So I wonder which funeral that Tony and McKeltie’s cryptic comments about Robyn refer to. I do believe they know the difference between funeral and memorial, and aren’t using the term interchangeably. If it’s the first one, I can understand that emotions run and it’s best not to say questionable things. I know that I was very upset when a friend told me after my son’s death ‘ at least you don’t have to worry about him anymore’ - he had epilepsy. She followed it up with ‘everything happens for a reason’. Fyi - never say that to a grieving mom.

No they asked them to be at a respectful distance … as in out of sight, out of mind. There was a screen shot that said this. Some of the attendees obviously signed consent forms others didn’t. Those people were blurred out. It was the military memorial that they didn’t want filmed. We weren’t shown that .. only photos on some social media.

Maddie referred to her dad as Kody. We know that she hasn’t spoken to him for some time, and that she doesn’t want him around her kids ( but she would be at a family gathering with them and him because she has been). She’s emotionally disowned him if she’s calling him Kody.

Paedon - that was really touching Hunter, so broken up, so sad for him. I do love the fact that people got to put things in the grave.

I understand wanting to bring your own to do this sacred thing … since it’s a pilgrimage … but Kody’s vacation there doesn’t match a pilgrimage. His talk is very littered with platitudes but he doesn’t walk that talk.

I don’t begrudge Kody digging the grave -but Where is the cemetary representative to make sure Kody stays in the plot lines and digs things according to code? It’s obviously not common for people to dig there because he said it’s the first one he has done. His Dad and Sheryl are buried there.

I got the impression that Kody and etc were invited to fishing and chose not to go. Janelle said she’d texted him the plans. Kody, if you needed ‘this’ then go spend time with your other children who are hurting. Learn something from the past.

Yes to the first question. Two of Christine’s kids are in NC, but not necessarily near Janelle. Gwen is the only OG child in Flagstaff - she’s married. No one is sure where David (Dayton) is - possibly in the RV or possibly up near his biological father. We also aren’t sure which name he prefers to use now.

It’s a Bible quote. It continues ‘for they shall be comforted.’

He did say that. It’s possible that Logan had both until Gabe moved where he could have one.

I believe he later commented he’d seen something similar elsewhere and just said it as a joke. Now jokes are often a passive/ aggressive way of saying something without saying it…

Agreed. She’s been off ever since we first saw her. His dad had obvious issues, but Colter implied his mom was normal. I could never understand why she was still ‘hiding’ in that isolated area years after her husband’s death. Poor Russell, to be estranged from his siblings for no reason other than being able to leave. Did we know if Russell suspected his mom?

Yes. Christine and Meri were each lighthearted for a minute and then turned to serious matters. Kody was in vacation mode the entire day even though the camera was following him because of Garrison. Think before you act. Yes, life goes on and you can have enjoyable days … but your trip was for Garrison’s memorial. You weren’t on vacation.

It seems one of the boys had them, but Kody wanted to be the one to drive them to Wyoming,

Oh joy Kody and his signs. And a stagecoach ride. And now a street show. Really? Janelle doesn’t need to see this. It’s jarring in an episode about Garrison’s memorial. More so than Christine’s planters or Meri’s carpet.
