In a heated preview for an upcoming Sister Wives episode, tensions flare between Kody Brown and his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown. The couple sits on an ATV outside. They discuss Kody’s failed marriages and their fallout.
Robyn Brown, visibly frustrated, tells Kody, “You just said a lot of weird things about relationships and the past. Said a lot of strange things that I don’t quite understand.” Kody, initially avoiding eye contact, eventually looks her in the eyes and delivers a shocking confession.
“I don’t want to blame you for me hanging on to Meri,” Kody says. Robyn’s head snaps up in disbelief as he continues, “But I felt like I couldn’t get out of that. And your backing my conscience, saying, ‘You can’t leave.’”
Robyn, clearly taken aback, quickly responds, “I didn’t say, ‘You can’t leave.’ I was just like…” But Kody cuts her off, insisting, “You did.” The tense exchange reveals deep cracks in their marriage. It revisits how Robyn pushed him to stay with Meri, despite their broken relationship.

Sister Wives: Robyn Denies Controlling Kody, but He Stands Firm
Despite Robyn’s protests, Kody Brown doesn’t hold back. “I’m not blaming you,” he says, but adds, “I’m not at your behest. I’m not going to sit here and try and fix things with a marriage that will never work just because you think we should.”
Robyn, still trying to change the subject, asks if Janelle Brown might be interested in reconciliation, but Kody shuts her down. “Not at all,” he says, adding that Janelle feels just as disconnected as he did with Meri.
In a confessional, Kody admits that he stayed with Meri much longer than he wanted to because of Robyn’s influence. “Robyn was constantly encouraging that relationship,” he says, even recalling how she once told him to sleep on Christine Brown’s couch after a fight.
Sister Wives: Janelle and Meri Weigh In on Robyn’s Influence
Janelle Brown isn’t surprised by Kody Brown’s revelation about Robyn’s control, but she’s not impressed either. In her confessional, Janelle suggests it’s “insulting” that Kody would let Robyn dictate his decisions. “It’s a shame if Robyn had that much control over Kody,” she says. “That’s great! They can have that.” Janelle even claps her hands and laughs, clearly relieved to be free from the drama.
Meri Brown, meanwhile, offers a more introspective take. “Robyn was very much wanting mine and Kody’s relationship to heal,” she says. But even Meri questions Robyn’s true intentions. While she believes Robyn values plural marriage, she wonders if there’s more to the story.
Sister Wives: Can Robyn Accept a Monogamous Marriage?
The preview takes another dramatic turn when Kody Brown asks Robyn Brown if she’s ready to accept him as a monogamous husband. With Kody’s plural marriages crumbling and no other wives remaining, the future of their relationship hangs in the balance.
In a separate scene, Kody and Robyn’s tense ATV ride ends with a crash—an ominous metaphor for their relationship struggles.
Sister Wives: Fans React to the Shocking Preview
As expected, Sister Wives fans are buzzing over the explosive preview. Many viewers are speculating whether Robyn manipulated Kody into staying with his other wives longer than he wanted.
“Kody’s finally admitting that Robyn was pulling the strings? Shocker!” one fan wrote on social media.
Another added, “Janelle’s clap and laugh were the best part of the whole thing. She’s so done with Kody and Robyn’s nonsense!”
