I am a health insurance broker. You cannot shop for health insurance outside of open enrollment without a qualifying life event. So no idea what christine was looking for. Plus, if you have insurance on the federal marketplace or a state exchange 99% of the plans do not have coverage out of network, or out of state. Now maybe because of a "change of financial situation" she qualified for medicaid outside of open enrollment - maybe she proved during covid they had a severe change of cirumstances and qualfied for free health insurance. I was baffled by her revelation, personally. Edited to add: if this "shopping" was done during 2021 (which I think it was not) that would qualify them for the ACA extension of SEP and due to Covid, they could enroll on a plan. Still doesnt explain how Christine shopped for health insurance in 2020 for a specific surgery in NJ, from Arizona.

Agree! I think I read this book when I was in high school or college in late 80s and it had a strong impact on me. When I saw they were making the series I was giddy! I tried to read Testament but the continuation differed so much from what the show has established in season 2-3 that I had a hard time with it. After watching this episode and considering, and reading the comments here, I did not get the feeling that June orchestrated the van heist alone. They all looked at each other with knowing glances. I think Alma was the first to jump up? I am pissed they did not shoot Lydia, but I get that the actress is one of the most highly regarded so they would not kill her off, even though she has had the shit beat out of here so many times already. I have stopped at this episode because I want to savor the journey. I blew through the first 3 episodes ! had to keep watching to see what was next.

For someone with a supposed health crisis every 2 seconds, they sure go on a lot of vacations.🙄 From Danielle IG today, seemed like a post from another Caribbean/Mexican beach resort.

Listen to voicemail 75- its the one where Meri states she is taking steps to get to him... 🤮

I dont agree- at that time Meri was on her way "out" and the divorce played perfectly into her Catfish exit plan.

My takeaways: - communication issues is code for "we have had suppressed honest feelings for so many years and dammit we need to air it all out." That would be the highest rated episode of this mess since the catfish. - The mere fact that Robyn has just "weaned" her 4 year old??? does that mean breastfeeding? with that lumpy thyroid neck issue? GROSS. and to be thinking about even having another spawn? The only reason why she is saying this is because she may have to go get a job. - Why is Robyn in the car on her zoom call? - Wonky editing with Janelle's mouth cancer - its there, its big, its gone, its red, its a scar, oh look don't see it at all - I would love for Christine to move back to Utah and wave goodbye with both middle fingers.

I feel that this age group of the kids and older kids must know what is filmed and probably have the hardest time knowing the family problems (Meri & Kody no sex, etc..). They can now understand what a jerkoff their dad is and how messed up this whole family dynamic is. No wonder all the older kids go running as fast as they can. But Meri brought Robyn into the family...Isn't that a kick in the ass?

I agree, can't even blame it on corona-quarantine depression/weight gain. Both of them are just so "blah".

My take aways from this episode were that they were rilly rilly fillin things about Kronavirus (per Kodufus). So stressful! So upsetting! His "earth time 3/22/2020" annoyed the shit out of me. Emergency! Tub1 and Tub2 are havin to rilly leave Chicago in a hurry!! leave the Kingsize bed behind!!

Regardless, those two are not "romper bodies". It will look horrendous.

I have learned recently that most dgaf about how convenient or inconvenient their weddings are. The trend here in NJ is mid week weddings now! I recall something financial maybe? I also remember Meri had a job and when the show aired she was either fired or forced to quit.

OMG this episode annoyed the crap out of me. The Covid conversations from a year ago are so dramatic and the music is annoying. And the amount of wrinkles that Robyn in generating from the constant frowning and gloom and doom. FLAGSTAFF...NOW...HAS A CASE...OF THE... CORONAVIRUS. But we now know that Christine is regretting her backdoor entrance. HAHA

please watch this hysterical reinactment of the pizza place conversation with sound on. https://www.reddit.com/r/TLCsisterwives/comments/ly9sz9/the_browns_discuss_the_pink_elephant_in_the_room/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

She'd be too tired and unmotivated to make it. The more I think about the timing of taping and current postings from the family, the more likely I am inclined to believe the unreality of this show. They all have parts to play now to keep this going. Kody's angry elf self now is the new "character." Meri spends extraordinary time in the B&B now so she is likely never near the family much. They live completely seperate lives. I actually think that Christine hit the nail on the head and exposed the sham by saying that when Kody comes to her house in the evenings for a few hours (note - not to stay for days or overnight) that it completely disrupts her entire life. She is done.

Especially now that Hannah is engaged to Des. Like the whole season of Luke will not matter one bit now.

I doubt that because they have had multiple posts in 2020 about going to "the beach house". Referring it in such a way that implied it was theirs. I tried searching online and also for rental homes beachfront in Surfside beach or Galveston but couldnt find any info.

So does anyone have any dirt on that yellow house they stayed at at the beach in the first episode?? Do they own that? Or the sister? Because they certainly did not seem like the arrived at an unfamiliar home. they were quite comfortable immediately, almost like they lived there!

Teresa said in the episode she heard it "last year" but she didn't say anything, but she did now because she was drinking. So yeah, this is left over storyline that they probably never played out earlier with Covid shutting down production early in 2020.

I disagree. Gia was on the episode via facetime with Tre from California. She is an adult. Everyone knows their respective "reality" parts coming into the season. I am sure producer influence highly directs what gets said on camera and what is edited into the show. Tre had many many seasons of speculations among the housewives on whether Juicy was cheating on her (of course he was), and she always shut it down by saying "don't talk about my husband/marriage" and then she did exactly that to Jackie once she was single. Not defending Jackie's analogy but she did not accuse Gia of doing coke in the bathroom. She said "what if I said..." Same thing as what Tre did. Kids, parents and husbands were always off limits for talking about, until one of them needed a storyline. Then it was ok. Tre's hot headed overreaction didn't help and this is surely going to be an ongoing storyline for the season...it looks like Tre is the common denominator in the previews for inserting her big mouth into other housewife's marriages including Joe & Melissa.

Im here in NJ. The Pandemic restrictions are in full force. I can only assume that this was filmed in summer when the outdoor dining was a little more relaxed here, but masks are definitely supposed to be worn into and out of restaurants, into and out of bathrooms and 6 ft of social distancing. However, they are probably under relaxed guidelines with prevalent testing during filming. Also, a LOT of places IN NJ got cited over the summer for not following outdoor limit capacities, social distancing and mask usage outside. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I wonder if down the line, its due to too much in-polygamist-breeding...

insurance will not decline a pregnancy if it has already started. I dont know why someone would say that. I am an insurance agent.

They know she has this "attacks" and yet they continued to argue in front of her and basically say that they cannot agree on moving to a rental or buying, but like over and over, to the point where I was wondering why they would even get the kids involved in this?? This is an adult decision.

Jennifer is a bully - disgusting behavior from someone whose own child is bullied at school and brother has been suffering from his mother's issues with being gay. How about looking at your own behavior? Marge is right, your insides are ugly.
