The latest episode of Sister Wives aired on TLC on September 22, 2024, and tensions continued to rise as Kody Brown dealt with the aftermath of his fractured marriages. Kody, once a polygamist, is now left with just one wife, Robyn, after divorcing his other three wives—Janelle, Christine, and Meri.
Janelle is considering a permanent move to Montana, where her daughter Maddie lives, further distancing herself from Kody. Janelle has been asking for clarity on the family’s finances, especially regarding the large property they collectively bought at Coyote Pass. Despite her demands, Kody refuses to share details, blaming his ex-wives for his strained relationships with his children, particularly with Maddie, who, like her mother, wants transparency.
Meri, the first of Kody’s wives, is seeking a formal religious release, symbolizing the final break from her marriage. Despite her official divorce, Meri continues to untangle herself from Kody’s emotional grip, while maintaining the possibility of remarriage in the future.
Christine, who loudly exited the marriage, and Janelle both left without seeking a spiritual divorce, yet neither looks back on their decision. Christine and her daughter Aspyn organize a welcome home party for Ysabel, Kody’s daughter, who underwent surgery for scoliosis—a procedure Kody notably neglected to support.
Kody’s favoritism towards Robyn, which became apparent during the pandemic, ultimately drove the other wives away. Now, the once-unified family faces a deep divide, exacerbated by Robyn’s children feeling isolated from their stepsiblings.
With communication breakdowns and financial disputes at the heart of their problems, Kody’s ex-wives continue to push for what they are owed, both emotionally and financially, while moving on from a man who, despite his many marriages, has failed to maintain any meaningful relationships.
