This one is rough.
SpoilerSeason 17 – “Coronapocalypse.” Alternate title, “Kody Brown: It’s All About Me. Always. And Don't You Forget It.”
Sigh…..I love to recap. I love to write, and I love snark. But this episode was triggering in so many ways and my ability to snark might not meet my own high expectations. Because once again, Kody Brown has managed to stun me to the point of not even knowing what to say.
BUT – here we go. Apologies for the length but a lot of sh!t hit a lot of fans.
Previously on SW – Kody spouts off some misogynistic crap he learned on HeManWomanHatersClub.com. Something about how all women are bad and there’s no love without respect, blah blah. This is only the first 15 seconds of the show and he’s already showing his ass. He’s only getting warmed up, folks. Strap in.
We begin with a short Robyn segment where she wrinkles her sperm eyebrows and pretend rages that if Kody doesn’t get his crap together, he’s going to ruin every single marriage he has – hers being the unspoken exception, of course. Whatever, lady – take several seats, we’ll see you plenty later on.
Look! Truely is actually allowed into her dad’s house! At least this one time, anyway! Kody asks Truely if she brought her pajamas and she replies that she did not – she tells this strange man that her mother said it was up to her if she wanted to stay the night, and she clearly does not want to. Kody asks her if she wants to help him “work” because he has zero idea how to interact with this child, and also probably because he knows she’ll say no and then he can whine that he tried. Ari, meanwhile, tries to tackle Truely to the ground and has to be warned by Robyn to take it easy…this girl definitely runs that house, not that I ever doubted it. We see an outside drone shot of Robyn’s castle, and I had to pause it a few times – this HOUSE. Did you look in the windows?! Every windowsill is loaded with tchotchkes, and the basement looks to be filled floor to ceiling with boxes. When we’re treated to a brief look inside the house, there’s not one square foot that doesn’t have a mishmash of Hobby Lobby 50% clearance items taking up space. One of her built-in living room shelves is literally crammed with enough figurines to stock a second-hand shop. Maybe when this show finally tanks, Robyn can get a guest appearance on Hoarders.
Next up is a LONG segment with Janelle and Kody going out to eat at Fat Olive’s, the place that gives its customers 50 sliced lemons free with appetizer. Janelle wants to “soothe the waters” with Kody, because it’s been a rough summer. While Kody squeezes a lemon into his water with his mask dangling stupidly from one ear, Janelle broaches the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Kody says that if the family gathers, he’s not going to keep quiet about the disrespect he’s gotten from certain family members, and we all know he’s talking about Gabe and Garrison. He says that no one who harbors any animosity towards him and Robyn gets an invite to dinner unless he gets some serious groveling and apologizing from them. Robyn’s fake-concerned face pops up and she whines that she didn’t even know that Kody was going to ask the boys to apologize to her, but that they were indeed texting her and blaming her for the fact that their dad wanted nothing to do with them for the duration of the pandemic, but it’s certainly not her fault because she loves them, and seriously – shut up, Robyn. For real, stop. You’re an idiot.
Basically, Kody’s warped thought process is, if the members of his family cannot defer to him as Supreme Leader, then they can take a hike, and that includes Janelle. Janelle grows a backbone in an interview and drops a truth-bomb – per Kody, Robyn is the victimized saint and everyone has been such a big meanie to her, but Janelle says that Robyn kept herself separate from the beginning. Back at the lemon restaurant, Kody gets all up in Janelle’s face and I physically recoil in my chair and nearly spill my wine as I reach out to slap him out of her personal space. He Manson-eyes her and says that they have never lived like a married couple. Janelle is all, “dude! You were never around! If I wanted anything done I had to do it myself and you were cool with that for 30 years – now all of a sudden, you want to claim your Lordship over your household when you’re never even here?” Kody whines that Janelle does things without his input and she’s like, I’ve been doing that for the entirety of our marriage and now suddenly, that doesn’t work for you? Kody starts listing the things that Janelle has done to erase his title as Headship, like visit their grown kids without him (he wouldn’t have gone anyway) and buy and RV (he never helped her look for something to rent). Regarding the RV, he grouches about how he doesn’t want dogs and dog hair in his bed, and I’m like – sir? You don’t shed copious amounts of crunchy extensions on every pillow you lay your permed head upon? Please. This whole stupid and lengthy conversation comes down to brass tacks because what Kody really wants is Janelle’s allegiance regarding his divorce to Christine. Kody interviews that he’s currently experiencing divorce heartbreak (even though he’s told us several times that he loathes everything about Christine) and he demands fealty from Janelle, which she’s not about to give. They also both question if they want to continue going forward as a family. For the love, Janelle needs to peace out – and if she hasn’t after what we are about to see, she can go jump headfirst into Plague Pond after a sewage flood for all I care.
Because now it’s Gabe’s turn.
But first, Kody tells us that, 20 months into the “coronapocalypse” (give me a break, drama queen – yes, the pandemic has been/is absolutely horrific. But now that it’s hit the only few people you really care about, it’s time to turn it up to 11 and coin it the apocalypse?), it’s hit the most careful people in the entire world – Kody and Robyn Brown and their kids. We see a stranger in a black hoodie coughing, and it takes me a second to realize it’s Robyn – without her eyebrows, I didn’t recognize her. She’s sick – and forgive me, I have to bring this up – but not sick enough to stop filming herself being sick. Kody moans that he doesn’t even know what day it is because he’s been so busy taking care of everyone else but you guys, he’s sick too and he has every single symptom of Covid and some that I’ve never heard of (later he tells us, no lie, that his ASS muscles hurt). So with Kody going out of his mind with worry over Robyn, he calls Gabe, because Gabe’s had Covid.
He calls Gabe – on Gabe’s birthday. And I KNEW this was going to be bad, but….
Gabe relates how Kody called him to ask questions about Covid. Gabe tells us that he really wanted to remind his father that it was his birthday but also wanted to see if Kody remembered. Shocker - Kody did not. And then Gabe, this man-child, breaks down, sobbing. SOBBING. THIS is real emotion, Robyn, if you ever want to compare your pretend dry-cries to a person who is actually clearly broken. THIS is what Kody is doing to every member of his extended family in one way or another. I have a son near Gabe’s age and if anyone made him this despondent, they would be answering to my earth-scorching rage. It’s SO hard to watch – this kid, once the tears start, he can’t stop them. And while I am also tearing up watching this play out, I am silently applauding Gabe for allowing himself to be filmed during a deeply personal and vulnerable moment, because there’s probably no other way to make Kody see what he’s done to his son. Dear Gabe – I hope you do what you need to do to heal. I honestly hope you end up okay. Sincerely, all of us watching.
Gabe tells us that Kody did eventually call back to wish him happy birthday because Janelle probably texted Kody to remind him, but Gabe says that phone call – in October of 2021 – was his last communication with his dad.
So let’s wrap this up with the Coronavirus-Nineteen-‘Pocalypse or whatever Kody’s calling it now.
They all have it, except Aurora, who – upon learning that despite her dad’s extreme protoculls, it got into their mansion anyway – shuts herself in her room and doesn’t come out. After 10 days, Kody tells us that Aurora came upstairs crying that she missed her family. Aurora? Why don’t you give your step-brother Gabe a call and ask him how he handles not seeing his family? Just a thought. Not that I blame Aurora completely – she’s been brainwashed by her parents for a decade. Plus I’m certain that Kody pushed the doom and gloom narrative of Covid upon those kids so hard that they were probably afraid to breathe in public.
Because now Kody’s sitting in his car outside the ER where his Queen is currently waiting to be seen by a doctor, wondering if he should check himself into the hospital and perform his own chest x-ray in order to be close to Robyn, but – in a rare and fleeting moment of clarity – realized that it might not be a good idea because other people might actually be sicker than he is. Wow, Kody. You think? I mean, with your ass hurting and all, you might be the second sickest person next to Robyn, that is. So brave.
Robyn manages to once again film herself from the ER and says that it’s a struggle to breathe (but not, apparently, to film herself). Her tests come back normal and she’s released, and I don’t want to talk about Robyn anymore. We see Brianne and Aurora on the couch, and Brianne looks identical to her mother as she does the patented face-scrunch, talking about how scared she was and again, I don’t blame her, as I’m sure Kody did his very best to tell Brianne that Covid likely got into their extra-protected home via her going to school. Unfortunately we keep getting Kody’s dumb face interspersed during all of this, telling us about his brain fog, and how he didn’t even shower for three days, and how his trapezoid muscles hurt in addition to his gluteus maximus, etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc………..
I swear I am going to get to the end of this recap.
In a Kody non-sequitur, he tells us how he drove past Christine’s house and had to remove his hoodie because it was choking him in his rage. Huh? What – you know what, never mind. Moving on.
With the Covid disaster behind them, it’s now Halloween and Kody dresses up like King Tut and Robyn as Cleopatra so Prince Sol and Princess Ariabelliobla can trick-or treat in their very own yard. What fun! I wonder if Kody took any of his other kids trick-or treating? See? He is an involved dad! It just depends on which kids you ask.
He sucks.
The End.
P.S. I forgot, Meri also showed up to collect her $147.85 royalty check in a self-filmed talking head. She must have a contract that insists she appear on the show for a minimum of 5 seconds per episode. Whatever.

I don't think Kody prefers the Robyn 5 over the other kids, they just happen to live where he lives now. I don't think he pays them any more attention than he paid to any of his other children when his was rotating houses. He probably sees the older 3 at dinner and ignores Sol and Ari as they play, watch TV, or whatever. Robyn would never allow him to parent on his own, because he sucks at it. I mean, so does she, but she doesn't think so.
Hmm, and I kind of think he is all up in their business all the time, lol - well, maybe not to that extent but I can't see Robyn allowing Kody to plop his behind on the couch and scroll on his phone while all five kids are wandering around. We know from Kody and Robyn that her kids don't really go anywhere, so if they are all stuck under the same roof I'm sure Robyn forces Kody to be the parent to her kids that she knows he wasn't to the others.
Although given his weird interactions with Sol, he might interact with the kids but on his own terms, and the kids - having been brainwashed into thinking that Daddy Kody is the sun, moon and stars, are his helpless audience. Whatever's going on, I don't think it's healthy for any of the kids in the mansion.

Christine had to face facts. Now it’s Janelle’s turn. She doesn’t seem to care about affection, but she does need money/housing and her husband/“best friend” refuses to help her because she is not loyal (i.e. submissive and completely dependent upon him) like his dog of a fourth wife.
I haven't watched any of the clips in order to keep my rage fresh for the recap, but Janelle seems to have finally woken the hell up when it became crystal clear that Kody didn't care if she and Savanah became homeless, which boggles the mind when Kody and Robyn could easily take in Janelle and Savanah for a few months. But if Kody won't even take Truely for a weekend, there's no way he'd take in Janelle, her random kid, and her awful dogs for any length of time.
Robyn has created a true sociopath with Kody. I hope she understands the ramifications when eventually he ends up with no one to turn his wrath on except her.

I remember reports from a while ago that despite his protoculls, Kody had contracted Covid. Was this his second case or didn't they disclose at the time that Robyn had it, too?
They probably had to save her diagnosis for the show because Kody and Robyn will do literally anything to keep the story lines flowing, including pretending that Robyn is on her death bed even though Star has current photographs of The Dark Queen and her Court Jester giggling as they exit Victoria's Secret and head to Applebee's for dinner.

She could go outside and play with her siblings, using their imagination to create games, play make-believe, or -
Yeah, I really didn't think that through. The only imagination they have is cultivated by Jill and it probably gets old playing "let's hand out tracts" or "pretend to sell Plexus" or Jill's favorite, "wedding day dress up with brooms."
Those poor kids.

Whoa, I have never seen this travesty before, but you can pretty much read the minds of the Big Three: Meri is all, look what I did! This bump will someday grow up to be my very bestest friend! Janelle is like - this sucks, I hate this, I hate everything, just take the damn picture and leave me alone, and Christine is still firmly planted in her "keep sweet" phase. This picture is all kinds of wrong.
On 11/27/2022 at 10:21 AM, LilyD said:It has come up on the show a couple of times that Robyn hates pets, particularly dogs. I can definitely remember Kody saying that he wanted to have a dog but that Robyn wouldn’t have one. Which doesn’t justify kicking an animal of course.
I remember Kody not wanting Christine to get a dog (when she got the dog for Ysabel and Truely was afraid of it) and making some comment about how whoever got another dog would be receiving less visits from him or something like that...so if Robyn hates pets, then it stands to reason that Kody may have once been the biggest dog-lover on the planet but now hates all animals because Robyn said so.
And if Meri still claims to be Robyn's BFF after carefully watching that video then they deserve each other. There are several ways to shoo away a pet, kicking it is not on that list.

Good heavens, these people....I find myself studying this image like I'm preparing for a test and I still don't get it.
From left to right - Kody and Robyn's giant plot of land...based on this, Robyn - the original lowly scrap-getter...gets Janelle's pond and Meri's trees? Seems about right.
Whose plot of land is supposed to belong to Kody, Janelle and Meri? I assume Meri, but again - no trees. But it's the second biggest plot so it makes sense that it belongs to Meri, who lives alone (Brown Family Logic™).
The Kody and Robyn cute lil' plot - that must be for Kody's private house that he wanted to build to get the hell away from the chaos of the annoying family he created...the house with the ginormous gathering area for when all the kids he hasn't permanently run off wander back to sit at his knee and listen to his tales of polygamy persecution and woe.
And Janelle's plot is as far away from the pond as she could be - how's she going to cross everyone else's plots of land to haul water from Plague Pond for her
grow housegreenhouse without getting a round of buckshot to the ass from the window of Meri's turret?Fascinating, these people.

I get a visceral reaction every time I see that "headship's hand on helpmeet's elbow" pose. I keep waiting for Michelle to turn around and clock JB upside the head, yelling "for the love of all that is holy, STOP TOUCHING ME." Or maybe he does that to hold her upright. Either way, I hate it.

Sadie is a beautiful little girl who looks as delicate as a porcelain vase. Maybe the dark under-eye circles are hereditary, or her pale skin emphasizes them, but she seems to have the pallor of a kid who doesn't get to play outside very much and that breaks my heart.

Kody and Robyn suck. Kody has been fortunate enough to have had a tv show for 17 seasons - that's an amazing run for a reality show. Had he not started living like the Earl of Flagstaff, and had he gently asked Lady Sobyn of the Eyebrows to get a part-time job to help pay the bills and perhaps stop buying every Precious Moments figurine ever created, and had he not housed his Ladyship in a mansion that could've fit his entire family with turrets to spare, and had he not constantly borrowed from one property to pay for another, he wouldn't be in the stupid mess he's in now.
And while he pushes Janelle and Meri out the door, how does he think he's going to afford the lifestyle that Lady Sobyn and her heirs are accustomed to when the show goes belly up?
I need to see the season where Robyn and Kody are evicted from their castle, and that segment of the family is forced to move into Janelle's RV, parked on Coyote Pass. Let Aurora and Brianna share the "dog beds." Force Kody to live there once and for all. Let's watch as Sol and Ari play with the RV's auto-level buttons to the point where the RV tilts dangerously sideways, threatening to fall into Plague Pond. Watch as Kody unhooks the sewage tank and gets hosed. See Robyn miserable. And then, let that be the last season.

THIS. Had Robyn dropped her an invite, Meri would've donned her very best LLR leggings and high-tailed it over there so fast, she'd leave skid marks.
Glad to see she's no longer sick and is now vibin' and thrivin'. Quick recovery.

Regarding Kody and Robyn and their treatment of the Big Three - what is their end goal, I wonder? It's clear that Kody is done with polygamy and only wants Robyn, and he's doing his best to gaslight the OG 3 out of his life. Christine is out, I hope Janelle is close behind, and Meri is hanging on like a dingleberry. But Kody and Robyn have to know that if it's down to the two of them, the show is over and with it, the money. When Kody and Robyn are banana-curling each other's hair every day, I wonder if they discuss their situation - is it better to be done with the show and ride off into the sunset together? Do they think the show will go on with just the two of them? Are they in secret negotiations with the other three to make sure they continue to film, even though their leaving makes Kody and Robyn look like sociopaths, just so the money keeps rolling in?
Kody seems to have promised his favorite wife a lifestyle above and beyond what he can afford, and he's using the show to partially fund it (since Robyn is apparently too pretty to cook OR get a job). But he's pushing away the women who allowed him to get a show in the first place.

I'm pretty sure we have Robyn to thank for his curly-Qs. I think I remember him being amazed that she showed him how to "make his curls work".
I just figured out what the nanny does - she watches the kids while Robyn and Kody go into the bathroom for hours and take turns banana-curling each other's hair. That explains why they're sporting similar hairstyles lately. The gel budget for that house must be insane.
On 11/28/2022 at 9:17 AM, steff13 said:I saw on the previews for next week Kody telling Janelle that their relationship was never good (or something like that).
And he was leaning right up in her face as he said it - he must know that he has to turn the gaslight jet up to "11" when dealing with Janelle. It was gross, and that was only the preview. I just wish she'd slapped him out of her personal space.
18 hours ago, 65mickey said:I want to grab Janelle and tell her like Cher told Ronnie "Snap out of it." She is so delusional about Coyote Pass. She is never going to have a house there.
This is what I can't figure out about Janelle. She HAS to know that CP is never going to happen - she had to have known it ages ago. So her insistence on plopping that RV on CP as a way to save money to pay the land and build - what is her motivation? She cannot be that stupid - she's been married to this guy forever and she's seen the wreckage that Robyn has strewn in her path...I just can't wrap my head around Janelle thinking she was going to force Kody's hand regarding CP while also knowing deep down that it was never going to happen. I used to think she just really wanted an RV and used the CP narrative as leverage to get it, but I just don't know. Can she be both smart and stupid at the same time?

I hope not, because otherwise he'll insist that Truely has to come for visitation then and there. You know...so she can shovel. That way it will be all Christine's fault.
Sadly, I can envision this very scenario playing out.
Janelle's tears in this episode were something to behold. She's gotten emotional on the show in the past but nothing on the level of the tears she shed when she realized that with Christine leaving, a book is closing - and I think she was realizing at that moment how much more miserable her life was going to become minus Christine.
I hope the producers are having as much fun with season as I am watching it, because I am loving the jarring Meri couch sightings - we get a deep, emotional segment of Christine discussing leaving, or Janelle handing us some piping hot tea about her relationship with Robyn, and then we suddenly get Meri's orange sad frowny face and whiny wishy-washy voice - "Yeah, ya know....people always ask me about why I stay? Ya know? And I'm like, well...ya know, I have value so I stay because, ya know, my value isn't tied to anyone else, ya know." It's a juxtaposition between the emotional and the banal and I love it.
Great recap, @the-grey-lady! You know 80% of the crap Kody is spewing this season came from his incel friends over at BoysRule GirlsDrool.com or whatever scary, misogynistic site he's getting his misguided information from. If I were Robyn, I'd handle Kody like the delicate porcelain vase that he is - he's eventually going to have to turn his views on the occupants of the mansion once he's driven away all his lesser wives and children. I hope she knows that, and I hope it keeps her up at night (along with Ari, swinging from the chandeliers).

Robyn said that Christine leaving has caused collateral damage that will last generations to come - any idea what that damage is and how it will impact successive generations?
Perhaps it means that Aurora's granddaughter, having been denied the money due her by Truely's grandkids, will be forced to use the same eyebrow stencil as her great-grandma Robyn, causing the sperm toothbrush eyebrows to plague the family for generations to come.

The Browns own Robyn's mansion (I use the term "own" loosely here since they owe a fortune on it) AND two adjacent lots? Problem solved. Build a house for Meri on one lot and a casita for Janelle on the other and sell CP. Done.
I'm sure neither Kody nor Robyn wants them that nearby but it seems like a perfect solution if they were really interested in problem solving this mess.
Khaos Kody has zero interest in solving any problems, only in creating them. He literally talks out of both ends and then flounces off, leaving his various wives to try and make sense of what is happening. Sadly, it's taken this long for Christine, and now perhaps Janelle, to decide to no longer live a life controlled by the whims of a Ramen-headed caveman. Better late than never.

I adore this idea so much, I can't even tell you. And the visual this particular sentence gave me had me snort-laughing. I can see Janelle plopping herself down on Robyn's pleather couch, dirty feet propped up on the ottoman, chugging Plexus and eating a bowlful of canned cabbage while Kody and Robyn look on nervously, waiting for the inevitable dash to Robyn's pretty, dainty, Willow Tree decorated bathroom....

I have to agree. The RV thing was not a wise decision if they had not even obtained proper surveying yet and permits to configure the lots. What was Janelle thinking? When Kody looked at her and said "Janelle, why are we in here" (pointing the RV) and she said "because I got a lot done," I said out loud. WHAT? WHAT did you get done?
I too was wondering what she meant when she said she got a lot done. Did she mean saving money for CP? Clearing the tumbleweeds from the property and chasing away the prairie dogs? Mining the plague pond for gold? I was of the mind that she bought that RV and parked it square on CP (hopefully directly in Robyn's line of vision from the turret in her mansion) to call Kody's bluff about building, and/or to have a means of escape if it turned out Coyote Pass was just a pipe dream. But she seemed genuinely frustrated when she told Kody that she'd gotten a lot done. I hope we get more of the scoop in the next episode.

And just last week, Janelle seemed to think there was enough money to pay off the land and start building on CP and Kody said there wasn't. Can't either of them read a bank balance?
Every time Kody suspects Janelle of looking at their bank balance, he probably whisks Robyn out for a shopping spree at Victoria's Secret to bring that balance back down, so it never gets high enough to break ground.
That poster is everything, except I feel bad for the prairie dogs who were just minding their own business until the clown cars showed up, and the crazy man in the panties jumped into their pond.

My take on Ari's "date!" advice was that it was in response to Christine saying that her and Kody weren't in love anymore. I think Robyn and Kidney go on a lot of dates together and when Ari throws a fit that they are leaving, they have to explain how important it is for mommy and daddy to date each other. But, I agree, this kid has heard A LOT of stuff about the other households. Last week's episode was epic when Ari was pontificating about someone being cut off and leaving. OMG!
This! Either Ari is wise beyond her years and can take what she's overhearing and apply it to current situations, or Robyn is using Ari as a lil' mini therapist and spilling all the tea to her. Either way, all five of those kids are going to need therapy for being stuck in that house with a narcissistic nutjob dad and a mom who fake cries all the time.

S17.E13: Coronapocalypse
in Sister Wives
Most parents want their kids to do better than they did. Kody seems to want the opposite - I think he's angry and jealous of his sons. However, and this drives me crazy - I can't ever see Kody treating Logan or Hunter the way he treats Garrison and particularly Gabe, and they are all his sons from the same mother. If Kody is scared or intimidated by Logan and Hunter (and he should be), then why does he go after Gabe with such vitriol? That has never made sense to me. Kody seems to enjoy knocking his two sons down several pegs whenever he has the chance, and this moron needs to understand - the fact that his grown sons WANT to spend time with him, and he's categorically denying them this, means that eventually they are going to learn to contentedly live life without Kody's presence. Just because Kody has King Sol as heir to his throne doesn't mean he should be throwing away his relationships with the rest of his sons. Kody is scum.
Ooh, interesting. I agree, there's a god complex that they both have (add David Miscavige to that too). All little men who think extremely highly of themselves, and will not be questioned no matter how convoluted their rules are, and use mental torment and isolation to get what they want.
ALL OF THIS. He didn't call Gabe to gain honest information on Covid, he called to rub it in Gabe's face and for the record, it wouldn't surprise me if Kody actually did know it was Gabe's birthday and purposefully delayed saying anything about it.
I have thought this about Kody since season one - the more chaos he creates, the less he actually has to do. If no one understands what he's doing or where he's going, he doesn't have to deal with those icky female things like jealousy, love, quality time, etc.
Since there are empty seats behind Christine and Janelle, I think he sat his real family on the other side on purpose, to make a characteristically ego-driven statement that his widdle fillings got hurt by those two big meanie wives of his. I don't care if he needed 8 seats together or whatever to seat Robyn and her spawn - he's Logan's dad and should've set aside his temper tantrum to support his son.
Of course, it could've been Logan himself who wanted his parents separated. If so, bravo.
