The Brown family started Sister Wives with the intention of showing how well polygamy worked. At least, that’s what they said in the series opener. As the years passed and their family grew, it became obvious to fans of the show that the Browns were not the happy, functioning family they claimed. If anything, they proved their hypothesis wrong. Polygamy certainly didn’t seem to work for them. Jealous, in-fighting, and unbalanced power dynamics ultimately dissolved the plural family. In the show’s most recent episode, it seems pretty apparent that Meri Brown, Kody Brown’s first wife, is still dealing with jealousy, especially regarding Kody’s reaction to Christine Brown, his third wife, leaving him.

Meri Brown is still having a hard time accepting that her marriage to Kody Brown is over. Kody has made himself abundantly clear that he has no desire to make his marriage to Meri work ever again. Finally, the small business owner seems to be getting that it’s over. Feelings of jealousy, however, are bubbling up now.
