Sister Wives Go to Therapy

The Brown family nervously accepts an invitation from a religious professor to talk to her students in Boston. Anxious about the question they will face, how will they respond? Meanwhile, the older teens tag along to visit some of Boston's best colleges.

The Browns head to Boston to defend plural marriage at a university panel and end up revealing far more than they intended. Christine learns that Aspyn doesn't want to live polygamy, Kody's disdain for Christine boils over, and cutie patootie Logan is so excited to go to college. In the game of good wife/bad wife, I'd say Janelle wins in this episode. What do you think?

When another couple from the Browns' church in Utah comes to visit, the conversation turns to polygamy. How will the Browns respond to questions surrounding courting another wife and dealing with jealousy? What advice will they offer to ensure success?

This episode focuses on one question: Why should a couple enter plural marriage if they know it's going to destroy their relationship? The Browns are giving monogamist couple Andy and Nichole the hard sell. Kody characterizes Warren Jeffs as a bully; meanwhile, their guest Andy compares plural marriage to eating your vegetables. Hunter and Maddie seem to be coming out of their situational depression, and Janelle couldn't be any more relieved.

Christine isn't getting along with her eight-year-old daughter Ysabel so she moves her in with sister wife Meri. Meanwhile, angry teen Hunter spoils the family camping trip.

I strongly disagree with the episode description and I'll tell you why in this episode. My two key takeaways: 1) the parents are fundamentally misunderstanding their children in a way that is hurting them, and 2) oh boy, is Robyn manipulative!

The sister-wives open up about an issue that has bothered all of them: their weight. Watch the sisters speak candidly about their battle with the bulge and see their attempts to shed the pounds as they they make their way to a gym for a body-fat analysis.

Well, that was horrible. I always include the TLC/Puddle Monkey/Discovery+ episode description in my show notes and this one is just awful. I realize in the Age of Recreational GLP-1s, diet culture is here to stay...but wow. The Biggest Loser BS in this episode made my blood boil. The whole thing felt like an exercise in humiliation, especially for Janelle. They literally weigh the wives on camera and Robyn, being the lightest, lets out a 'Woo!' Despite all the mistreatment, Janelle is a great mom in this episode. And Christine? I have a theory she's spending a ton of energy to stop herself from blurting out that she wants to end her marriage. What do you think?

Kody returns to his Wyoming hometown with all four wives to introduce them to his high school friends. The group faces mixed, and sometimes hostile, reactions regarding their polygamist lifestyle. Meanwhile, Robyn and Kody officially announce the name of their baby.
You know how so many Sister Wives episodes are engraved in our brains? Not this one. Beyond his high school friends speculating on his sexuality, there are so many moments here worth remembering, from Kody's pathetic attempts to get Ken's approval to the Lovell townspeople literally pointing and whispering. And here's a first in this rewatch: I almost felt bad for Kody. To round out the episode, we have Robyn using her pregnancy to try to rewrite her romantic history. I wish she named the baby Gabe as an anonymous child suggested. Let me know what you think!
