Christine, 51, who was the first to leave, confirmed hersplitfrom Kody in November 2021 after 25 years of marriage. She’s now engaged toDavid Woolley.
Kody admits that things are pretty grim. “I’m in this bad place with Janelle, and Christine’s gone,” he says. “Don’t even know what to do with Meri.”
Meritells Kody that she doesn’t want him to think she’s “walking away” and that she still has “hope” for their relationship. However, he says he wonders why she even still lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Meanwhile, Janelle says she’s “growing” and yearning for something “different” in her life. “I don’t wanna be married anymore,” she admits. Later in the trailer, she and Kody get into a heated argument and he questions what partnership they even have anymore.
“This is not only me, Kody,” Janelle responds. “Don’t you dare point your finger at me!”
“I wanted to sit on a porch with my sister wives!” she sobs.
Kody expresses frustration with all the fighting. “I worked so hard to do what was right,” he insists. “And when you lose that, well, I should just be the devil I think I am now.”
At the end of the trailer, he storms out after Janelle tells him to “shut your f——” mouth so she can talk to him. She attempts to grab Kody to prevent him from leaving, but he says he’s “done listening to her,” angrily slamming the door behind him.
“Okay, so we’re done?!” Janelle says. “F— you!”

Meri recentlyopened upabout learning how to trust herself after her separation from Kody. At the time, she posted aTikTokencouraging her followers to trust themselves and pay attention to their own intuition.
“I am thinking a little bit about trust. You’ve heard that quote, right? Trust is transparency and consistency over time,” she reflected last month. “And that’s well and good when you are thinking about the trust that you are trying to build with others or that you want others to build with you. But what about the trust that you have for yourself? I think all too often.”
