Episode 7 of Apostates explores the complex reasons why Emma Hale Smith chose to remain in Nauvoo, Illinois after Joseph Smith's death instead of traveling west with Brigham Young and the main body of Saints. We examine her incredible resilience through years of persecution and loss, her fundamental opposition to plural marriage, the financial crisis she faced as a widow, and her strained relationship with Church leadership. We discuss how her decision led directly to the formation of what became the Community of Christ and created a lasting doctrinal split in the Latter-day Saint movement over polygamy and succession.
