The final chapter of Coyote Pass turned into pure chaos, without a single person opening a car door.
In a tense moment, Kody, Robyn, Janelle, and Meri arrived at the property. This was meant to be their final meeting before the family sold the land for $1.5 million. Instead, it became a silent standoff.
Robyn sat in her car and tried to make sense of the weird silence. “Kody and I just pulled up and Meri and Janelle are sitting in their cars,” she said. “I’m like, okay, it was a message. Message was, you know, we don’t need to interact.”
The camera zoomed in on Janelle, who looked done with everything. “I don’t know what’s going on,” she said. “I just want to go home. I want to go back to my hotel, get on some sweats and watch TV or something.”
Meri peeked out of her window and joked, “Are you having a prayer? ‘Please Lord, pray for peace because I have to go see my exes.’”
Inside his own vehicle, Kody laughed. “Nobody’s getting out of their cars.” Then he switched to a confession-style clip. “We wouldn’t naturally want to meet with Meri and Janelle on Coyote Pass after all we’ve been through. Meri and I have been talking through lawyers for two or three months.”
The moment felt like the dramatic ending everyone expected. Janelle summed it up perfectly. “It’s a standoff I guess. It’s a standoff at the Coyote Pass final showdown or something.”
The land was bought in 2018 as a “forever compound” for the four wives and their 18 children. Over time, it became a symbol of the issues that strained the Browns’ plural marriage.
Sister Wives: How Coyote Pass Fell Apart
The Browns imagined side-by-side houses, shared yards and a united family. The emotional rifts between Christine, Janelle, and Meri, along with Kody’s move toward monogamy with Robyn, ruined the plan.
Christine left the marriage in late 2021. She later sold her share of Coyote Pass back to Kody for cash. Janelle and Meri publicly confirmed their own separations not long after.
After years of tension and bitter confessions, the land sold in April for $1.5 million.
What was supposed to unite the family ended up exposing every crack they tried to hide.
Sister Wives: Mykelti Claims Robyn Was “Tricked” Into Marrying Kody
The drama didn’t end at Coyote Pass. In a recent livestream, Mykelti Brown shared more gossip. She claimed that Robyn didn’t understand what she was getting into when she married Kody in 2010.
According to Mykelti, Kody ordered the wives and kids to hide the truth.
“I think when she first joined the family, we were told to present this beautiful front,” Mykelti said. “We needed to put our best foot forward, not fight, and show the beautifulness that is polygamy.”
She claimed Robyn walked in believing she was joining a functional, happy group, not a simmering mess.
“Robyn didn’t always used to be this shy,” Mykelti said. “Her shyness has developed because she’s been hardened by opinions and hardened by reality where like, her family that she thought she was marrying into isn’t what she thought it was.”
Mykelti lived with Robyn then. She said the truth was hard to hide once the cameras started.
“When she joined, it took a while for the rose-colored glasses to come off,” she said. “A couple years in, she started to notice these aren’t little problems. These are big issues.”
Still, Mykelti insisted no one meant to deceive her. “We were trying to welcome her… trying not to fight in front of her. We were trying to put our best foot forward, not deceive.”
Robyn stepped into a family that was already falling apart. Intentional or not, she became the face of that downfall.
Sister Wives: A Family That Can’t Escape Its Past
The Browns may have sold Coyote Pass, but the emotional wreckage remains. The plural marriage is gone. The relationships between Kody and his ex-wives remain strained. And according to Mykelti, even Robyn was sold an illusion.
If the standoff at Coyote Pass proved anything, it’s this: the Brown family didn’t just lose land. They lost the dream that once held them together.
Was the Coyote Pass dream doomed from the start?
