S19.E05: The Year Of Release

Kody won't be getting another wife.  He's truly, deeply in love for the first time in his life with Robyn.  He THOUGHT he was or could be a polygamist, but after 30 years he wasn't; people change.

Please.  This is just Kody’s current narrative to cover up his bruised ego after the three OG’s left him.  He has always loved being a polygamist and still does.  While I’m sure he loves Robyn, he’s miserable in his monogamous life, estranged from the majority of his family.  He misses the status, the attention, the big family, all of it.

I don’t remember Kody saying anything about that, but the memory isn’t what it used to be. I do remember Janelle saying no to Gabe staying in Vegas though.

Kody definitely said that.  But you’re right - Janelle was against it, too.  I remember her saying that she “didn’t want to be separated from any of her kids.”  I thought it was a selfish POV, and I was disappointed.

I could have gone my whole life without knowing what an expelled placenta looks like.  That was just nasty.  And of course, Robyn ate hers and had to brag about it.  I thought they were both irresponsible saying it helped with PPD.  That's not cool.  At least the OG wives were suitably grossed out.

 

Meri gagging at the idea cracked me up.

Either Mykelti or Robyn noted that animals eat the placenta. If you let them, dogs will eat up their own vomit, ladies. And some dogs eat poop.

 

Quote

I was bothered by the fact that Janelle failed to remember that Meri nursed Maddie for her when Maddie was failing to thrive.  I would think she would express some appreciation for that.

 

I think Janelle remembers. Previously, both Meri and Janelle talked on-screen about Meri nursing Maddie. If we remember after hearing it once, Janelle remembers. Meri mentioned nursing one of the other kids in a pretty vague way, too.

I think they both made a decision not to recount the details. Between this, Logan and Michelle's wedding er... "the event," and extra sparse mentions of Leon, I think some of the older kids may have laid down the law with the parents. They want mentions to be limited.

Now, Maddie's actually on the show sometimes, so that kind of throws a wrench in my theory. Maybe with Maddie, it is that she doesn't want Meri to mention her.

yes this for sure.  But also the horrible scene when Gabe was opening up to Asshat and was dismissed....heartbreaking.  Also also, yanking one of is sons (don't remember which one) out of LV high school when he was in line for a scholarship via his wrestling.  It was SO important to that son, and Janelle was "firm" about not uprooting them (good work Janelle), but none of that mattered because Kody had a hair up his ass about going.  

 

It was Gabe. Was it a scholarship, or was he in line to be captain (or both, maybe)? At any rate, he, Gwendlyn, and Aurora were the kids entering junior year, when the family left Vegas for Flagstaff.

Kody said that it was the best time to move because "the triplets"  would have only a year to finish school, then there was a gap to the next group of kids. Or some such nonsense.

 

No, not exactly.

The idea (I think Robyn is the one who expressed it, but I could be wrong), is that they DID NOT want to move anyone right before their senior year of high school. They wanted to leave Vegas when they did, because it would mean that once they moved, all of the minor children would have at least TWO years in their new school. 

Gabe, Gwendlyn, and Aurora were the three oldest school-aged children ahead of the move. They moved right before their junior year. However, Gabriel then decided to double down on his course work, and graduated in one year, instead of two.

So your defense of Kody is…no one’s perfect?  Yes, Kody has a “side,” and he’s told us what it is: they’re mad because he didn’t love their mothers (lie).  The mothers badmouthed him (most likely a lie).  

Yes, Kody is the bad guy.  That’s not my POV or the kids’ POV.  It’s who he is and who he tells us and shows us who he is on the show!  If there’s another side to him, one not shown on the show, I’d love to know what it is!  
 

 

In Kody's mind, the wives telling the truth and failing to "interpret" KodySpeak so as to shine a better light on him is the same thing as badmouthing  him.

 

For years I suspect the OG3 have managed Kody's relationships with the kids by running interference and helping the kids give Kody the GIANT benefit of the doubt in all situations.  IMO, they stopped doing it when it became clear to them that perhaps THEY had been too generous in their interpretation of Kodys actions and otpives.  His ways of being around Robyn and her crew brought it into focus: Perhaps he isn't just TOO BUSY, stretched too thin, etc. etc...maybe he just does what he wants, when he wants.

Splendor in the trash.  LOL 

and that difference is what I think he means by "never loved" the first 3 wives.  Now that he has experienced real love, he realizes that the supposed love he had before was performative.  OK, I get it.  But he should NEVER EVER say he didn't love them.  He could simply say he loved them in a different way and loved the life they provided.  

I don't think he has ever experienced REAL love. I don't think he is capable of it. He may experience a limited form of love that is transactional, conditional and self-serving. Which means he could turn on Robyn at any time if he decides she's not serving his needs anymore, just the way he did with the original 3 wives.

What he is experiencing with Robyn is someone that flatters his ego more than the others did. Maybe because she's younger, thinner, more sexually attractive (to him) and more willing to efface herself to pump up his ego than the others were and the high he gets from that is what he mistakes for "real" love.

4 hours ago, Granny58 said:

DOESN'T love them is one thing.  NEVER loved them is quite another.  I don't think divorced men say they never loved their first wives.  

Divorced men as self serving as he is can say that. He is capable of limited love in the first place so his relationships with women are not about what they mean to him but what they can do for him. And if they don't do enough for him in his view they are of no use to him. He really has no emotional commitment to them whatsoever so it's easy for him to say he never loved them. It's true that he never experienced REAL love with them, but it's not because he now knows what real love is that he says that, because he is still incapable of real love even with Robyn. Robyn hasn't changed anything about him whatsoever.

I also firmly believe that Christine, who has the mentality of a 15-year-old high school mean girl, has egged them on.

This very well may be true.  And if it is, I have no issues with it.  She has been the "basement" wife most of their marriage.  Kody never seemed to be "there" for her when they were together.  At times, he barely acknowledged her and her concerns.  He gaslighted her in front of the other wives when discussing going back to Utah.  When alone with her, he said he would consider it.  When he got in front of the other wives, he dismissed it pretty much and did not have her back.  Why Meri thought showing Christine the mountain view would make her change her mind, I have no idea.  And Christine was not going for that either.  

So, Christine is only human and after so many years of being the nobody in the relationship and now free from his curly tentacles she is experiencing karma and enjoying it.  I do not begrudge her one bit. 

[DanaMB]

This was really hard to watch, especially the scenes with Janelle and Gabriel, thinking about Garrison and how much pain he must have been in.

Robyn took the big family for granted.  She and Kody thought they could play their selfish games and get away with it.  Big mistake. 

She thought they were her own personal boomerangs...she and Kody kept tossing them away and figured that they would keep coming back.  I don't think she ever expected ALL of them to not come back.  And it can't be lost on her how happy the OG3 are since they dropped the 180-pound curly-haired gorilla from their backs.  Heck, even Meri is glowing and I never thought I would see that woman smile ever again once she divorced Kody so Robyn could have him all to herself for the sake of the kids.

 

 

 

[Kellyee]

I wonder if Kody would show up at a real therapist's office (not that Nancy woman) if Gabe asked him to. That's the only real way I can see Kody reconciling with most of his kids. Even then, it's a long shot. 

Robyn cries and cries (sort of) about her "lonely" Christmas, but says nothing about Meri spending Thanksgiving alone and sick because Kody has made things so uncomfortable for her. It's all about Robyn, all the time. And Kody's constant Robyn praise is gag-worthy. He just makes things worse between him and the other wives and kids doing that. Nobody wants to be friends with the ass-kissing teacher's pet. 

It's still hard to figure out what is actually going on. All the stories contradict each other. I would tend to believe Gabe over Kody, but I know even the kids have exaggerated things on occasion, like Maddie calling Meri a "monster". I mostly feel bad for Meri and for Robyn's isolated kids. Everyone else seems to have some source of decent support. 

The thing with the placenta was dumb time-filler, kind of like Mykelti herself. We don't need more of either.

He takes sour grapes to a new level and he's clueless about how immature it looks. I don't believe that even he can marry a woman and have her children if he didn't have feelings of affection for her in some way and I doubt that look of love in his eyes for Meri in the early days was an act. There are many different levels and forms of caring and love but it's like he wants to deny any of it. A mature person would acknowledge that and say he wasn't able to care for them in the way they deserved to be cared for so he can understand why they would want to leave.

What gets me is that he is the king of projection. He accused Janelle of treating him like a "piece of meat" when what would he be doing if he never cared for her but using her as a "piece of meat" and means to an end for having children?

What a dick. At this point, I hope she did. Now she can go find some PRIME rather than the CANNER (learned a new term!) she's used to.

A normal father yes, but this is Kody. I doubt he remembers he has a daughter named Savanah, until he lays eyes on her.

So, do we believe Meri was really sick over Thanksgiving or that Leon cancelled on her or that they never had plans to begin with?  They don't seem very close, to put it mildly.  Unfortunately, when you no longer have family, you're liable to end up spending family holidays all alone.

Leon doesn’t want to be on the show, and hasn’t been for years. When Meri has posted pictures with them the hate they receive in the comments is disgusting. So, I wouldn’t base anything on what we don’t see.

[Dibs]

Okay.  So is your theory that they DID meet for Thanksgiving, but she didn't want to say lest Leon receive hate for it?  I just found that odd.

[65mickey]

i believe that she was sick. There were nasty viral infections going around at this time. My husband got sick the night before Thanksgiving. He was very sick  and could not even go to Urgent Care. Our insurance company sent Dispatch Medic to our house the day after Thanksgiving. The upshot was that he didn't have Covid or the flu. He had a viral infection that lasted about a week. So no I do not think that Meri was making this up. People get sick this time of year.

Why do you find it odd?  Meri was sick and she probably told Leon and Audrey not to come because she did not want to expose them to whatever she had. Mothers do that.

Wasn't there also this cringe-worthy scene with Gabe where he had no idea that he was doing two years in one? (Or that he forgot which kid did that? I can't remember the exact details) 

[General Days]

I think Meri and Leon are okay, because (in the past) Gwendlyn has talked about what a great mom Meri is to Leon. I think Leon just doesn't want to be talked about on the show, and I know that when Meri has mentioned Leon on social media, it draws anti-trans bigots to her page. Nobody wants to open up their kid to that.

Meri was definitely sick. You could hear it in her voice when she recorded her video on that Thanksgiving.

I am not sure Meri's original Thanksgiving plans were with Leon, however. I don't believe she ever said the plans were with Leon.

She said she had plans to spend Thanksgiving in California, but they fell through. Although they could have all planned to travel to Cali for the holiday, as far as I know, Leon and Audrey live in Colorado. Meri might have originally had plans with friends, or other family (Meri lived in California as a little girl, until her parents converted from the LDS church to the AUB). 

We don't get my married son and his wife for every holiday. They alternate between our family and her family. There's no problem between us, when they're with my daughter-in-law's family.

I thought it was Christine who said she thought Meri had plans to spend Thanksgiving with "her kids" (I assume incl. Leon's partner), adding, of course, that she doesn't speak to Meri, because she always has to add that, being Christine.

[MaryMitch]

I was disappointed that we didn't hear more about Meri's release. I wonder how that works. Since they named the episode after it, you would think they would have included that in the episode.

The original LDS church has many practices which are secret.  It may be that the AUB offshoot is the same.  IMO, this release process may be treated as confidential as the confessional is for churches which practice it.  I just enjoyed knowing that the release was granted due to Kody's abandonment of Meri . . . and that it pissed him off to hear that.

Watching this as background noise.   I think Tony is the new Caleb as far as Kody is concerned.  I like Caleb, Tony not so much.   
 

also, not into eating placenta. Our last child is 36 so I won’t have the opportunity to refuse to do it, but I will ask my daughter who just had her second.  
 

when Kody says loyalty, I translate it to obedience plus no questioning

What does Kody think Robyn has sacrificed for the family ???( I can’t remember if it was in the episode itself or bonus content ). Cause it wasn’t time with him.  Or space   Or resources

I agree, I wouldn't put too much stock into Thanksgiving plans. I try to avoid traveling for Thanksgiving and even if I did, it doesn't make sense for me to spend two days traveling just to spend two days with family for a single meal. And I adore my mom. Not everyone cares about Thanksgiving or other so-called "traditional" holidays. Maybe Meri cared for awhile, but after she got relegated to "only make the rice krispies turkey" status, maybe she stopped caring. And we have no idea what Leon thinks.

In his head he almost !!! DIED !!!   and his family should have fallen apart at the very idea of being without him. He wasn’t admitted to the hospital and had enough energy to drive around and record his idiotic thoughts. I think he cannot wrap his head around the fact that his family coped and carried on , particularly after they learned he wasn’t deathly ill.
Kody has incorporated his brush with COVID into his bizarre view of himself as a poor hard-done-by man completely let down by his non-Robyn family and refuses to take any responsibility for the fractured relationships with his children.

It sounds like the church elders called him and chewed him out, whi h as we all know would really TRIGGER him because being held accountable for his horrible treatment of his OG wives and children would be something someone like him cannot handle. Because it's never him, it's always someone else's fault. Not a fan of the AUB in any way, but kudos to them for calling him and taking him to task.

This is what's so freaking hilarious about Kody telling Mykelti and Tony that he and Robyn were looking at buying an even BIGGER house than the Mansion on the Hill so M & T and their kids could move in with Kody and Robyn.  LOL - whut?  Kody bloviates about how, in his current house, he'd have to shuffle his kids around in order to fit in any more people, so therefore he wants to buy something bigger.

First of all, there is such a thing as siblings sharing rooms.  I know - it's shocking!  But it does happen!  I had to do it myself, even - and I survived! 

Second, based on the rules Kody forms in his own warped pea-brain, shouldn't Aurora and Brianna be kicked to the curb by now?  I thought once a Brown kid turned 18 they were shoved out the door?  Think of the room he'd have then!

Also, he could purchase a mansion the size of an airplane hangar and still not have enough room for anyone not from the SADKRAB family.  Because then Robyn would take a room just for her closet, one for her extra tchotchkes, and possibly a room dedicated just to vitamins.  Maybe even an art museum room.  Aurora and Brianna would each need their own recording studio because according to Kody, his house is filled with joyous music when they aren't sitting around awkwardly pretending to play Jenga.  Kody would need a room for his - those things he sells that no one talks about - and certainly he'd need his own Kardashian-level salon where he could curly-girl his hair in privacy.  So the bigger the house, the more crap he could fill it with and there still wouldn't be room for Truely to place a sleeping bag, let alone Mykelti, Tony, and their kids.

And why is he STILL talking about having a house that "everyone can come back to?"  Everyone who?  The only "everyones" he's got left are the ones already in his house - the rest aren't coming back!  I know he's nuts but continuing to pretend that his kids are all going to come back to gather at his knee and partake of his wisdom when he refuses to speak to them is delusional.

I know, I thought the same thing. Delusions of grandeur!

He can't imagine how they're not all going to "see the error of their ways" and come crawling back apologizing even after he's rejected and alienated and them irreparably!
