Sister Wives Go to Therapy

The Brown family sits down and discusses the awkwardness of their last meeting at Coyote Pass. Kody and Janelle argue over who was responsible for the potential "Backdoor Deal." And Meri speaks her truth and says she will not be silenced.
This is my first tell nothing! In this episode, I cover Robyn and Kody's constant projection about the GIRL GAMES, David low-key embarrassing Christine, Janelle getting caught in a lie (or, at least, a not-quite-the-whole-truth), and Meri laughs her way through pretending to be unbothered. Let's just say, I do not envy Sukanya.

Kody finishes his apology tour meeting Meri in Cedar City. This may be the toughest apology of all. Janelle travels to Salt Lake City to seek a spiritual release from her marriage to Kody. Christine explains the concept of a "basement wife" to David.
For their apology tour conversation, Meri and Kody each use their rehearsed lines, but Kody's fall flat. There are only so many times he can say 'I apologize' and 'Nothing but goodwill' before it loses its meaning. Janelle is dipping her toes in deconstructing her religion. We learn that Christine and David survey their unfinished basement, spurring a conversation about what it means to be the symbolic basement wife, specifically when you choose to live in the literal basement. And Robyn lies about not discussing the other marriages with Kody all those years. Throughout this episode, I imagine what it would be like to do couples therapy with Kody and Meri, and my goodness, what a nightmare.

Kody's apology to Christine starts well but gets tense when David brings up Kody's relationships with his kids. Janelle seeks guidance from Meri on getting her spiritual release. Meri's shocked friends try to talk her out of meeting up with Kody.
David breaks the conspiracy of silence and brings up Kody's strained relationship with his kids to his face. Christine shows us how gray rocking is really done. Janelle, intimidated by church (read: cult) leadership, sends a text to inquire about symbolic divorce. Meri is steeling herself for her conversation with Kody, and to my dismay, Kody uses the word triangulation semi-appropriately. Is it just Kody or has the manosphere learned another therapy term they can weaponize? This is my favorite episode of the season so far! All bangers, no fluff. While the exchange between David and Kody was exciting, I can't stop thinking about the conversation between Robyn and Aurora. Robyn really can't let her kids grow up, can she?

Kody is nervous about his second apology as he meets up with Christine and David. Janelle's friends ask her if she would ever get back with Kody. Ron meets Meri's friends for the first time as she hosts a fundraiser for Jenn's husband.
In this episode, Kody attempts to apologize to Christine, but can't stop himself from taking credit for her happiness. Christine is nervous, but David has a steadying presence. Janelle’s confused post-conversation with Kody, but fails to give her friends any juicy details. We see multiple sides of Meri-- her kindness and loyalty as well as her snide passive aggressiveness. Robyn’s still trying to protect Kody from taking true accountability, and Kody apologizes through gritted teeth.
