The big day is finally here, Robyn and Kody are excited and his three other wives are all on hand to help make this fourth wedding a success. Will everything go to plan?

Is Kody and Robyn's wedding is a union of soul mates, a blending of two families, or a coming out party? Meri and Kody lean into a fleeting flirtatious energy, Robyn pretends to be laidback, Christine puts on a smile while quietly grieving, and Janelle's just counting down the hours until she can head home. While this episode carries an optimistic and lighthearted tone, there is a big change happening in the Brown family system, and the tension of everyone's competing feelings and motivations will come to a head. Stay tuned!

As his fourth wedding day nears, Kody's other wives help Robyn choose her dress, cake and venue, and Kody plans a special trip for his daughter Janelle's birthday.

In this week’s episode, it’s all about performance, power, and pastries. We watch the family “vote” on a wedding cake in a process that’s allegedly democratic, except for the part where Kody lobbies for his choice and gets it. Robyn keeps her dress a “secret” until Kody blows it, showing us how small breaches in trust can sting just as much as the big ones. Christine swats Kody away from her chocolate cake (a.k.a. the perfect metaphor for resource scarcity in plural marriage), then calls him an idiot—reminding me of how women’s justified anger is so often reframed as the problem in couples therapy.

We’ve also got Kody dancing during the cake tasting, Robyn strutting in dresses she has no intention of buying, and the ever-present question: how is the camera influencing their behavior and emotional expression?

While the three wives buy a friendship ring for Kody's fiancee Robyn, Kody prepares to celebrate his 20th Anniversary with his first wife, Meri. But when nothing goes as planned, will Kody end up in the dog house?

In this iconic episode of Sister Wives, we get our first real look at Meri and Kody's relationship. Meri has very basic requests for empathy and understanding and Kody specifically refuses to give that to her. We get a glimpse of Janelle's financial stress, Robyn is forcing Breanna to call Kody 'Daddy', and Leon pleases Kody by talking about their ambition to join the military. As a therapist, I bring a clinical lens to the family dynamics unfolding onscreen—the power plays, unspoken feelings, and revealing word choice many viewers miss. Thanks for being here!
