In season 1 episode 6 of Sister Wives, titled "A Fourth Wife to Be," the Browns are on the lookout for another wife to add to their family.

The episode starts with Kody explaining that in the polygamist lifestyle, it is the husband's duty to find his own wives. He then goes on to share that he has been in contact with a potential fourth wife named Robyn. Kody has been in communication with Robyn for a few months and has decided that she is someone he would like to bring into the family.

Meri, Janelle, and Christine all have concerns about how the addition of a fourth wife might change the dynamics of the family. They worry about how they will all fit together and whether or not they will get along.

Kody reassures his wives that he has taken their concerns into consideration and has spent a lot of time talking to Robyn about what she wants out of a polygamist lifestyle. He also shares that he has made it clear to Robyn that if she decides to join the family, she will have to bond with the other wives and get their approval before she can become a permanent fixture in the family.

The episode then cuts to Kody's first meeting with Robyn. Kody takes Robyn to a local park and they sit down to talk.

Robyn also shares her concerns about becoming a fourth wife. She worries that the other wives won't accept her and that she won't fit into the family dynamic. Kody assures Robyn that he will work to make sure she feels comfortable and accepted by the other wives.

The episode then jumps back to the other wives, who are still grappling with the idea of adding a fourth wife. They discuss their concerns with each other, but ultimately they all agree that they trust Kody to make the right decision for the family.

Kody then takes each of his wives to meet Robyn individually. The meetings don't go as smoothly as Kody had hoped, with some of the wives feeling jealous and others feeling like their positions in the family are being threatened.
