It’s the beginning of a new chapter for the Brown family in the season 3 premiere of Sister Wives. Kody Brown and his four wives - Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn - are forced to live apart due to the threat of prosecution for polygamy in their home state of Utah. The family is separated as Kody spends time with each wife in their respective homes in Nevada, while the rest of the family remains in Utah.
Meri is the first wife to be visited by Kody, and she’s thrilled to have him all to herself for the first time in a while. Together, they explore the most romantic spots in town, including a picturesque park and a local hiking trail. Meri opens up to Kody about her desire to expand their family and have another child. However, Kody is hesitant, explaining that he wants to make sure that all of their existing children are well taken care of before they bring another one into the mix.
Janelle is next on Kody’s list, and her experience couldn’t be more different from Meri’s. While she’s happy to see Kody, she’s feeling overwhelmed by the fact that they’re living apart and misses her sister wives and children. Janelle confides in Kody about her struggles adjusting to the separation and the stress of being a single parent. Kody listens intently and promises to do everything he can to support her through this difficult period.
Christine is the third wife to be visited by Kody, and she’s eager to show him around her home and introduce him to her new friends. She takes Kody to a yoga class, where he struggles to keep up with the fast-paced routine and ends up being the butt of a few jokes. Christine’s friends show her support and understanding, and even offer to help her find a new home if the family is forced to leave Utah permanently.
Last but not least, Kody heads to Robyn’s house, where he’s reunited with his youngest child, who he hasn’t seen in weeks. Robyn shares her concerns about the separation and the impact it’s having on their family, and Kody reassures her that he’s doing everything in his power to keep the family together.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the challenges faced by the Brown family as they navigate the legal and emotional complexities of their unique lifestyle. Despite the hardships they endure, the family remains committed to staying together and supporting one another no matter what. Sister Wives season 3 episode 1 is a heartwarming and emotional look at what it means to be a family in the face of adversity.
