[Kody] Previously on Sister Wives...
[Meri] Kody, actually, said to me,
"I have no desire, Meri,
to have a relationship with you.
You can stick around and you can come visit me
and Robyn and the kids if you want,
but we're never gonna have a marriage relationship anymore."
This is my story, too,
and I have the right to tell my story.
-[all] Cheers. -Happy... ex-Anniversary.
[whooping]
I'm a big fan of divorce.
I'm just saying, if people are thinking about it,
I say go for it.
Do you understand that you lie?
That's the reason I call you the Teflon Queen.
-I do not... -Because you're lying about what has happened
-and what's been going on. -It's wild to me, that you think I lied
because I think you're manipulating.
[Kody] Too many lines have been crossed.
I've given too much.
I don't wanna live like this anymore.
-[Kody] No, you... -Shut your [bleep] mouth
and let me talk to you for a minute.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You know what? Let me tell you what.
-No. -[Kody] No.
-You stay and talk. -[Kody] I'm done listening to you.
-Okay? So we're done? -[Kody] Good bye.
[bleep] you.
[exhales] The whole thing, frankly, makes me nauseous.
This is the agreement you required of me in order to get married.
If I'm ever not in love with you,
I won't just sit there
and be in a pathetic place with you.
In so many ways, this moment is just about what we each want,
and those aren't the same things.
[voice shaking] I wanted to sit on a porch with my sister wives.
[crying] I don't understand.
[theme music playing]
[somber music playing]
[Kody] The dream of the big polygamist family is just completely shot.
It's over.
Christine and I just don't talk.
And Janelle and I have been separated.
Meri? Do we say we're divorced?
No, I don't think so,
but we're not in a marriage,
and I don't want to be in that marriage.
The feelings from the "breakup with family" are just raw.
Like, "Who am I without my family?"
Oh, I'm glad I brought my jacket.
So we bought Coyote Pass over four years ago.
We've got a big payment coming due.
And with the family falling apart,
we got to figure out what we're gonna do.
[Robyn] So if we don't pay the land off in the allotted time,
we can lose all of it.
It's really a stupid contract, to be honest.
I guess if you build over there,
right there is where your house would be, I assume.
Well, clear over there. Yeah.
When Christine moved, she took the equity from her home
that basically we, as a family, had bought her.
[Christine] When I sold it, I just kept the money from the sale of the house
and just gave up my rights to Coyote Pass.
I just didn't want anything to do with it.
I needed a clean break.
And it was just easier, emotionally, to just let it go.
[Kody] So Coyote Pass has been handed over the last four of us,
Meri, Janelle, Robyn and me.
I mean, you still wanna build?
-Don't you? -Well...
I don't know. [chuckles softly]
Like, this was our dream as a family.
I suppose... [laughs sarcastically]
I think that dream's over. I don't know.
We're not really "One big family" anymore.
We're more like people who own property.
Everything with Meri, it's...
it's like, "Okay, we're just... We just need to divide it up.
I mean, Meri didn't seem like she was never gonna be out here.
She didn't to you?
She didn't have, like, a definite, "No, I'm not."
So about a week ago,
Kody and I had our official breakup conversation.
You want something that... we can't have together.
[Meri] I've seen this coming for a long time.
For the past nearly decade,
he has pulled himself away from me completely, emotionally.
Nothing has changed actually,
because we still have that spiritual marriage intact.
And now I will be moving forward with having that terminated.
But that's gonna take some time.
Like, why in the world would I want to be tied to somebody eternally
who doesn't want me?
Well, let's be real. She's not interested in having a spot here.
-If you and I are living over there... -You never know.
...do you think that Meri would ever want to live here...
-You never know. -...have a retreat here at all?
You never know.
This place is just a source of pain for me.
He led me to believe that he would work on things by saying,
"Oh, Meri, when we moved to Flagstaff
this will be a good time to have a new beginning for us."
Like, he led me to believe those things.
This is what he's done for many, many years.
I get it that she says there's mixed messages
because as I started to try and make the relationship work,
I'm like, "Why would I do this?
I would not court and date her now."
Then why the hell did you marry me?
You know that every night when I go to bed,
I see my home on that piece of land over there?
Then, I see Janelle's house, I see Meri's house,
I did see Christine's house.
Her ship's sailed.
So before I left Kody, I was kind of dreading, you know,
"If I leave him, I'm gonna be single."
And I don't really wanna be single for the rest of my life.
And in 50, you know, halfway through life and single.
I never wanted that.
But no, I love it.
Starting to get into the dating scene,
and it's been fun, having a good time.
I just want to keep it like that,
just wanna have fun.
I'm discouraged about the whole thing.
I mean, there could be some healing this year.
This next year, coming up.
Yeah. I don't.
Well, no. You and Janelle, like,
you guys could still get this figured out.
I don't...
Well, don't... like, you just need to, like, keep trying.
[Janelle] Kody and I are not reconciled.
We are not back together.
I'm actually, um, finding a lot of peace over this new life.
I wish I was in your place...
-a little bit. -I just don't know how to let this all go.
I committed to this family 100% of myself.
I've got to be really honest with you.
I'd almost rather...
scrap it or sell it and then just start again somewhere else.
I can't...
I can't talk about that.
I'm sorry. That is so not where I'm at.
I can't talk about...
-I cannot even... -I can't talk anymore about reconciliation.
[Robyn sighing] It's difficult some days.
There's days when I just feel like the idiot... [sighs] that doesn't, um...
that doesn't know how to let it go.
Ever since I suggested the one-home thing...
the one-home idea,
I realized that was probably a little selfish of me.
No. You were just wanting your family together.
I wonder if I would've never suggested that,
if that wasn't just the catalyst...
of realization for everybody, especially me.
All I feel now is just cynicism about the entire thing.
I mourned the loss of this ideal that we were striving for,
this family.
The big spark for me was when his relationship broke down with my children,
and he didn't seem like he would move heaven and earth to fix it.
And I thought, "Okay, that was what was really holding me here."
I hate it when I'm spoiling your dreams.
So I still have a vision
of what that house could be like over there.
I still have the visions of what I was thinking we would build.
It was a vision...
of being here.
There's a vision for everybody, for everything.
Um, that has all changed,
and I think you are being unrealistic
to think that Meri would ever want to live here with us.
[Kody] I don't know how Meri fits in the family
'cause I don't fit in the family anymore.
I've been [bleep] excommunicated from my own family.
I have this marriage and these kids with Robyn,
and then I have some relationship with some of the other kids,
and it's infrequent.
And so I'm like, "What do I do with all of this?
It doesn't feel like a family."
[Meri] It's fine.
Go love Robyn.
Love her the best that you can.
But be [bleep] honest with me.
I don't care if you put a bleep over that.
[upbeat music playing]
[Christine] Mykelti is pregnant with twins,
and so we have to have a party to celebrate that.
And with the first baby, you have a baby shower.
But with the second baby, and third in her case, it's a baby sprinkle.
I'm currently 30 weeks along, but I'm due December 1st.
-But if we make it to 35... -34 weeks is, like, the goal...
-Safety. -...for the twins.
So that's four weeks left.
We don't know how much longer after that.
It's gonna be a gambling theme.
Blackjack, Vegas style.
I need somebody to teach me how to play the game.
-Do you know how to count to 21? -Yes.
That's how you play the game.
The theme is Double-down.
Double-down is something that you do when you're playing blackjack.
But we're doing Double-down because it's twins.
[sighing] So cute.
-Double hug. Double hug. -[both exclaiming] Hey!
[Christine] I mean, there's a lot of people coming to the sprinkle,
a lot of friends, a lot of family.
Janelle's not coming.
She was definitely invited, but she's not able to come.
Meri won't be invited.
I... I have not told Janelle or Christine
that Kody and I had that breakup conversation
and that we're splitting.
I don't know if somebody else has told them or not,
but I haven't said anything to them.
I don't really feel the need to.
-[Dealer] You're gonna hit on that? -You're gonna hit on that?
-Why not? -[women whooping]
[Christine] I will do anything for Mykelti.
And Mykelti wants Kody and Robyn at her sprinkle,
so, of course, they can come to the sprinkle.
Robyn will probably be at the Twins birth, I imagine.
I'm a little nervous about seeing them.
I'm nervous.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time I'll be seeing them
after I left.
Just the knife in the kidneys! Over all these years!
And the sacrifices that I made to love you!
Wasted!
I mean, Kody was furious the last time that he spoke to me,
and we haven't talked since.
-[Aspyn] Come on. Come on. -[all cheering]
[Kody] I'm very excited to see Tony and Mykelti.
Robyn and I are terribly nervous, though,
mostly because...
uh, well, I haven't seen Christine in months.
I can't fake this off.
Seeing her, there's so much animosity.
It's all... something that embarrasses me
'cause I think it's all very childish.
But I feel it.
[indistinct conversation]
[Christine] I mean, we could take our bets on that.
Wow.
We didn't think about that with the gambling portion of the sprinkle.
What if we take our bets
on whether or not we're actually all going to get along
in the same place?
No need to go there,
but maybe we should think about that.
[indistinct chatter]
Hello. Hey, Tony.
[Tony] Oh. What's up?
"How are they gonna get along? Are they not gonna get along?"
There might be a bet going, actually,
now that we're talking about it.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Thank you.
Glad you guys came.
[Christine] I don't know what's gonna happen.
This is a gamble.
[indistinct conversation]
[Christine] I'm not gonna, necessarily, say hi.
That would mean I was gonna be friendly,
and I'm not.
[dramatic music playing]
[Robyn] I'm a little nervous going to this baby shower.
The last time I saw Christine was when she told us
that she didn't want a relationship with me and my kids.
I'm just nervous because our divorce hasn't been really amicable.
It's been sad,
and we just hope that the environment is warm and friendly.
-Oh. -[baby cooing]
Oh, oh...
I'm really nervous about Kody and Robyn coming to the sprinkle.
I just am.
-Oh! What's up? -Your stuff.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. Glad you guys came.
Mykelti is like, "Dad and Robyn are here."
And I'm like, "Okay, okay."
Hola, mi bambina.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct conversation]
La samba?
Wanna dance?
[Catherine sighs wearily]
It's hard. I don't know what's gonna happen.
I'm still...
This is a gamble. This is a gamble.
I imagine everything's gonna be okay,
but the last time we saw each other,
which was like a year ago,
was not okay.
[Robyn] Hey. Hi.
You guys just snuck in. Hi.
-Hey, Dad. -Hi. How are you?
-I'm good. -How's it going?
And then I just keep being like, "You know what?
This is about Mykelti, and it's not even about me."
She would love everybody to get back together again
and be one big family again.
She really would.
And this little piggy went, "Ho, ho, ho, ho. He, he, he, he."
Ah. Strange world.
[Catherine] My kids still want to have
a great relationship with their dad.
I still want them to have a great relationship with their dad.
And with Robyn, too.
Do you wanna play blackjack?
Sure.
With somebody else's money,
I'll take every risk that I should have before.
[Robyn] I can't speak for Kody and Christine,
but I kept my distance and did not greet Christine
because she told me she didn't want a relationship
and I don't wanna push myself on her.
I want to have any relationship that I can have,
but it takes two.
I'm gonna stay.
[Christine] Yes. I noticed that Kody and Robyn were at one table,
and I was at another.
I'm not gonna, necessarily, say hi.
[chuckles] Nasty.
Oh. Oh.
How's it going? How is everything?
That would be disingenuous.
And that would mean I was going to be friends
and friendly,
and I'm not.
I'm not gonna be friendly.
That ace would have gone to there anyway.
I think Christine's in a good place
because she's moved out.
She's moved on.
Robyn and I are really, kind of, in a struggling place.
Uh, 23.
-[Robyn groans softly] -Busted. Bummer.
We're probably doing the worst we've ever done in our marriage.
It's been tough. It's been tough between us.
He doesn't know who to blame,
himself or one of the other wives.
Kody's feeling a lot of rejection,
and so I think he's, kind of, looking at me going,
"Are you gonna reject me too?"
And so, I'm on my toes.
I'm having to consistently make sure
that he is not sabotaging our relationship.
And I miss the family experience, you know, the kids,
and I miss the camaraderie that I did have with my sister wives.
And now with this thing with Meri,
it's made it even worse and harder.
I just keep, kind of, crossing my fingers
that Janelle will decide to stick it out and figure it out with Kody.
There is no resource to help with the idea
that I am still married to a man who's going through divorces.
[Dealer] I took a hit for you. I took a hit for you.
-Lucky hit, but... -[Dealer] Okay.
[Kody] I love Robyn, and she's dear to me,
and I respect her dearly.
Her telling me I'm still good
is valuable to me.
I want to give it more credibility.
But I've had three other people basically blame me.
It's just not that easy.
It's like I've gone through an entire experience
with a breakup and then a breakup and then a breakup
of not losing my faith,
but being so angry that I can't look myself in the mirror and say,
"Hey, dude, I love you."
And I can't go to God and say,
"Hey, help me through this mess."
I do,
but my prayers aren't the same kind of prayers they used to be
when I was like, "Hey, thank you for this beautiful family."
Okay. So they did make the square...
I had that. You want any more?
-Are they good? -It was.
Prima still makes her cake once...
her carrot cake with my gluten free recipe.
Your, um, carrot cake is here somewhere.
-Somebody... it is one of them. -Well, it is,
and it's gluten free.
Isn't that cute?
-Hey, husband. -Yum.
Yum.
We have to cut cake.
[Christine] I mean, seeing Kody and Robyn at the party,
I realized, all of a sudden,
that this was more awkward for them.
They're outsiders here,
not me.
I just don't wanna talk to her.
I don't want to see her.
She doesn't wanna see me, I'm sure, either.
-Go for it. -[Catherine] Yeah! Cut it!
Do it.
[Aspyn] Cut it.
[Kody] The divorce has put me in,
I'll be honest, a pretty dark place.
I've spent a lot of time hearing Christina and Janelle berate me
in ways that have challenged my resolve for, sort of, love of myself.
For years, they were singing my praises,
and now they're, sort of, loathing me.
If they're trashing me to the public,
I can't imagine what they're saying to my children.
So, it makes me very uncomfortable.
[Christine] I hear Kody grumble about...
he thinks that I've pitted his kids against him,
and it's just not true.
I'm gonna do everything that I can
to have them have a good relationship with him.
[Robyn] I know Kody's convinced
that their mom is saying stuff to them.
I know the rules.
I've gone through my own divorce,
and I would never, ever, ever badmouth their mother to them, ever.
[Kody] I'm sitting here almost manic, you know,
with this broken heart and my happy facade... [chuckles softly]
going into this party,
excited about Tony and Mykelti and the babies
while my heart is breaking.
[Catherine] Well, I mean, in the end,
just Kody and Robyn and being in their space
is just gonna happen sometimes.
And for sure, Robyn's gonna be at the birth of the twins, too.
And this is just what it is.
We're just gonna be in the same space.
Just the failure of the experience that was everything.
[voice shaking] All my goals...
Now failures happen,
and I'm gonna grow up and I'm gonna put on my big-boy panties,
and I'm gonna get through this, you know that I am.
[sighing sadly] But it was, like, the dream of Camelot.
You know, it was like we had this dream
and, you know, a whisper might have blown it away,
but we strengthened, we got strong,
and then it just fell to [bleep]
and it's very sad to me.
Kody and I are officially done.
-Are you serious? -I'm not joking.
I wish I was. [sighs] But I'm not.
I'm really, really, really...
glad.
I've had other people in my life that are like,
"Okay, we're here for ya. We're supporting ya,"
and, "It's about damn time."
[upbeat music playing]
-[Ysabel] Hello, Mama. -Hello, my love.
Ysabel's been in North Carolina with Maddie almost a year.
I think it's good for her to come and...
kind of, get away from home
and, kind of, figure out who she was a little bit away from her mom.
But she's ready to go back now.
Especially that Christine lives in Salt Lake,
she's really anxious to be back.
[Madison] So where should I put this?
Just put it in there right now,
and pull up that wall back there.
"That wall." I know what that means. For sure, for sure.
Ysabel's gonna be moving to Salt Lake.
Not with me, she's made it very clear.
She does not want to stay with me
even for, like, a week.
But she wants to go to the University of Utah
and live in Salt Lake City.
So Janelle and Maddie will be bringing Maddie's car,
and then Ysabel and I will be in her car.
-Are you doing all right, honey? -Yeah.
I don't want you to ache. You should not ache.
-It's pregnancy. I ache all the time. -I know,
but you shouldn't ache from exertion.
-Oh, I don't ache from exertion. -[Janelle chuckling] Okay.
[Janelle] Maddie's expecting a baby,
and she's somewhere around four months along.
Her baby's due in February.
[Madison] Okay. Look, we're gonna... I'm gonna put this down here,
and you're gonna roll it to Grandma.
[Janelle] Here she is, doing all this heavy lifting, and I'm like,
"Just stop. We can do this."
Yeah. I really haven't seen Kody in months.
It's so funny. I don't really think about him,
except for when I'm starting to think about the property.
The bed frames need to go in so...
Well then, we can have them go straight across right here.
Christine likes to think I'm somehow not over him
because I haven't had some sort of "Official conversation,"
but we've had lots of little ones.
I don't see him,
and I don't really miss him.
[Christine] And when I first married Kody,
I thought that we would be together forever.
And then, it fell apart.
And now I still have Janelle.
I think this one qualifies as heavy.
[chuckles]
I don't know what to do with the word "Plural family."
I think we're sister wives
that are raising kids together
that were part of the plural family.
All right. Everything's loaded.
The kids don't have a great relationship with Kody.
Not all the wives have a good relationship with each other.
So, that's why I wouldn't say it's a plural family.
I would say that what Janelle and I have
is a sister-wife family.
They're moving Ysabel, so Janelle helped?
[chuckles softly]
Oh, my goodness. The tables have turned so bad.
Christine didn't want to live in the same house
because she was always having to walk on eggshells with Janelle and Meri.
And now, Janelle seems to be, kind of, um,
following Christine around, like,
"Oh. You know, you're so awesome, and your life is so great.
And I felt..."
It's just... that's what appears to me to be.
I'm not getting the big picture anymore because I'm not involved.
[knock on door]
-Meri! -Hello.
How are you?
Surprise!
So I am in Las Vegas and I am gonna go see a friend of mine, Brandi.
I have known her... almost the whole time we've been in Las Vegas.
-What are you doing? -Just hanging out.
I was here for some meetings.
Um... Onto California tomorrow.
So, I had to come visit.
Sit down. Do you want some water?
-Hi, Tim. -Hey, Meri. What's going on?
[Meri] How's it going?
-Good to see you again. -[Meri sighing] Good to see you.
-How's Arizona? -Fabulous.
Fabulous.
You know, it's always a little bit weird going back to Vegas
like I don't like to go around to the side of town that we used to live in,
because it's just sad to me.
-So... -[Brandi] Yes.
What do you have to tell me now?
-I have to tell you something now. -Oh, jeez.
I do not want to know.
Kody and I are officially done.
-[sighing] Oh, jeez. -[Meri laughs]
-Are you serious? -I'm not joking.
I wish I was. [sighs] But I'm not.
Wow.
-Does he know? -[both laughing]
-You've told Kody, right? -He does.
We actually... he basically told me.
I don't know what to say about this because...
I'm really, really, really...
glad...
because you've been done, unofficially, for a long time.
So when Brandi says that she's glad,
it's just another, "Okay."
I've had other people in my life that are, like, "Okay."
You know, when I finally made this decision, and this is what we're doing,
they're like, "Okay, we're here for ya. We're supporting ya,"
and, "It's about damn time."
He's having, like, the...
super-weird midlife crisis.
That's what it feels like to me.
He says these things to try to push me out.
I, honestly, just don't...
I'm about to call him and just... yell at him.
He's gonna be so mad at me in this interview,
and I'm, kind of, not giving a flying rat's ass.
[upbeat music playing]
[Catherine] Maddie insisted we just drive like maniacs.
We made it in three days.
So Mykelti is coming over tonight to hang out for a bit.
Is this Oma's house?
[Catherine] Basically, she's just big. She's just big.
She's pregnant with twins.
Mykelti does it all.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Axel.
It's your cousin, Avalon.
-Oh, miss you, Ms. K. -[Axel] Hi, Avalon!
Ms. Avalon, this is your cousin.
This is your cousin. This is Ms. Evie K.
-[Axel screaming] -Say hi.
Axel. Axel. Axel.
[Evie exclaiming]
[Mykelti] Last time I saw you, I was pregnant with her.
And now, here you guys both are pregnant.
So that's pretty fun, if you ask me.
[Janelle] I know that Maddie has not had any conversations with her dad.
He's not called. She's not called him
and she doesn't have any relationship with Robyn.
She's pretty much written them both off.
She doesn't really want him to have any contact
unless he can commit to like a consistent presence.
I won't talk about her.
Nope.
I don't understand why Kody's not reaching out to Madison
or some of the other kids.
I know he's in a very angry and hurt place,
but he should just be putting in the effort. Um...
But I think the kids should be doing the same thing, too.
How was your appointment today? What happened?
They're moving well. Their heartbeats are steady.
They're doing fine.
You guys... You have your date, though. Like, you have...
Yeah. I scheduled my inducement.
Are you excited?
-To get them out of me? Yes. -[Catherine laughs]
I think the current state of my family is, honestly, heartbreaking.
I mean, you look back 14 years ago
when Robyn first joined the family,
and we were all this, like, beautiful, united,
together-against-all-odds vibe.
It was really amazing.
And then, it's just the life has gone on,
and that's, kind of, started to disjoint.
It's really sad. It's honestly, just really sad.
Okay, I was telling Mykelti.
She goes, "Why are they... Why else are they here?"
'Cause moving you, wedding,
but then, there's one more reason.
Oh, we're just gonna go look at property in Montana.
[Catherine] Property, too.
Build on?
[gasping] I know that's the secret.
And what's more?
Janelle's talking about possibly moving with them.
[Janelle] Flagstaff no longer feels permanent,
and if I had another option, I would probably take it.
[indistinct conversation]
They know that I suffer from FOMO about my family.
Fear of missing out, okay?
So anything they can do that excludes me
is a punishment to me.
We're gonna do a toast.
-Let's move over here, everybody. -[Mykelti] Okay.
Come on.
My big fear is that Janelle is gonna flip and move on to the property.
So what if she builds a house
and then, later Kody and Robyn decide to go build on the property, too?
What, she needs to just stay there at that point?
That's not a good idea.
It's just sparkling cider because you guys are...
There's some pregnancy and underage-ness going on.
I worry that she's not gonna be happy
and that she's just gonna be stuck.
And I don't want her to feel stuck.
-Party aches. -You know what?
My achiness beats all of your achiness
if we're gonna talk about ache-is,
So on our anniversary this year, we went out.
You went out on your anniversary?
Well... [chuckles softly]
[Brandi] Like, how many years is that, like?
-Thirty-two. -Oh, jeez.
Yeah, it is, kind of, weird to say 32
because, like, "Yeah, I've been married for 32 years."
Like, have I been a married couple with Kody for 32 years?
No, like not even close.
But it's been 32 years that I've stayed committed.
Maybe I should've been committed
for being committed. [chuckles softly]
So, yeah. We just drove around a lot,
and we talked a lot.
And I was like, he was alluding to the fact that he never loved me,
and he felt like he had to marry me.
Stop.
I didn't understand how that it worked,
and I said to him, I said, "Kody,"
I said, "I know you loved me."
And he's like, "Well, I was affirming that I loved you."
What is wrong with him?
And this is what I can't understand.
When a single young man meets a single young woman,
why would he choose to marry her
and just affirm and force love for her
when he didn't love her?
Oh. Meri has her little accusations now.
[Meri] How cruel is that to pick me out of a crowd
and just be like, "Hmm. I pick you
to try to force myself to love for the next 32 years."
Like that makes sense.
Fine. She can say whatever she wants.
I'm not gonna comment on it.
So that's basically what he's been telling me.
You know how he's been acting,
and things that he's been saying for years,
-and we haven't had a relationship... -Yeah.
-...for a long time, and... -Yeah. Yeah.
...like ever since, we moved to Flagstaff.
I mean, when we moved there, he was like,
"Oh. This will be a great time for a new beginning."
It seemed he seemed very positive about it.
And it just, kind of, went downhill.
I, honestly, feel sad for him
if that's what he's having to tell himself
to justify...
that he and I started this family.
Like, why?
Because Robyn was only ten at the time?
Twelve?
He's having, like... a super-weird midlife crisis.
It's feels like to me.
[chuckling] Okay. Let's be honest.
[Meri laughing]
He's always been...
He's always been Kody, but at least he was kinder...
-Yeah. -...to you.
And I have not seen him... try...
-[Meri] No. -...for years.
This is, honestly, how I felt for quite a long time
is that he says these things to try to push me out.
Because if he can push me out, and I leave,
he's not the bad guy because he didn't walk away.
Does Robyn know?
-Yeah. Yeah... -I was gonna say she's probably the one
that's the most upset.
You're trying to comfort Robyn.
You're both like,
-"Robyn, it's okay. It's okay." -[Meri laughing]
Yeah. It feels like everything is just, sort of, falling apart,
and I'm trying so hard to remain hopeful.
It feels like I'm in an alternate reality or something.
Like, I just don't know how to wrap my brain around what's happened.
I wish Robyn would just let Meri go, honestly.
Kody, let Meri go a long time ago.
I wish Robyn would let her go
so she could just live her own life.
I, honestly, just...
I'm about to call him and just... yell at him.
It wouldn't do any good.
It wouldn't, but it would make me feel better.
He's gonna be so mad at me in this interview.
I'm, kind of, not giving a flying rat's ass.
He just keeps saying things like,
"Well, I don't think polygamy is fair to women."
That's not the Kody I know.
I think there's a lot of people that would say,
"This is not the Kody I know."
I am upset with how I was treated.
I mean, I feel like you're letting him off a little too easy.
[dramatic music playing]
-So what's next? What's... I mean. -[sighs wearily]
I'm still trying to figure that out.
At this point,
-I know that I am not gonna renew my lease at my house. -Yeah.
I'm gonna go to the B&B.
I don't know. I mean, I'm sad for you,
but at the same time, I'm relieved for you
because you have not...
had what you need...
in that relationship for years.
It's really just heartbreaking to me
because, like, 32 years ago,
-I didn't sign up for... -Right.
...just a little bit.
I don't know. It's weird.
He he just keeps saying things like,
"Well, I don't think polygamy is fair to women."
That's not the Kody I know.
I think there's a lot of people that would say,
"This is not the Kody I know."
I don't know that it's... that he he cares about the fact
that polygamy isn't fair to women.
Maybe he's just not being fair to women.
[groans softly] I mean, it's just like... I don't know.
Meri says maybe I was unfair.
Well, it's just as unfair to me
'cause I didn't have a choice to get out,
and they all do.
Okay. We had the legal divorce,
but I still was married.
If I didn't consider myself married,
-then all the other marriages were... -Right.
...null and void.
And then what have we been doing all these years?
We have that spiritual marriage
that we have always considered...
Mmm-hmm.
...a thing. You know what I mean?
I am upset with how I was treated.
I am upset with the last 10 or 12 years,
and his lack of communication and how he really felt and what he really wanted
or what he really didn't want,
and the story that he's been telling...
for all these years.
[Kody] My name is Kody Brown.
I'm a polygamist,
but we're not the polygamists you think you know.
I have three awesome wives,
Meri, Janelle and Christine
and I have 12 wonderful children.
Love should be multiplied, not divided.
I'm upset about that because that's not fair to me,
to anybody in the family,
to anybody watching our story.
What about the land?
I will get my spot of land.
[Christine] So I signed my parts of the land over to the family.
I was just done.
I hope that Janelle and Meri get a fair share of it.
I suspect they won't
just because I know Kody and how he works.
I don't think they're gonna get their fair share.
Just telling you, I just don't.
I don't like to talk about it. It makes me so frustrated.
It's gonna be one big house for the three of them.
Janelle's not gonna stay. There's no way.
I don't know what's going on with Janelle.
I mean, I guess there's room for a couple more now
-if he... -[both laughing]
I don't know. I mean, maybe.
-[Meri] So... -That land you've gotten divided already.
-[laughs] -[laughing] It's not divided.
Wonder if Robyn will leave him.
[laughs]
This is not what she wanted.
-No. -No.
I don't believe that Robyn has a bad heart.
And there's a lot of people, within the family and otherwise,
that I think... think that she does.
You know, it's it's been hard
because, like, she and I were close at the very beginning,
and I know she's always had my back
and has been supportive.
But I guess it just is what it is now
and she and Kody are gonna have to figure out a way,
you know, to live together and live with that, honestly.
I mean, I feel like you're letting him off a little too easy.
[both chuckle]
I'd be angry.
I have, definitely, had my moments of anger.
[sighs] Don't let him suppress you anymore.
I'm not gonna be a jerk.
-No. -I'm not gonna say mean things about him
even though sometimes I might feel them.
Well, I'm angry.
-[chuckles] -Thank you.
-I hope, I don't get upset. -Thank you.
I'm very angry.
This is the big one for me right now.
[chuckles softly]
All those years that we weren't together,
-but technically we were married... -Mmm-hmm.
I still have, like, all my memories,
-my 30 years of memories and... -Mmm-hmm.
...pictures and things on the wall, and...
wedding gifts for my grandma
and, you know, stuff like that.
So what do I do with all those ornaments
that my grandma gave me every year for Christmas,
-with our pictures, you know? -[sighs]
-What do I do with all that stuff? -Yeah.
[Meri] To me, I feel like I need to grieve this a little bit more.
If I were to just put a Christmas card out this year with just me,
it would almost be flaunting and saying,
"Yeah, I'm so excited about this.
I'm so happy about this and this is what I've done with my life,"
and "Yay!"
To me, the breakup of such a long marriage
and a family is not something to celebrate.
I have no idea where Meri and Kody's relationship stands.
I... [sighs]
I love being single. I love it.
I love my life now than I've ever loved my life before.
And I wish the same for Meri. I wish the same for Janelle.
I want them to love their life.
-I don't like to see you hurt. -Yeah.
So I'm ready to burn some pictures.
[both laughing]
-I'm not. -Whatever we need to do, we will.
I'm not. [chuckles]
I just don't think you ever knew what...
how good it could be.
Tim would never, ever say the things to me
that Kody said to you.
For 32 years,
you've put up with something that you did not deserve.
He didn't deserve you,
and you...
you're free.
I wonder if one day he's gonna wake up and be like,
"What did I do?"
Like, "I just threw it all away."
[Meri] You know, I know who I am.
I'm happy with who I am.
I'm confident in who I am.
And I'm going to move forward with this great life.
And if he's happy with this...
good, I'm glad he's happy with it.
But I kind of I suspect that Brandi's not wrong,
that he's gonna wake up one day and be like,
"Wow. What the hell did I just do?"
He's gonna be accountable for that
whether he likes it or not.
[Christine] This season on Sister Wives...
-Hi, baby. -Hello.
We've already planned our second date.
I'm just telling you that straight up.
Kody and I are...have officially said it's not working.
Really?
This was not the way it was supposed to go.
What did I do wrong?
[Christine] The property needs to be paid off.
He's not talking to me about it, so...
I think I'm gonna have to lawyer up.
Such a teenage drama.
You remember that I have that house in Utah?
It's gonna be healthy for Meri to live away.
I feel like the idiot that got left behind.
I'm not your wife anymore.
It's not divorce that sucks, it's marrying the wrong person.
What sucks is marrying the wrong person
and not having the decency to tell her
until 32 years later.
Civil war, total civil war.
-I would like you to meet David. -Ta-da.
[Meri] The guy that Christine is dating is gonna be
at this party. -I think we're meeting
Christine's new boyfriend.
[sighs] Oh, I don't know, I need to find a man.
I'm not gonna take sides.
I'm not gonna be in the ex-wives club.
I'm not in the Kody and Robyn club.
I'm having a hard time feeling like...[sighs]
losing respect for you.
Robyn, I can't even get it straight with you right now.
I keep thinking that you and I could make this work.
-What about you and me? -We have had
so many conversations where I've said, "It's done.
We're done. We're not compatible."
I didn't know we were having a fight here.
I wish I wouldn't have ever married her.
Listen, it's confusing from day one.
That's bull[bleep].
That is so not fair to me.
I would have rather you have told me, Kody, years ago.
Blame yourself if I don't love you, okay?
