As the relationship between Kody and Janelle grows worse, let’s take a closer look at the chaos that exists within the Brown family. There are new rituals and practices that Kody isn’t thrilled about. Tensions between Kody Brown and Janelle Brown are growing in “Don’t Put All Your Eggs In One Basket,” the tenth episode of Sister Wives’ eighteenth season. The past year has been very tense in the family, particularly since Christine Brown and Kody parted ways. Janelle, Meri, and Robyn Brown, Kody’s previous spouses, have also been impacted by this.
The episode delves into significant family events, including Easter, Passover, and the ensuing drama.
Easter celebrations defying Kody’s rules
Janelle and Christine had previously followed Kody’s Easter regulations, but they decided to take matters into their own hands. The Brown family usually observed Easter, a Christian event, by focusing on the resurrection, which is more in line with the principles of Passover.
But Christine and Janelle didn’t celebrate Easter, so they decided to honor the holiday by planning an egg hunt and having dinner together. Notably, Kody was left out of the festivities, emphasizing his vehement objections to it.
Kody’s alteration of Easter traditions
The episode also shows how Kody modified the Brown family’s Easter traditions to accommodate Robyn’s preferences when she joined the family. Although Robyn recognized that the Browns didn’t traditionally celebrate Easter, Kody assured her they could adjust their traditions to suit her needs. This change introduced an Easter-Passover hybrid holiday, allowing Robyn and her children to celebrate the holiday as they wished.
Kody’s acceptance of a different family dynamic
Amidst the ongoing drama between Kody, Janelle, and Christine, Kody’s relationships with two-thirds of his children have been strained. Even though Kody’s older children have their own perspectives, it has been challenging for them to witness how their mothers’ relationships with Kody have been less than ideal. For his part, Kody expressed his willingness to accept having only Robyn and her children as his family, though he acknowledged that it wasn’t his ideal scenario.
Sister Wives Season 18 offers a window into the intricate dynamics of the Brown family. The episode exposes the deepening fractures within their relationships and the uncertainties about their collective future.
