Transparency is the game.

Piero Hincapié is one of those defenders who doesn’t quite fit the traditional mould of either a centre-back or a left-back, but brings qualities that can be very valuable in the right system.

Everyone keeps saying “free will.”

But free will doesn’t address the question.

If God is truly all-knowing, then before creating anyone, He already knew every choice they would make and whether they would end up in heaven or hell.

He still chose to create them anyway.

So the question isn’t whether humans have free will. It’s why an all knowing God would create someone He already knew would be eternally lost. Simply saying “free will” doesn’t answer that.

If God is all-knowing, why did he create people he already knew would go to hell?

Of all the women in The Polygamist, I believe Essie is the most tragic character. While Joyce's pain is visible and Mathipa's struggles play out in public, Essie's suffering happens quietly in the shadows.

She is the woman who spent years loving a man who never publicly claimed her, sacrificing parts of herself while asking for very little in return.

When we first meet Essie, she appears to be Jonas's brother's wife. She is largely removed from the drama consuming the Gomora family, even though she is invested in it.

The revelation that she is actually Jonas's wife completely changes how we view her character. Suddenly, every interaction, every silence, and every compromise takes on a different meaning.

We realize that Essie has been living a double life for years, carrying a burden that nobody publicly acknowledges.

Essie represents a different kind of love from Joyce and Mathipa. Joyce fights for Jonas. Mathipa pursues Jonas. Essie waits for Jonas.

Her entire relationship is built on patience, sacrifice, and hope. She continuously accepts conditions that most people would reject.

She accepts being hidden, sharing him, broken promises, long periods of absence and accepts a life where she can never openly claim the man she loves.

Her greatest strength is her loyalty. Few characters in the series love as consistently as Essie does. Even when Jonas repeatedly disappoints her, she continues to show him kindness and understanding.

When his health deteriorates, she is still one of the few people willing to care for him. Her love is not dependent on status, wealth, or public recognition. It is rooted in history, shared experiences, and genuine affection.

However, that same loyalty is also her greatest weakness. Essie mistakes endurance for love in much the same way Joyce does.

She spends years convincing herself that patience will eventually be rewarded. She keeps believing that Jonas will one day give her the place she deserves in his life.

In many ways, she becomes trapped by her own hope. The more she sacrifices, the harder it becomes to walk away because leaving would mean admitting that those sacrifices were never truly valued.

What makes her story particularly heartbreaking is the impact it has on her children. Essie is willing to endure being hidden, but her children are forced to endure it too.

Sarah grows up watching her father publicly celebrate other children while she remains a secret. The emotional wounds Sarah carries are not simply the result of Jonas's actions.
They are also the consequence of Essie accepting a situation that denied her children the recognition they deserved.

This is where Essie's character becomes morally complex. She is both a victim and, unintentionally, an enabler.

Her willingness to tolerate secrecy allows the arrangement to continue for years. While her choices come from love, they also contribute to the pain experienced by her children.

One of the most powerful aspects of Essie's character is that she rarely demands anything. Unlike Joyce and Mathipa, who openly challenge Jonas, Essie often suffers in silence.

Yet silence should never be mistaken for weakness. There is incredible strength in the way she survives years of disappointment without becoming bitter.

By the end of the series, she remains one of the few people who genuinely mourns Jonas. Unlike the others, she remembers not only the man he became but also the young man she fell in love with.

She carries memories of his struggles, his dreams, and the promises they once made to each other. This makes her grief different. She is mourning both the man who existed and the man she always hoped he would become.
Ultimately, she is the embodiment of unconditional love, but The Polygamist challenges us to question whether unconditional love is always healthy.
While other characters spend the series fighting to be chosen, she spends it waiting to be acknowledged. And in many ways, that is the saddest fate of all.

Most people think endometriosis is just painful periods.

It isn't.

It's tissue similar to the uterine lining growing where it shouldn't, causing inflammation every month. It can scar organs, reduce fertility and turn work, sex, exercise even using the toilet into pain.

There is no cure because health researchers still don't fully understand what causes it.

The best thing to discover is yourself, love yourself, prioritize yourself. It’s so fulfilling.
