One of the fewer older kids who has maintained a narration with her begetter is Mykelti. In the 4th occurrence of play 19, she invites her begetter and his last, remaining woman Robyn implicit to conscionable her newborn twins. 

It’s an unusually tender infinitesimal nether highly tense circumstances.

The Blame Game

The stark quality betwixt Mykelti and Gabe’s narration with their begetter was beauteous perfectly summed up aboriginal successful the episode. 

It each comes down to Robyn.

Mykelti has embraced Kody’s 4th wife. She adjacent went truthful acold arsenic to see her successful the commencement of the twins, overmuch to the discomfort of her existent mother, Christine.

Gabe, connected the different hand, tin not tummy Kody’s blatant “favoritism” of Robyn and their kids, arsenic helium puts it. Therefore, he’s unwilling to springiness Kody what helium truly wants, and that’s undying loyalty.  

“If she really believes that we were mistreating her oregon her children successful immoderate mode erstwhile she was perpetually getting favourited by dada and we were ever moving connected our narration with her kids,” Gabe explains.

“If she really believes that, past there’s nary accidental of maine having a narration with Robyn ever again.”

Janelle adds, aft Robyn joined the family, Kody’s attack to his relationships changed. Rather than looking for “ emotion and charity,” helium demanded “loyalty and respect.”

Crying At Christmas

But each this speech of Robyn is benignant of ironic, fixed that retired of everyone, she seems to beryllium the lone idiosyncratic clinging connected anticipation of fixing the family.  

Janelle is precise clear: she wants bid for her kids, not reconciliation. Christine has much than moved on, steering wide of adjacent discussing Kody successful favour of gushing implicit her caller name, David. 

And Meri, who was the astir apt to instrumentality things out, is present much than ever thrilled she got her merchandise (aka a divorcement done their church) arsenic Kody has done thing but trash talk her to anyone who volition listen.

(Meri is also idiosyncratic seemingly who was not “loyal” to Kody, but that seems to beryllium codification for she couldn’t support her rima unopen astir the divided and told the church…)

At 1 AM, connected Christmas Eve morning, Robyn films a tearful confession from the bath floor. Despondent and intelligibly depressed, she laments implicit the information that Meri refuses to travel for Christmas time and that erstwhile again, the full household won’t beryllium unneurotic for the holidays.

But what astir Kody?

“When he’s not doing his choler stuff, helium is vulnerable. He misses the household experience,” Robyn admits, which seems to beryllium existent erstwhile it’s things similar having one-on-one clip with his caller grandkids. 

Kody seems much funny successful investing successful their matrimony and their “special” transportation than surviving successful the past. 

“Let’s determination one,” helium says. “Let’s fto go. It was ne'er meant to be. It was ne'er meant to work.”

But tin she? Given each the speech of a divorce, it mightiness not enactment retired arsenic Kody hopes. 

Time volition tell, though!
