14-year-old Aspyn, Christine's oldest biological daughter, decides to go with Kody to the hospital to watch the labor. At one point, Kody stops home and, before returning to the hospital, tries to kiss Robyn off-camera when the cameras nevertheless capture the moment, Kody admits he did not want to be seen kissing his fiancée while his wife was in labor. Robyn takes care of Christine's younger children while she is at the hospital. Although polygamists often give birth at home in the family unit, Christine suffered a miscarriage the previous year and does not want to risk it again. The hospital staff are very accepting of polygamists and talk casually to Kody and Christine about their family. Kody escorts third wife Christine to the hospital for a checkup, since she's slightly past her due date, and they decide to induce labor that day. The whole family helps Robyn load her belongings into the moving truck and bring her and her children to their new home. Robyn feels remorse for hurting the other wives' feelings, but expresses happiness and excitement towards joining the family. Meri experiences an emotional breakdown and talks about the difficulties of being in a polygamist marriage, and Christine grows particularly upset when she learns that Kody sealed his engagement to Robyn with a kiss, since he never kissed his other wives until they were married. Although ultimately supportive of the idea of the new union, Meri, Janelle and Christine continue to experience conflicted feelings about the change it will bring to the family. Since Kody and Robyn are only engaged, she cannot yet live in the house with the rest of his family. Robyn is moving into a new house about half a mile from the Brown home. Nevertheless, the prospect of a fourth wife requires some adjustment for the three wives, who fear being replaced as companions, as well as for their children, who have grown up with three mothers their entire lives. Meri, who had previously encouraged Kody to marry Janelle and Christine, explains that she met Robyn and encouraged Kody to court her as well. ![]() Robyn, who has three children under the age of 10, explains that although she grew up in a polygamist family, she has previously kept the lifestyle a secret until participating on Sister Wives. Robyn lives five hours away from his home, so Kody must travel far and spend a great amount of time away from the rest of his family to date her. This episode focuses on Kody's courtship of Robyn, marking the first time he has courted a woman since his third marriage 16 years earlier. The episode ends with Kody going on a date with Robyn. Although Kody is intimate with all three of his wives, they make clear that the women never sleep with each other, a concept they consider immoral. The episode also highlights the fact that Kody operates on a rotating schedule that dictates which wife he will spend the night with. The family discusses their strong spiritual faith, and the episode includes both blessings at dinner and an evening family prayer. The children attend a polygamist cooperative school, while Kody and Janelle both work full-time as Meri pursues a long-delayed college degree. Meanwhile, the wives explain they do not plan to force their children into polygamist lifestyles or arrange their marriages for them, but rather will encourage them to make their own choices. Eventually, Kody and his wives tell the children he is courting a fourth wife, Robyn, who herself already has three children. They live in a ranch-style home that, although interconnected, is subdivided into three separate apartments which give each wife her own bedroom, kitchen and living space. ![]() The one-hour premiere episode introduces viewers to Kody Brown, his three wives Meri, Janelle and Christine, and their 12 children.
