Sister Wives fans witnessed a rare moment from Robyn Brown. A simple question from producers triggered an emotional confession from her. The question: how would she react if one of Kody Brown’s former wives returned to the family?
Robyn paused and tripped over her words. Then she admitted something that raised alarms in the fandom.
“That just opened this little portal of hope,” she said, before warning that hope could be “dangerous.”
Kody kicked off his personal “apology tour” with a trip to North Carolina. This marked the first time in years he faced Janelle Brown. It was a moment that deeply affected her emotionally. The reunion forced them to face the impact of a family that once valued unity above all else.
Robyn Brown Can’t Even Imagine a Reunion
When the director asked Robyn how she’d react if a former wife returned, she looked stunned.
“What? Really?” she said, looking almost panicked. “I don’t want to even answer this.”
She said the idea made her sad because it gave her hope she didn’t want to feel.
“I can’t. I can’t. If I think about it, I’ll fall apart,” she admitted while wiping away tears.
This moment showed how shaken Robyn still is after Christine, Janelle, and Meri left Kody. She spent years saying the family could have fixed things. Yet, here she was, not even considering the idea of a reunion.
Her reaction says a lot. The past may not be as distant for her as she pretends.
Kody Brown Begins His Apology Tour
Robyn worries about possible reunions. Meanwhile, Kody Brown is working to fix the mess he made.
He traveled to North Carolina to apologize to Janelle, admitting, “I want to apologize for being so angry and so bitter over the family breakup.”
Janelle didn’t hold back. She said she didn’t even recognize the man he had become.
“I used to tell everybody, ‘This is not the guy I was married to forever,’” she said.
In her confessional, she described him as someone she barely knows now. Someone who lives a completely different life.
Her heartbreak was clear when she confessed, “I never saw this coming in a million years.”

The Collapse of the Brown Family Still Haunts Them
Janelle revealed that she mourned the family more than the marriage itself.
“We had this whole ideal of how it was going to be,” she said. “We were going to raise the kids together.”
But the dream ended as Christine left in 2021, Janelle followed in 2022, and Meri finally walked in 2023.
Coyote Pass, once supposed to be their future compound, became the stage for an icy standoff. Kody and Robyn sat in their car. Janelle and Meri sat in theirs. No one spoke.
That moment pushed Kody into “self-reflection” and sparked his apology tour. But whether apologies will repair anything is still unclear.
What Comes Next?
Fans will watch to see if Janelle accepts Kody’s apology. They’ll also see how Christine reacts when he reaches out. Plus, will Meri agree to a face-to-face talk?
As for Robyn, she made one thing clear:
“Hope is dangerous sometimes.”
Her fear of a reunion may show her insecurities more than anything else in the family.
