[Kody] Previously on "Sister Wives."
Well, I wanted to fly out here and meet with you, um.
Basically, I just wanted to come and say, um,
that I apologize.
I said, "I didn't love you." That wasn't true.
[Janelle] We always had a really good relationship as far as,
like, being able to talk to each other.
I think we still do care for each other.
I mean, like, how can you not?
I spent so many years married to him.
What's your love language?
My love language is physical touch.
He's handsome, so there's that.
Yeah, when I fill out my survey, I'm definitely gonna
put Meri down, and I hope to see her again.
[tense music playing]
Do you think Kody wants to meet up to talk crap on you?
No, he said that he wants to extend an olive branch.
I just don't trust that. I just don't trust him.
Yeah, I've got two more wives to visit with.
I -- I get a little bit nervous thinking that it could go
really, really wrong.
[theme music playing]
[rock music playing]
[Kody panting]
I just visited with Janelle in North Carolina, and
I've been back for a little bit, and I'm having a workout today.
I got to keep myself young.
I have a wife 10 years younger than me,
almost 11 years younger than me.
I don't wanna be the old man in the family.
I'm really trying to focus on aging gracefully,
strength training, simply for the purpose of just staying
well and healthy.
[Robyn] Knock, knock.
Hi, hon.
[Kody] Hi.
[Robyn] It's raining finally.
[exhales]
[grunts]
-[Kody] Check this out. -What?
OK. Here, pick this up.
Tell me if it's heavy.
Oh, my gosh. Seriously, Kody?
I just did four pull-ups with that on my back.
No, you didn't. Oh, my gosh.
I couldn't do it again, sorry.
I can't impress you with that, but I'm a little winded.
Boy, it's been a workout, so I'm tired.
But I wanna see with a woman, a beautiful woman watching me,
how many pu -- -I just...ooh!
[Kody breathing heavily]
Dang!
[Kody breathing heavily]
Wow.
Kody always was, like, obsessed about working out.
Always obsessed. It was an obsession, I thought.
I don't remember him working out in our early years
of marriage as much as he does now.
He's in pretty good shape. He works hard.
All right, all right, all right.
All right. You're good.
I'm impressed.
I feel like Kody working out is kind of icing on the cake.
I appreciate that he takes care of himself.
But really what is the core of it is who he is as a person.
Something that really always makes me
just go, "rawr" with Kody is when he's a good dad.
I'm looking buff?
-Yeah. -I'm a little sweaty.
You don't wanna touch me, do you?
I'll kiss your lips. [laughs]
[smooch]
[exhales] Wow, yeah.
-[Robyn] Hi. -Hi.
-How's it going? -Oh, it's going good.
I just thought maybe we'd have a little private moment.
You could tell me kind of how things went.
Oh... [exhales]
It was good.
I mean...
-Should I sit down? -...it's a fast trip.
-I would have you sit down. -Or should we stand up?
Yeah.
He's back from North Carolina from talking to Janelle.
I wanna check in with him and kind of talk to him and see
how he feels about it.
-You feeling OK? -It was a good trip.
And -- and --
you know, you just don't know what to expect when you're...
meeting with an ex. I just was like, well,
"I just want to get real here with you
and just say, I'm sorry, just apologize."
Oh, you were saying this? Yeah.
[Kody] Yeah, to her.
I thought she was generous with how easy...
[Robyn] Mm-hmm.
I mean, there's a lot under the bridge, you know?
So Janelle was easygoing with you?
I thought she was just kind about it.
-Really? -[Kody] And I even thanked her
for being kind about it... -Yeah.
...because this is, it's a journey thing.
It's -- It's a --
it's about just getting things right.
I mean... [clears throat]
But I had to get my mind set in a funny place.
Like, literally, I had to just get prayerful
and say, "Hey, God," you know,
"I gotta forgive so that I can apologize.
Help me out here."
After doing this with Janelle,
do you, how are you, like,
are you feeling like what your choice
in deciding to do this was the right thing to do?
To be fair to Janelle,
I thought she made it easy enough.
-[Robyn] Yeah. -That I --
Well, not -- not about Janelle.
-[Kody] No, I'm moving forward. -For you.
Like, does this afterwards, no matter what anybody says
or anybody's reaction, I mean,
this is really about whether or not
you feel like God is witnessing to you
was the right thing to do?
That, yes. I'm apologizing.
-[Robyn] Yeah. -And --
And it just feels so much better.
Good.
[Robyn] Who Kody has been the last few years is really
not who Kody is.
Kody without the anger
is a really good guy.
To say that it went as good as it could be with Janelle,
I think is a little bit understatement.
There was a lot of grace there.
I'm gonna be fair.
I think the easiest of the chores was
going to see Janelle and apologize to her.
So when I go see Christine, I don't expect it to be
easy, necessarily.
Who knows?
With Christine, it could be -- it could go even smoother.
It could go, um,
not as smooth. I don't -- I don't know.
She could be extremely angry and really push back, or...
another extreme, she could just not take it serious at all.
And for me, this is very serious.
A couple words I wanna use are sober and pious.
It's not for me to go joking around about this.
And so I'm just hoping of the same kind of tenderness
and grace that I've experienced with it with Janelle,
but I am prepared for a very different experience.
[Shawnee] We might could scoot the griddles down more.
[Meri] Yeah.
-Where they're not right in the sunshine. -Yeah.
Shawnee and I are working on getting everything prepped
today for the breakfast that we're having here tomorrow.
We're doing a fundraiser for Jenn and her family.
Jenn's husband, Shawn, has been battling cancer for two years.
Every bit of what we make is gonna be going directly
to Jenn and her hospital bills.
For nearly 14 years, Jenn has been the person who has been,
like, my rock.
She is there to do and support and just be there with me
and cry with me.
She just is that person,
and she's just always been there for me.
[melancholic music playing]
She just deserves to have the support.
[Jenn] It is probably one of my least favorite things
when -- [sighs]
when people do things like this for me.
I love doing things like this for others,
but I keep going back to,
"But what about -- what about them?"
What about -- you know? And so I struggle with that.
I'll be over there around seven, seven fifteen.
We'll do the bike ride.
We'll come back here. We'll make pancakes.
What about pre-mixing eggs?
Oh, no, we're not doing scrambled eggs, right?
We're doing just fried eggs.
-I think fried eggs would be easier. -[Shawnee] Yeah.
-Then we don't have to... -Then we don't have the mess
of mixing them and everything. -[both] Yeah.
Shawnee is the best support system.
OK, Jenn might actually be mad.
Amber might actually be mad.
Shawnee is one of my three best support systems.
I mean, like, I don't know.
If four women were ever created to be together and not have
a matching husband, you know? Like, it is us, I swear.
[quirky music playing]
So when I look at the four of us
and how well we work together,
it is completely different than, like,
me and my sister wives were.
Could've been really cool if...
our sister wife relationship could've been like this.
I will never be sister wives with these ladies because,
well, let's see, two of them are married already
to different men.
One of them is dating somebody.
Oh, also, I have no interest in being a polygamist again.
So yeah, the sister wife dynamic is over for me.
So yeah, that's never gonna happen.
Jenn -- Jenn and Amber and Ron.
Ron's coming.
Yes, we have been out on dates.
Yes.
I'm really not one to put labels on things,
because, like, "What do you call a date?"
What does it mean when it's a date
versus when it's a,
"Let's spend some time together?"
You know what I mean? So it's like,
Why put a label on it?
The whole point is we're just getting to know each other.
I'm really excited, though, that Ron's gonna come down
for this fundraiser.
Um, I...
this is the first time that he's come down to my part
of the world, and it's just gonna be kind of cool
to share it with him and just kind of let him in
a little bit to my world, you know, and meet my friends
and just kind of hang out in my space.
So I'm really excited about it.
I just hope we have a lot of fun, and it goes really well.
My friends Angela and Kristina are in town.
First time they've come to North Carolina to see me.
I love this place. Like, I love it.
They have cute little, like, their coffees are good.
They have good food.
I just recently had a -- a sit down with Kody.
My head still is kind of like, "What the heck happened?"
'Cause it was so...
It was intense.
Since I saw you guys last,
Kody came and -- I think I told you
-Kody was gonna come. -[Angela] Mm-hmm.
-He came to North Carolina, right? -[Janelle] Yeah.
But you just had a big question mark in your head.
But I'm like, "OK, I'll go see what he has to say,"
'cause I'm like, "All right." -[Angela] Mm-hmm.
I agreed to it,
'cause I didn't wanna -- -[Kristina] What did you wear?
Just regular clothes, I mean --
Bet she looked like a queen.
I'm sure she did. What did he wear?
-A visor? -[all laugh]
-A visor? -[laughing]
[Janelle] I think he had a suit jacket on, like --
Oh, so he was like a little dressed up, more elevated.
-[Janelle] Yeah. -Oh, interesting.
-[Angela] Man bun, no man bun. -No.
What did -- like, what was your energy going into it?
Were you nervous?
-[Janelle] No. -Were you excited?
Were you annoyed?
I was just like, I was kind of like, I just wanna,
I was really intending to sit down,
listen to him for ten minutes, and leave.
I just really, I needed him to say his thing,
and I was gonna leave. -[Kristina] Right.
And Robyn didn't come with him, right?
No -- I mean, he might, she might have been somewhere.
He wanted to, like, sit down with the three of you,
or he just wanted to talk to you by yourself.?
No, because she speaks Kody, you know?
[laughs]
In case I needed translating.
[laughing]
When Kody said he wanted to come for whatever, to see me,
I said, "That's fine, but you can't bring Robyn."
Don't want -- I have no interest in having her here.
I just don't think she really has to be involved in anything
Kody has to say to me.
And if he has something to say to me that involves her,
I really don't think I need to hear it.
I just don't.
I mean...
And we got there.
And, um...
it's like I actually...
left after, like, an hour and a half,
and it took me, like, a while to decompress the whole thing,
'cause it was so intense. Like, it was...
And it wasn't intense bad. It was just intense.
Did it sound disingenuous?
-No, it sounded genuine. -OK.
[Angela] Were you just, like, shocked at all the things
that were coming out of his mouth,
or were you taking a, like... -Um...
No, I knew that it was gonna most likely be some
sort of an apology. -[Angela] Oh, good.
I didn't know why he was coming.
He's filled with guilt.
I mean, he went from this charming guy to...
So he was, like, his old self then.
[Janelle] Yeah, like, I don't...
It was like a different version.
Yeah, this is who, like, he was.
Not this intense, but he was very kind like that.
That's how he used to be.
There was a part of me that really needed
to hear some of it, I realized.
And I told him, I said,
"It's been good to hear some of these things."
Is there any part of you that would ever go back to Kody?
[tense music playing]
I don't have a lot of trust with Kody
that this conversation's gonna go well.
It's weird, 'cause we haven't really had a conversation
since I left. Not really.
It's in my hands to make sure nothing... [stammers]
She doesn't get harmed by it.
Here we are at Gear Up Bike and Sports.
This is Jenn and Shawn's shop.
We're all just getting ready for the bike ride.
[attendee] You're gonna be getting jumped.
-[Meri] Hi. -Hi.
-How are you? -Good.
Look at you, being all festive.
Thanks -- yeah.
[attendee] I'll do a regular one.
He's here. He's showed up.
And I'm really excited. It'll be fun.
It'll be fun to, um...
Yeah, it'll just be fun to have him meet all my friends,
and for my friends to meet him.
Yellow is good. We love yellow.
Good. Did you sleep good?
Yeah, good, good.
I had, like, four hours.
[Ron] Really?
-I'll just caffeine it up today. -[laughing]
A lot.
Yeah.
I know, I was trying to decide if I wanted to bring a jacket.
It was kind of chilly this morning.
Oh, this is Shawnee. This is Ron.
Hi, Ron. Nice to meet you.
Hey, hi, nice to meet you.
Do you have a helmet? You have a helmet.
-Did you bring a helmet? -I did, yeah.
Are you gonna -- You don't have to wear it.
It's completely up to you.
-You don't like to wear it? -[Ron] Um...
You like moving on the edge.
[Ron] I do.
-And break your elbows. -[Ron] Yeah.
[Meri] That's funny.
I mean, we're just getting to know each other.
It's just comfortable.
Thank you, thank you all for coming and doing this bike ride
to help support Jenn
and her family.
Please, please, please be very careful on the road.
That's what I care about most in this moment.
I've really enjoyed getting to know Ron over the past
few months, and just kind of like
how he thinks and his dynamic and, you know, like who he is
as a person. And it's just been really cool.
I've really enjoyed it.
[Ron speaking indistinctly]
I'm just gonna do it.
[Meri] Whoo!
I'm a rock star, I'm a rock star!
Oh, my gosh.
I'm really glad that Ron took the time out
of his schedule and his weekend to come down here.
[Meri] To the right, to the right.
You know, it just makes me feel like I matter to him.
These e-bikes are too big to pop a wheelie, I think.
Too heavy. It's like...
It's gonna be kind of interesting to watch him
and see how he is in my world.
If he's comfortable or if he's...
not comfortable or, you know, I don't know.
It's just going to be...
I'm going to be very observant today.
Look, I mean, I think at some point I thought,
"What if he, like, what if we worked this out?"
[Kody] I feel like we've needed an olive branch,
the entire family.
And Janelle, you get the high honor of being the person
I felt the safest with to start offering that olive branch.
Oh, we had a good -- we had a great, like,
I -- I'm grateful for what we had.
-[Kody] Yeah. -I really am.
It's just one of those thoughts, you know,
you have when you sit down with an ex, you're like...
[Kristina] He wasn't trying to get you back, was he?
Oh, no, I don't think so.
There's like, he wasn't trying to leave the door open
for that? -No, I don't think so.
'Cause he really, I mean, he really, you know,
he says all the time how much
he loves Robyn and she's his true love or whatever.
And I'm like, "That's great. You guys can have each other."
But you're, I mean, cordial and you guys have so many...
shared family members and everything's going to be
hard to avoid. -I'm sure I'll see him.
-[Angela] That, you know. -[Kristina] Right.
You know what I mean? I'm sure.
Didn't even ask how the kids were doing?
It seems like an angle to get to the kids.
-He wants to soften you. -[Janelle] I don't know.
I do think he's had some sort of,
I said -- when I said to him,
"Have you gone to a 12-step program?"
I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden, like,
he was having some sort of remorse,
you know what I mean? -Right his wrongs.
But it just sort of felt like that.
Like, he was really trying to kind of right some
of the things, like, that he'd done wrong.
I'm glad that he apologized for some of the stuff he's said
in the past. -Yeah, I mean...
There's a lot more, though, that needs to be said.
You know, I had wanted to bring up the kids with him
when we met.
I think they really feel like
their dad didn't treat their mothers fair.
Like, there's just a lot of things, right?
There's a lot of things over the years.
So now that that's done with, are we going to get
spiritually divorced? -Yep, it's in the works.
So what do you have to do?
I'm going to go meet with him in person, and yeah.
-OK -- how long does it take? -And you talk?
It won't be very fast. I mean, it won't be very long.
This feels like the timing is right.
Now the property is done.
We've set our piece,
and now it feels like it's time to really
cut that and move on.
Well, that's exciting.
-[Janelle] Yeah. -Is there, like, a...
-[Janelle] It won't be -- -...divorce party?
We should have our independence party, or...
[Janelle] Oh, yes, I think there should be.
[Kristina] "Bye Forever Kody Brown party, or..."
I think it's gonna be.
Yeah, you don't want to spiritually have to be
up there forever with him.
We'll have to go somewhere to celebrate.
[Angela] What can we call it?
We can call it speed dating, and we can just trick her
and be like, "Surprise! You get two minutes
to talk to every single one of these guys."
[Janelle] Um, it's divorce.
Like, it's basically our version of a divorce, right?
I guess, yeah.
-[Janelle] Yeah. -Good for you.
I mean, the financial ties are dissolved.
Kody and I meeting sort of put a few of the little pieces that
were missing out of the chapter of the book that's closed.
But I don't really care what Kody thinks about me seeking
a spiritual release. I don't care.
I don't really know if I'll feel any different
once the spiritual release is done.
But intellectually, I'll know that there's a difference.
It'd be a good idea for me to get to know David,
'cause I've seen him make a lot of comments about me,
not even knowing me.
So I'm like, "Well, David, you really don't know me."
Uh, thanks for meeting with me.
Suck those beers down, because I got some fun stuff
to share with you. -[Christine] Oh, my God.
-And it's all good. -[Christine] Now I'm nervous.
No, no, no. Don't be nervous.
I promise.
[Christine] David and I are in Vegas.
Kody reached out to me and wanted to chat,
have a little -- what did he call it?
Extend an olive branch.
Meeting up with Kody has me doubting myself and my ability
to be strong, and I don't like that either.
I'm very frustrated with myself, for even thinking
that I can do this conversation.
It's weird, 'cause we haven't really had a conversation
since I left. Not really.
-Not really? -I don't think so.
I just don't know what's going to happen.
I told Christine there's two ways to go --
it can go really good, or it can go really bad.
I'm curious why.
So we're hoping that it'll go good.
It'll be OK.
And that's where our level's at,
our expectation, OK. -OK, OK.
If it goes better than that, great.
Great --and even if it goes worse than that, it's still OK,
'cause we'll just pick up the pieces again
and try this again. -[David] Yep.
-So then, deal. -OK.
-[David] I love you. -[Christine] I love you.
-I got your back. -I know.
I wouldn't do this without you.
It's in my hands to make sure nothing... [stammers]
She doesn't get harmed by it.
I don't have a lot of trust with Kody
that this conversation's gonna to go well.
I'm sitting here in Las Vegas.
I've -- I asked Christine to meet me.
I'm here basically in the simplest of terms
to apologize to Christine.
I asked David to come along.
It'd be a good idea for me to get to know David,
'cause I've seen him make a lot of comments about me,
not even knowing me.
So I'm like, "Well, David, you really don't know me."
It could go any direction.
But there's been a lot of hurt in the family,
and I'm guilty of so much of it.
And the reason I'm afraid is because others are guilty too,
but that's not why I'm here to focus on that.
I'm like, "I wanna wash that away."
Las Vegas has always been, will probably always be
very nostalgic for me.
I mean, our family thrived here.
Robyn is, I think she's a little nervous about
the experience that I can have.
She's going to worry about me and I can't stop her
from worrying about me.
And it never occurred to me to go because it's always been
like Kody has had his individual relationships
with each wife, even though they're now ex-wives.
It's -- it's -- I don't know. Like, it's still...
sort of the same. Not really though.
I don't know -- it's so weird.
[chuckles] I don't know.
-[Robyn] Hey. -Hi!
-How are you? -Good.
[giggles] I'm OK.
-How are you? -[Kody] Good.
I'm -- I'm relaxing in a cabana, pool-side.
-Ooh. -[Kody laughs]
We're way past due for a time of healing.
So here we go.
Yeah, but you've got to realize that everybody
has their journey.
This is a shared responsibility between everyone.
I would just be patient with it and try not to react.
Thank you. I want you to know that that...
[Robyn] I don't -- I don't want you to feel pressure.
-I just, you know. -It's just, I'm here to do it.
This is the reason I'm here. I'm here to do it.
[Kody] David isn't the wild card in this.
Christine is more of a wild card,
depending on her mood.
Is she going to be really, really light?
Is she going to be very uncomfortable
so she gets silly?
Or is she going to get really serious with me?
I don't know.
[Christine] I don't like hard conversations.
I've never liked hard conversations.
And hard conversations with David are great.
They're fine.
But hard conversations with Kody weren't fine.
They weren't. They were terrible.
Christine's still, she's nervous about the whole deal.
Um, she's -- trying to help her get through it,
'cause this is a big deal.
I don't know what to believe with Kody anymore.
I don't know what to trust.
I don't trust him at all, to be honest.
So he says he just wants to -- I don't even know.
I don't know. I don't know what's happening.
I don't know. I know that he's reached out.
He wants to talk.
I just have to keep reminding myself of...
he was a great guy when I married him.
Kody was the kid's hero.
He was their hero. He would come home,
and the kids would all gather around him,
and he'd play with them.
-[Christine] Keep going. -[Kody] Catch them, catch them.
[kids laughing]
[Christine] It was just cute, but that -- he did change.
Like, yeah, everything changed.
Kody's an adult. I'm an adult.
We should be able to be around each other.
-Hello, love. -[David] Hello.
-Wow, you look really pretty. -Thank you.
-And sexy. -Oh, well, thank you.
-Yes. -Thanks, babe.
-You ready to leave? -Yes, you look lovely.
-I love that. -Lovely.
-You look wonderful. -Thank you for this.
I don't think I can hope for a good outcome,
but just being open is what I'm aiming for.
Listen, next time you guys create a whole plan
around the plan, you got to put it in the group chat
so the whole group chat knows the plan.
Ron was funny.
He kind of was like backing out of the whole conversation.
He's like, "I don't know what's happening here."
[laughs]
[Meri] This is the first time that Ron's been down here
to Parowan and meeting all my friends.
Oh, eggs are gonna need to be cooked, too, at some point.
How is he going to act?
I'm just gonna let him do his thing and observe
and just watch.
I hope he can handle it.
Love Parowan. Yeah, I haven't spent
a lot of time here.
I saw last night the "P" all lit up on the hill,
and that was kind of fun to see, but it looks like a great town.
I'm really, really happy that she invited me.
Ron just is kind of, like, pitching in and doing
whatever he needs to do when he needs to do it,
and I just appreciate that.
It's a good sign of a good person to just, like,
pitch in like that.
We'll find out if he's a good cook.
[indistinct chattering]
[Ron] Oh, good, you did scramble.
I'm like, "Do I need to keep the yolks whole? No."
I mean, I'm assuming we're doing scrambled eggs.
Yeah, I like that. That's what I'd do, yeah.
I think it's just because there's so many.
-Hi. -You're cooking? -- hi.
-Oh, yeah. -Sorry -- thanks.
We have this all under control.
[Meri] What -- what happened?
[Amber] We had the tag-team in a little bit.
What happened?
They're not burnt, they're just taking a little while.
Oh, those look good. Look at that.
I guess Ron and Amber were working on the eggs,
and he was cracking them, and there was shells.
It was -- it was not
it was not a gentle egg crack.
-[Ron] Can't fix burning these. -[laughing]
[Meri] They're not fried either.
We're working on it, it's...
-That looks... -She's making scrambled.
I thought we were doing scrambled.
Oh, you didn't get the message that we're doing fried?
-[Amber] Where was that message? -[Ron] Yeah... [mumbles]
I think it's cute. Thank you.
-It's something, Meri. -I thank you.
I thank you a lot.
[Amber] We'll do fried next time.
[Meri] I think they're good. I think they're good.
[Amber] Like this.
[Shawnee] Amber, you want me to crack eggs back on there?
Well, I didn't get the memo, Shawnee,
that we're doing fried eggs, and not scrambled the eggs.
So I just did scramble eggs.
-Who's in charge of her? -You are!
[laughing] I'm not.
Listen, next time you guys create a whole plan
around the plan, you've got to put it
in the group chat so the whole group chat
knows the plan.
Is she even in a group chat with us?
-[gasps] -[Shawnee] I don't even know.
I'm going to start my own group chat.
We have our own private group chat.
[laughing]
Ron was funny.
He kind of was like backing out of the whole conversation.
He's like, "I don't know what's happening here."
Amber had no idea that Shawnee and I thought,
"Oh, well, it'll be easier to just do fried eggs
rather than scrambled eggs."
Might want to keep me in the loop.
We're not getting fried eggs next time either.
Yeah, Ron was like, "This is a girl thing.
"This is a you thing.
"I think I'm going to take my leave right now.
"Not getting involved in this whole
scrambled egg fiasco."
With Christine and David, I needed a private setting.
There's a restaurant with a private room at this hotel.
It's great. Here's the thing.
I'm projecting an expectation that this will be...
kind.
I mean, like, friendly.
Like, this will be, I hope, a friendly exchange.
-[David] I don't count. -[Christine laughing] Thank you.
-I don't count. -[normally] This is nice.
-Very nice. -This is very nice.
-Very large room. -It is a very large room.
Thank you, love.
It is a very large room. Who else is coming?
Don't. Is anybody else coming?
I don't know. You tell me.
No, you tell me.
What do you know that I don't know?
I don't know. Surprise.
Oh, my God!
-[host] How are you? -Good, thanks.
Um, I'm supposed to meet a couple other people.
My name is Kody Brown.
-[host] Yeah, right this way. -All right, thank you.
If there's a surprise, there's going to be...
-We got a lot of people, one two... -I know.
It looks like a family meal. Babe, we need this table.
I think the last time we talked about
our relationship, may very well have been when she told me
we're done -- she's done and she wants to move.
You're like, "I'm divorced. I'm leaving.
"I'm done with you.
You're out of my house."
You never tried to have
a really good relationship with these other people.
And that's the reason I'm pissed off.
I mean, I didn't react really positively to any of that.
I am walking into an environment where trust has been killed.
I mean, we don't have trust.
But I am walking into an -- an environment
where I have said, "I am offering an olive branch."
So with the olive branch, I'm gonna extend the hand
of fellowship, and it might go to a hug.
Thanks, Lexi. Hey.
-[Christine] Hey -- hi. -[Kody laughs]
That's a really big table.
Oh, it's too big of a table.
-So how's it going? -I know.
I was telling David that we needed to have one of those
when the kids were younger. -[Kody] How are you, David?
[David] Not too bad. How are you, sir?
[Kody] I'm good.
Yeah, I asked for David to be present with Christine because
they're married and I wanna respect their marriage.
I'm just hoping he will not interrupt
my effort to apologize.
Thanks for meeting with me.
Suck those beers down because I got some fun stuff
to share with you. -[Christine] Oh, my God.
-And it's all good. -[Christine] Now I'm nervous.
[Kody] No, no, no. Don't be nervous, I promise.
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
Jenn is basically, she means the world to me.
She's my best friend of, what, 13 years now?
I am so happy that so many people in the town
showed up for this.
I love the sense of community here that you get in a small
town that you don't get in a big city.
OK, I got it.
[Meri] Shawn came -- Jenn told him, "You have to come.
"You're not coming to the bike ride,
but you have to come to this."
This big of a healing journey,
you know, to make sure that he heals so he can
be around for his family, it has definitely taken
an emotional toll on both of them,
at -- at times, you know.
But they're both, like,
getting through it.
Meri is like -- like a sister to me.
People don't understand.
I try to let her be and try to stay out of as much as I can.
And then I'll help her and I'll do things for her.
But I see love like you won't believe.
I see so much of a caring person.
And people don't realize that and understand that.
But she means a lot to me, like the world.
I know what she means to my wife.
They're like that team, you know, that strong bond.
And so I just, I adore her to death.
Hold on. Ready?
-Catch. -You'll guys will -- [laughs]
-It's fine -- it'll be fine. -Good job.
[Jenn] It's just, it's a great day.
I didn't...
I didn't expect this, and I'm just grateful.
We conquered. We did it all, Audrey.
[indistinct chattering]
I'm really lucky to have such an amazing best friend.
She's always there for me, and I'm so lucky for that.
-Let me see that -- -Requested a picture with me
and Shawnee first. -[Meri] Of course they did.
-Now we can take the picture? -[Amber] We don't know...
[Meri's friends chattering and laughing]
[Ron] OK.
Our yellows and our pink shirts.
-Meri? OK. [Meri] It's very, very spring.
[Ron] All right, one, two, three.
OK. Got it.
-[all] Yay! -[Jenn] Thank you, guys!
[Meri] I'm glad that Ron came.
Yeah, I'm glad Ron came.
Like, I think it's cute that he's just like,
"Oh, what can I do to help?" And he's just helping.
[Jenn] I think that Ron is a really nice guy.
And as soon as Meri had mentioned to him
that we were doing this, he was like, "I'm down, I'll be there."
And I just, I love that.
I thought he was a really nice guy when I first met him
at speed dating. And I thought, you know what?
They would get along really well.
And they tend to. So it worked out really well.
You know, it's different dating in your 50s.
But you just, you know, I've been on a lot of dates
the last couple years, but I love it when you meet
someone who's genuine and very nice
and easy to, you know, easy talk to.
And, you know, with Meri, like, just her inviting me down here
made me feel great.
And she's been, you know, she's been great.
"How you doing?" You know, and she let me help.
I just said, "Let me help. Give me something to do."
And so that was really fun. But I do appreciate, um...
I can tell Meri's just really genuine.
Just a great, great person.
It was super fun. It was a really good day.
And Ron came, and that was super fun, too.
I loved being able to, you know, just see how he interacts
with kind of in my world, you know,
like with my friends.
It's like, and then also, do my friends like him?
And does he, you know what I mean?
And I don't know. He fits.
[tense music playing]
[Kody] She seems amiable, and he seems amiable.
My best guess is that Christine's gotten over it
and moving on very happily,
or, and or, David has said, "Hey, baby, you know,
"you ought to talk to the ex of yours
and maybe get some healing."
We've lost trust, but we're trying to establish...
friendly, and we do that with an olive branch.
Christine's not a confrontational person usually.
She can get pushed.
She usually is not confrontational.
So she's probably wants...
you know, my reaction seeing her
is that she wants something amiable.
Why'd you want to meet together?
I wanted to apologize.
With all my heart.
Uh...
For how we broke up, for how it all went down.
I want to apologize for being angry about it.
I want to apologize for...
uh, [exhales], the struggles.
That's not necessary what I -- OK, let's go.
Bam, bam, bam. Let's just do it then.
I'm all for this. I'm actually all for
a conversation that goes, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Just the hard times.
I also want to just acknowledge the good times.
I want you to be able to heal.
-[Christine] I -- -And healing will probably...
can maybe happen.
I can't tell you how it's gonna happen or what.
But I just feel like if I apologize,
you can get in that space where you feel like you're healing.
Also, understand this -- it's in the past.
-It's in the past, and it's OK. -[Kody Yeah.
But an apology doesn't hurt.
Apologies are nice, but I'm saying it's OK.
If I wouldn't have
messed it up, then you wouldn't have what you have.
Later, you might wanna punch me.
Right now, you probably still really appreciate it.
The thing is, like when I talk to Christine about you,
I see it from a guy's point of view.
-I really do. -Hmm.
[David] I get where you're coming from in a lot of ways.
I appreciate the, sort of, the vote of grace.
-[Christine] Yeah. -[Kody] David, thank you.
I appreciate what David's sharing.
It's the only -- it's the only difficulty
in apologizing to my ex while her husband is here is
that he wants to be involved in the conversation,
and it's not an apology to him or from him.
I, uh...
I apologize, here's the huge one,
for saying I didn't love you.
[tense music playing]
I was angry, and that wasn't cool.
Again, you just got to let that go.
Look, I remember what it was like.
But I've got a new husband here now.
That's weird, man. That's a weird thing to say.
I have a husband right here now.
You know, I used to love you.
I can't imagine what's going through David's head right now.
I'm like, "Oh, that's -- that's a, look, I know."
That doesn't affect me.
That's you. That is on you.
[Kody] Next time on "Sister Wives."
[Christine] This is my husband here.
This is so weird.
[David] You know damn well you loved her,
because you wouldn't have gotten married,
you wouldn't have had all these kids if you didn't love her.
There is so much water under the bridge.
-I'm here to apologize. -Start with your kids.
[Robyn] There just seems to be this, ke,
constant piling and piling.
We talked about the spiritual divorce,
and I think I'm ready.
But I'm a little bit intimidated to go talk to those guys
who I haven't talked to in forever.
Call, text, I dare you.
I'm actually gonna just do it right now.
-[gasps] Do it. -OK.
It is sent, Meri. It is sent.
So I'm having a conversation tomorrow with Kody.
Haven't you been divorced for over a damn year?
Some ugly things have happened,
so I really don't know what to expect.
