Where the heck is Teeny? She's had some weirdness with showing porn to neighbor kids and preaching to the minister while on the family vacation but has been pretty much absent otherwise. Most noticably on the finale where the 'whole' family was gathered for communion. Margene seems to have misplaced a couple kids along the way as well...............Family and children are the most important aspect of these people's lives. Expecting viewers to just forget they exist is kind of insulting.

Yes these dropped storylines are annoying. I can watch daytime soap operas for this kind of annoyance.
Big Love slacked off in some areas in this season, but in other areas they rocked. So its like a happy/sad emotion with me lol!
Hopefully they will address some of these unresolved SL's next season... Such as...
-Where is Rhonda?
-Where is Tancy?
-Is Ben still in love with Margie?
-What ever happened with Tancy's little porn ring?
-Will Don ever see his kids again?
-What happened to Don's son who is Benny's best friend?
-What ever happened to Benny's twin girlfriends?
-What happened to Frankie and his mother?
-What happened to the compound chick that was living in the flop house?
So on and so forth

It seems to me that most of the time, this group displays much more concern about HAVING children than actually parenting them. A few episodes ago, there was a dither about why the neighbors didn't want Teenie/Tancy to play with their kids. When the reason was revealed, it was pretty much dismissed as trivial - with no follow-up. And when she found Ben's note, there seemed to be no concern for her emotional well being after what I would think would be a rather startling discovery for a pre-teen. I'm not sure how old she is supposed to be, but obviously she's already sexually aware and probably headed for trouble. With all those "mothers" in her life, wouldn't you think someone would be looking out for her? At least a little bit?

The writers really did not pay attention to detail this season. We should have had some explination regarding the absense of certain characters.

i sure doubt that based on what we saw of her in the "vacation" episode: "my dad can baptize you right now," she said to the BAPTIST MINISTER ... crikey!

Where is Teenie? Well wherever she is, she is in a much better place than at the Henrickson Compound. I hope she's at summer camp away from all the drama at home. Maybe she will grow up to be the normal one.

Perhaps the producers finally realized she looks like a muppet.

Where ever the actress may be, (and for what ever the reason), the show should explain where the Teenie character is, with a few conversations here and there between any combination of the characters.
It's just so annoying/frustrating not to know, and such an easy thing to fix.

My theory is that the actress playing Teeny had it in her contract that she worked during the summer so she could go to school normally. (There is very little information about her on the Internet, not even her age, which suggests her parents are, rightly, very protective of her.)
When the writers' strike rescheduled filming, they would have had to write around her, and maybe came to an arrangement that she would only be in a couple of episodes this season.

Margene's two boys were there. Ben was holding one and the other was standing beside him. Nell was probably already down for the night. Teenie has been noticably absent this year. At first, I did not think much of it; she is at the age where kids start to hang out with their friends alot. But in the past few episodes, it has been very apparent without explanation. Maybe the actress has some other obligations or something. She has really grown a lot so maybe they are making her scarce so enough time has passed to explain the growth spurt. Hopefully she will be back with bells on next season.
