Sister Wives season premiere episode of the 19th season has been anxiously anticipated by fans for nearly a year.
A lot has happened since we last saw the Brown family graced our TVs. Relationships have fallen apart. New babies were born.
Yet unfortunately, the biggest story to make headlines since the last time the show was on the air was the death of Garrison Brown, one of Janelle and Kody’s older sons.
Obviously, the big question for fans after his passing was how the show would handle such a delicate subject. Would they show footage of the family grieving? Would the cameras roll on the funeral.

‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 Premiere Recap: A House Divided Cannot Stand

“This was our dream as a family,” he says to Robyn. “But we’re not one big happy family anymore. We’re just people who own property.”
But Robyn’s clinging to hope. She says she hopes for “healing,” particularly with Janelle, as the Meri split is too fresh and Christine refuses to talk to Kody.
As the episode continues, it’s clear that being the last woman standing at Kody’s side is taking a toll on Robyn.
“We’re probably doing the worst we’ve ever been doing in our marriage. It’s been tough,” Robyn explains, after Kody admits they are struggling.
