ach that was directed to KoyaanisqatsiI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

IIRC on Trading Spouses families exchange a parent to see how that parent would deal with the other family's problems. So what really was going onhere? Did she throw this tirade when they offered to have her on the show, or while she was at the other family's house, or after she came back to her own home"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

Here's more info about the episode and family:
It’s a hot day in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. The Perrin family gathers around, while Marguerite Perrin, the mother hen of the family, looks for ways to cool down. Marguerite is admittedly the queen of the family, while her husband, Barry, is the laid back handyman who does whatever his wife asks of him. The Perrin parents have two children, Ashley and Brooke, along with Ashley’s daughter Abigail. Ashley is spends her days as a proud dance teacher at a local dance studio owned by Marguerite and Ashley.
Marguerite also says that she can hear God and is in constant communication with him. The Perrin family are all strong believers of the Christian faith, following in the footsteps of their mother.
Boxborough, Pennsylvania is the home of the D’Amico-Flisher family, a very spiritual family who live a non-traditional lifestyle. Between Jeanne and Chris, they have two children, Elliot and Emma. And Chris has another son named Miles. Jeanne is involved in astrology and hypnosis, and she has been a certified hypnotherapist for fourteen years. Jeanne is a person who just likes to connect with people. On top of that, she co-hosts a national talk show alongside her husband.
Departure day, the Perrin family gathers together for a final prayer as Marguerite heads off to Boxborough and Chris helps Jeanne with her luggage.
Chris wanders the baggage claim in search of Marguerite and finally finds her waiting. The two introduce themselves, “You look like Jesus, so I’m comfortable,” Marguerite jokes. Barry waits with a sign in hand and Jeanne quickly finds him. Barry and Jeanne hit if off quickly, but Jeanne is hesitant to say a lot until she knows Barry better.
Ashley, Brooke and Abigail hurry to the door to meet their new mommy. They’re all excited and welcome her in. Jeanne immediately felt the wonderful family energy in the house.
Chris and Marguerite drive home in a rain storm, and the kids seem nervous to meet their new mom. Chris shows Marguerite their home office, which is covered in colorful paintings and astrology charts, “It’s the hippie Partridge family,” she notes. When Chris shows Marguerite their backyard, Marguerite’s focus becomes a large star built on the side of the barn. Chris assures her it’s harmless, and not a symbol of witchcraft.
Day one begins. Jeanne wants to get closer to the family, and Barry asks her to tell him about herself. Jeanne tells him that she’s a hypnotherapist, but the conversation dies quickly and Barry heads off. Jeanne moves over to Ashley and asks if she can try hypnotherapy on her, Ashley is more than willing and wants to learn from Jeanne.
Marguerite says she’s out of her element and totally close-minded to the idea of horoscopes. She’s being very cautious to not open any doors to “dark sided things.”
Ashley lies on her bed and Jeanne begins her hypnotherapy. Jeanne proceeds to do an entire session with Ashley, but in the end, Ashley is completely asleep. Ashley says she enjoyed it, and she was happy to get a nice nap.
Marguerite is having some issues with the D’Amico-Flisher dryer. It’s making a horrible noise. She calls for the kids, but they’re all out relaxing in the yard. Marguerite heads outside and the kids say it’s the dryer noise is normal. Marguerite says she has a horrible feeling in her body. On her way back into the house, Marguerite says the garbage smells and she becomes very ill. Emma sneaks a smell of the garbage and says there’s nothing wrong with it, while Marguerite looses her lunch outside.
Day three, Chris is organizing a “solstice party” so that Marguerite will understand that what he believes in is just another way of looking at life. Chris tells Marguerite that the party is to celebrate the sun at its highest point and that day will have more daylight than any other day. Marguerite is having a little anxiety about the party, she doesn’t understand the ritual and it makes her uneasy.
Jeanne is glad the family has learned about her, but now she wants to learn about the family. Marguerite’s friends will be coming over to the house and Jeanne hopes they will give her a better understanding of the Perrins.
When they arrive, Jeanne tells the friends that she’s a hypnotherapist. The friends, in return ask Jeanne what her spiritual background is, which Jeanne is hesitant to answer. Jeanne says she believes in a God, but perhaps not the same God they do. Jeanne felt attacked by the questioning and then was treated like an outsider by the other women. “They have a belief, and they don’t want to be flexible to someone else’s,” Jeanne comments.
Chris calls his guests together around a fire and leads them to grow closer with cosmos. Marguerite is clearly disturbed by everything going on around her. Chris defends that the whole celebration is just for fun, as Marguerite retreats into the house.
Day four rolls around and Marguerite didn’t sleep well after the alleged dark sided activities of the night before. Chris wants to continue reaching out to Marguerite and takes her to the radio station. The guest on the show that day is a psychic. When they get on the air, Chris announces to the audience the guest is a psychic. Marguerite immediately gets defensive and furious. She storms out of the radio booth, while she begins breaking down. “Find me a church,” she orders the camera crew. Chris is baffled; he doesn’t understand how someone can be so close-minded.
Margaret is still freaking out about coming within 100 yards of a psychic. After crying in the bathroom, Chris wants Margaret to talk to the man, but Margaret is afraid to get evil on her. The psychic makes an effort, but it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for somebody to get through to Margaret.
In the car, Chris tries to console Margaret and apologizes for making her feel uncomfortable. Back in Louisiana, Jeanne makes lunch with the Perrin girls in an attempt to bond with them. Ashley barks out orders to Brooke the entire time, which concerns Jeanne. During lunch, Jeanne tells Brooke that she can't wait to see her dance, but Ashley pipes in that Brooke could be better. Jeanne worries that Brooke is getting lost.
In Massachusetts, Margaret is praying to God to save her from reason. God tells her to introduce the Flishers to church. And Jeanne takes Brooke out for a day together, something special just for Brooke, to teach her to make her own choices. Jeanne takes Brooke to a store so she can pick out some clothes and jewelry for herself, by herself. Brooke is so happy to be treated as her own person by Jeanne.
Margaret begins preparing for spiritual warfare. Not a literal crusade, but a figurative one. Although when Margaret talks to the Perrin kids about Christ, the look on their faces indicates that they might prefer having their heads lopped off by a Crusader on horseback than listen to Margaret much longer. Margaret then talks to Chris, and asks him to take the family to a church. Chris agrees to try things Margaret's way.
Jeanne and the girls head out to the dance studio. Jeanne gets choked up watching Brooke dance. That night, Margaret feels better now that she's been spiritually cleansed by church. She also feels that she's planted a tiny mustard seed in the kids' heads. Chris asks when it's his turn to expose Margaret to his views, but she says the time for that has come and gone. Chris asks Margaret why, if God created everything, she would be afraid of something God created. Margaret is frightened by the idea that God possibly created a New Age spiritualism rock so heavy that even he can't lift it. Calling Chris silver-tongued, Margaret sits down and sweats for the rest of the evening.
It's the last day, and Jeanne and Margaret must decide how the money will be spent. Then they have their meeting. Margaret tells Jeanne that Chris forced dark-sided stuff on her, then tells her to give herself over to the Bible. Particularly the early books, when God smites people, we can only assume. Jeanne seems upset that Chris shoved his views down Margaret's throat. Margaret declares herself exhausted from spiritual warfare.
The Flishers eagerly welcome Jeanne home. Jeanne reads Margaret's letter. She's given the Flishers $400 to get rid of their possessed dryer, $3,000 to Elliott to buy a dirt bike, $3,000 to Miles for whatever he wants, $1,800 for Jeanne to spend on Emma, engraved King James Bibles for the group and $36,000 for sustaining the family. Jeanne then asks her family about Margaret's thoughts on the family, and Chris explains that Margaret maybe doesn't see things exactly how they are.
And in Louisiana, Margaret announces to a cab driver that she's never met before that she's happy to be back home, in God's country. Apparently God loves creating stifling heat and bizarre insects. When she arrives home, Margaret finally stops biting her tongue about her religion and goes absolutely insane in the name of the Lord. As she rants and raves, nearly speaking in tongues, her children look like the Disciples when they were visited by the Holy Spirit. Terrified and confused and hoping they don't end up dead.
Margaret tears up Jeanne's ungodly envelope, declaring it to be unclean. As only a true spiritual warrior could do, Margaret throws the pieces of paper out the front door. A dozen evil ghosts immediately rush out of the house and try to put the envelope back together. But they can't do it in time, and their ethereal presence simply dissolves.
Later, we learn what Jeanne had earmarked for the family. Ashley got $5,000 to pay for dance certification, $10,000 to help Ashley and Abigail move to their own place, $15,000 for Barry to spend on the family, and $20,000 for Margaret to get the gastric bypass surgery that she wanted. Upon further review and possibly prayer, Margaret decided to take the money.
Marguerite and her very colorful family live in Ponchatoula Louisiana, a small town right outside of New Orleans. Her husband Barry was a stockbroker for seven years and then worked in sales at Guillot Supplies. Barry is a fun loving and easy going man with a quick whit that compliments Marguerite’s boisterous and flamboyant personality. Some women are just too wild to be tamed, so Barry just runs wild with her, usually not by choice. Marguerite along with her oldest daughter Ashley own and run an award winning dance studio in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Brooke, Marguerite and Barry’s youngest child is very mild mannered and easy going. Brooke always has a smile and never a harsh word. Brooke travels in the dance circuit and is currently a national title winner. Brooke has been featured in dance websites and in national magazines for her talent.
The Perrin family has always been a very close family and the unexpected pregnancy of Ashley brought them some rocky times but it was God and their faith that kept them close as they welcomed the birth of Abigail into the Perrin home. Abigail is now considered the heart of the household. They consider themselves Christians in a sense that they believe in God and they believe that Jesus gave his life for all of us. Marguerite is a firm believer that God loves everyone unconditionally and does not like any alternatives brought into her life or her family’s life.
Marguerite attempts to walk a straight line in her faith but the drama in her many times leads her down the winding road. She’s an extreme on her beliefs and has no problem arguing her side on anything especially when it comes to religion. Barry describes Marguerite as shocking pink in a pastel world.
