The Brown family know how to celebrate Halloween in style, and do it with 21 colourful costumes and 24 pumpkins.

In this short and sweet episode for my time away, I go all the way back to Season 2 Browns, when they were wholesome, and well, whole. It's really jarring to go from Season 20* to this fun, fluffy 22-minute episode. I'll be back next week continuing with Season 20, but for now, enjoy!

*Also, between recording this episode and editing it, I watched episode 2 of Season 20 and wowee so much of this aged like milk. Robyn doesn't consider any of the OG13 her kids anymore. I will definitely be discussing that next week!

Christine and David visit Janelle in North Carolina to celebrate the purchase of her new property; Kody and Robyn discuss their now monogamous relationship and the possibility of bringing in a new wife; Meri dips her toe back into the dating world.

This week marks my first foray into recapping a current season of Sister Wives. While the family is still very aware of the cameras, their guard is lowered, and the vibe is completely different. We see Madison naming her pain in estrangement, Sol being infantilized in real time, Robyn’s covert manipulation, and little signs of Kody's time in the manosphere. And woven through it all is the deep unending grief of losing Garrison, a loss that completely reshaped the family forever and raises the stakes of every decision around contact, distance, and connection. This episode is a toughie, so let's go through it together.

I'm away so next week, you'll get another re-watch episode before I return the following week. Talk to you then!

Kody and Janelle plan a private camping trip that results in a discussion about family finances. Meanwhile, Robyn opens up about her insecurities of not wanting to be a burden on the family financially.

In the Price of Polygamy, we have Kody and Janelle arguing over spending, Robyn 'working hard' to prove her worth, and Christine stretching every dollar. I bring my therapist lens to talk about the Browns and their relationship with money.

In wake of the investigation revolving around the family, the Browns decide to get away for a quick vacation to Kody's parents ranch in Wyoming.

The Browns head to the family ranch to get away from the investigation and media pressure. Kody's cosplaying as a cowboy. The wives go back and forth about their conflicting parenting styles. Grandmas Genielle and Sheryl talk about the experience of adding a wife to the family. And sweet Garrison thinks cows are annoying. Hear some of my thoughts on Robyn's anxiety and why I'd want to work with Grandma Sheryl for a little bit of therapy this week.

Kody and his four wives are off to New York to appear on national television for the first time as open polygamists. Back home, the kids embark on their first day of public school. 

This week, the Brown kids get handed scripts for performing 'family' and the older kids step into the role of psuedo-parents while the actual parents chase their reality tv dreams. On their media tour, Kody and Christine insist they’re a happy family. Were they lying then or just re-writing it now? The parents wring their hands about how the kids will be treated at school, and Meri distracts the paparazzo to protect the little kids from being photographed. Hello? You let TLC cameras into their bedrooms! Meanwhile, Kody’s suffering from a severe case of Main Character Syndrome. All of these people need therapy...

Thanks for listening everyone! I appreciate you!!

Kody and new wife Robyn are off on their honeymoon, spending time surfing and visiting a nearby zoo. Meri, Janelle and Christine stay back home with the kids, but will they have a hard time coping while Kody is away?

We're wrapping up Season 1 with this special episode. Kody is off zip-lining, surfing, and canoodling with Robyn for an 11-DAY HONEYMOON, while the rest of the family is left to recalibrate. Logan continues to step into the role of the adult in the room, Christine tries to convince herself it’s ridiculous to miss Kody, and Janelle gives Kody the silent treatment. Did I mention the 11-day honeymoon? We get a front-row seat to how the Brown family system is in a "fruit basket upset" because one person is showered with attention and all others, wives and children, are neglected. How will this family find a new normal now that Kody clearly prefers his 4th wife? We'll find out in Season 2...

NBC's Natalie Morales sits down with the Browns from TLC's smash hit Sister Wives for a candid discussion about love, marriage, jealousy and what the future may hold. 

In this outlier episode, we watch the Browns (with fresh blowouts!) sit through their own highlight reel, and it feels a bit like bad family therapy on national TV. Kody swings between grandiosity and insecurity, the wives tiptoe around Robyn, and everyone pretends their dysfunction is all in the past. I finally have an email address, so I’d love to hear your thoughts!

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!
