In this tense and emotional chapter of the Sister Wives story, Kody Brown’s volatile emotions finally boil over, threatening not just his already fractured relationships with his ex-wives, but also shaking the very foundation of his last remaining marriage with Robyn. In the film, Kody’s Explosive Anger Towards Exes Threatens His Marriage with Robyn!, the usually controlled patriarch reaches his breaking point, unleashing a storm of blame and fury directed at Christine, Janelle, and Meri — but the collateral damage may prove to be more than even Robyn can tolerate.
The movie opens with Kody pacing restlessly, visibly agitated. In a raw and emotional confessional, he vents his rage, saying he’s been pushed to the edge by years of “disrespect” and “betrayal” from his former wives. He slams their “false narratives” and accuses them of manipulating the children and turning them against him. “They all abandoned the family,” he says with gritted teeth. “They tore it apart, and now they act like I’m the villain?”
Kody’s anger spirals throughout the film as he confronts his past, reflecting on the breakdowns of his marriages with Christine, Janelle, and Meri. Flashbacks show moments of emotional distance, mistrust, and growing frustration between Kody and each of his former wives. The more he replays these memories, the more blame he hurls in their direction — calling them “quitters” and “saboteurs” of the family unity he tried to maintain.
But Robyn, once his most loyal and supportive partner, begins to feel the weight of his outbursts. In a quietly devastating scene, she tells producers that Kody’s bitterness is beginning to consume him — and it’s starting to affect their relationship. “He’s angry all the time,” she says tearfully. “And I’m not sure where I fit into that anger anymore.”
As Kody continues to vent, his comments grow more aggressive. He accuses Christine of “plotting” her exit for years, Janelle of undermining his authority with the children, and Meri of emotionally checking out long before their relationship ended. But what rattles Robyn the most is Kody’s refusal to acknowledge his own part in the chaos.
“You can’t build a future by setting fire to the past,” Robyn warns him in one emotionally charged confrontation. “They left, yes. But you pushed them away, too.”
The tension between them grows as Robyn tries to be a voice of reason, urging Kody to take some accountability and heal rather than lash out. However, Kody is not ready to hear it. He accuses Robyn of siding with the others and begins to shut her out emotionally, leaving her in tears.
Meanwhile, the other wives — Christine, Janelle, and Meri — react to Kody’s accusations with a mix of sorrow and strength. Christine, in particular, says she feels validated watching Kody’s spiral, explaining that this is the very behavior that made her leave. “This rage… this blaming game — it’s not new,” she says. “I just finally stopped accepting it.”
Janelle, ever level-headed, says she worries for Robyn and the toll Kody’s unchecked anger is taking on her. “He’s hurt,” she says. “But he’s not handling that hurt in a healthy way. And now, even Robyn’s starting to pay the price.”
Meri, who spent years in a lonely, limbo-like existence with Kody, also speaks up, saying his anger comes from a deep place of loss — but that doesn’t excuse how he’s treating those around him. “You can grieve the end of your dream,” she says, “but not by destroying everyone else’s peace.”
The movie reaches a critical moment when Robyn, overwhelmed and exhausted, tells Kody that if he doesn’t find a way to let go of his rage, their marriage may not survive either. “I love you,” she whispers, “but I can’t be your punching bag.”
The film ends with Kody alone in his room, surrounded by silence. The fire he aimed at his exes has now started to consume the only connection he has left. His refusal to self-reflect, and his insistence on blaming everyone else, threatens to leave him completely isolated — the patriarch without a family.
As the credits roll, viewers are left wondering: will Kody face his demons and fight for peace? Or is this the beginning of the end for the last piece of the Brown family still holding on?
