The history of the world is filled with predatory men who will go to great lengths to justify abusing and oppressing women and girls.
On Under the Banner of Heaven Season 1 Episode 5, things get bleak for all the women involved, and the truth about Ron is revealed.
It's the running theme of a story that keeps losing its focus.

Jeb's meeting with the Bishop and his wife reveals that these women were of little consequence to the church, possibly because they were both outsiders and forgotten by their families either due to distance or because they had written her off for "joining a cult."
Chloe Pirrie handles Matilda's resigned courage gracefully, making us feel the disgust...
