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!

Kody's fiancee Robyn helps out with the kids while Kody escorts Christine to the hospital to give birth; their newest baby is a week overdue and they must decide whether or not to induce labor.

In the fourth episode of Sister Wives Go To Therapy, we witness Christine giving birth to Truely. She's alone in so many ways. Kody is physically present, but emotionally detached, and it’s clear that their relationship has some passive aggressiveness coming from both sides. Kody prioritizes seeing Robyn over being there for Christine IN LABOR. Meanwhile, Robyn steps in to help with the kids while Christine’s in the hospital, and she's tearful about her own family growing up. I have some theories about what's going on there. Let’s get into it.

Christine is devastated to find out about Kody and Robyn's first kiss. Robyn tears up over how hard it is for *her*. Meri mentions the thought about leaving the family. And Christine, nine months pregnant, is left alone to hook up a dryer.
