event in Brooklyn, and he was extraordinarily kind. Jorge Garcia, I mean you no harm. Well, Lori told the cops that she was going to have Melanie call them as soon as they got back from watching Frozen 2.
But just after the cops left, Chad returned to come up with a plan, albeit a very bad one. He called Melanie Gibb and told her that the police would be calling about JJ. But she must not, under any circumstances, pick up. And that's it.
Well, Lori then called Melanie Gibb herself and asked Melanie for a recent photo of, quote, children running around. And Kim later testified that Lori had implied that she wanted Melanie to make it look like the photo was of JJ, but Melanie declined to participate.
Now, the cascade of lies that came from the mouths of Lori, Chad, and Alex was enough justification for search warrants on all the townhouses rented by cult members. But when the cops returned for the search the next day, they found that Lori and Alex were both gone, and all of Lori's clothes were missing. As it turned out, though, Chad, Lori...
He does like it. We know he likes it. He loves it. He loves it. We know he loves it. As it turned out, Chad, Lori, and Alex were not necessarily on the run. Instead, they moved on to the next phase of solidifying their cult. See, after spending Thanksgiving at Knott's Berry Farm... Classless.
Well, after that little vacation, Chad and Lori joined their most ardent members in Las Vegas for a flurry of cult weddings. Remember last episode I said they made all the people divorce and they made all the people marry? They hadn't made them marry just yet. They just paired them together and said, you're going to marry this person. This is your soulmate.
This is the point where they actually went through with it.
So two days after the cops executed a search warrant on the cult's townhouse enclave, Chad and Lori met Alex Cox, Zulema Pestanis, and Lori's niece, Melanie Boudreau, in Las Vegas.
Now, the first wedding that night was between Alex Cox and Zulema. Alex was following orders from Chad and Lori to marry Zulema because they told him that that's just what was supposed to happen. And Zulema got to marry the cult's protector, which upped her status just the slightest bit.
I just fucking hate that. I just hate him so much.
But then there was the matter of who was going to marry Lori's niece, Melanie Boudreaux. See, after her divorce from Brandon, Melanie Boudreaux had been trolling the Mormon dating sites, and she'd found a poor sap named Ian Pawlowski. Now, as far as I know, Ian and Melanie had never met in person prior to their Vegas wedding.
But Melanie was reasonably cute, and Ian was very much into her Mormon doomsday prepper vibes. Yeah. Wow, I'm looking at it.
Yeah. Of course there is. There's a dating site for everybody. Wow. There's a dating site for people who work in the funeral business. See, that's cool. That's fun. But I'm just saying, there's sites for everyone. Wow. There's sites for balloon fetishes. Oh, really? Yeah. Meet up with somebody else who likes getting horny with balloons. Pop it off.
Well, after the ceremony between Melanie and this new guy, Ian Palowski, who, just keep in mind, this guy just showed up. Yeah, he's fresh. He's brand new. Brand new. He don't know nobody. He doesn't know anything about any of this. He just thinks he found this cute woman on a Mormon single site, and he got lucky. And they have multiple cult members back in Rexburg that could probably pick
Yeah. Well, after the ceremony, Melanie revealed everything to Ian about the cult that he was now unwillingly a part of, from the end times 144,000 prophecy to the light-dark scale, as well as the ever-present threat presented by zombies possessed by demon slugs. But instead of bolting, Ian basically said, fuck yeah, sounds cool.
Yeah. He described Melanie's lowdown of the entire Daybell mythology as fun and exciting, saying that it felt as if they'd ripped their entire worldview from a Dungeons and Dragons manual.
It's a direct quote from Ian.
But after Melanie Boudreau was done with the world building, things turned very dark very quickly when she got into the actual plot. She told Ian that her ex-husband Brandon was possessed by a demon. Okay. And that Alex Cox, the man Ian had just met, was actively trying to murder Brandon as a consequence.
Melanie Boudreau then went even further, telling Ian that Lori Vallow's kids, Tylee and JJ, they'd also become zombies. And Melanie believed that Alex had taken care of them as well. In other words, what started off as a fun LARP for Ian Pawlowski very quickly turned into a terrifying nightmare.
So after hearing the plot, Ian Pawlowski texted his ex-wife, whom I assume he still had a good relationship with, and he asked her to Google Melanie Boudreau because Ian couldn't do it himself in Melanie's presence. It was an excuse to reach out. Yeah. And Ian's ex-wife did so. What? What? Oh, what?
