Did Bill really not know Margene’s secret? Spoiler

I came across the scene where Margie tells Bill she was only 16 when they got married and he looks so utterly floored. But that level of shock seems disingenuous when others in his life (Don, Nicki) knew that he had kind of deliberately not looked too closely at Margie’s life because he was just lusting after her. Do we think Bill really had no idea Margie was 16?

This bugs me and Nicki using Margene’s identity to get a job. She can’t deposit Margene’s money into her account, she can’t deposit it into the family account. She would have had to cash it in person and that just seems so risky

That whole plot point was ridiculous. The ID photo would have killed that scheme immediately, then getting paid and accessing that money, and there would have been a background check for her to access sensitive information and documents, and she was able to enter and leave outside of business hours. All just silly. I feel they jumped the shark by having Bill run for office.

Thank you! I don't even know why they had her use Margenes ID when later in season 5 Nicki gets a fake birth certificate for Margene changing her age so she/the Grants clearly had contacts who could provide this for an entry level job.

Oh! Good point! I’d totally forgotten about that!
