Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 14: You are Toxic to Me

Kody finishes his apology tour meeting Meri in Cedar City. This may be the toughest apology of all. Janelle travels to Salt Lake City to seek a spiritual release from her marriage to Kody. Christine explains the concept of a "basement wife" to David.

For their apology tour conversation, Meri and Kody each use their rehearsed lines, but Kody's fall flat. There are only so many times he can say 'I apologize' and 'Nothing but goodwill' before it loses its meaning. Janelle is dipping her toes in deconstructing her religion. We learn that Christine and David survey their unfinished basement, spurring a conversation about what it means to be the symbolic basement wife, specifically when you choose to live in the literal basement. And Robyn lies about not discussing the other marriages with Kody all those years. Throughout this episode, I imagine what it would be like to do couples therapy with Kody and Meri, and my goodness, what a nightmare.
