About this episode
As his fourth wedding day nears, Kody's other wives help Robyn choose her dress, cake and venue, and Kody plans a special trip for his daughter Janelle's birthday. In this week’s episode, it’s all about performance, power, and pastries. We watch the family “vote” on a wedding cake in a process that’s allegedly democratic, except for the part where Kody lobbies for his choice and gets it. Robyn keeps her dress a “secret” until Kody blows it, showing us how small breaches in trust can sting just as much as the big ones. Christine swats Kody away from her chocolate cake (a.k.a. the perfect metaphor for resource scarcity in plural marriage), then calls him an idiot—reminding me of how women’s justified anger is so often reframed as the problem in couples therapy. We’ve also got Kody dancing during the cake tasting, Robyn strutting in dresses she has no intention of buying, and the ever-present question: how is the camera influencing their behavior and emotional expression?
