Overview

  • In a candid dinner conversation, Kody Brown says physical attraction would likely drive any consideration of adding a wife, a remark Robyn Brown criticizes in her confessional as “a bit of a pig.”
  • The episode frames Kody and Robyn’s relationship as monogamous for now as they weigh the risks of reentering plural marriage, including their departure from the religion that once structured it.
  • Season 20 spotlights the long-running Coyote Pass conflict, with Kody meeting his former wives to address the property and offering individual apologies.
  • Estrangement remains a central thread, with Janelle Brown previously saying Kody was alienated from most of his children and daughter Madison Brush tearfully reflecting on her strained bond with her father.
  • Context for the new season includes the 2021–2022 breakup of Kody’s marriages to Meri, Christine, and Janelle, the family’s move toward monogamy with Robyn, and reports that Coyote Pass sold for $1.5 million in April 2025.
