Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 5 focused on Meri Brown getting a present for Kody in order to move past that whole catfish cataclysm.
Picking up where last week – really the previous four weeks – left off, Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 5 addressed Meri’s epic scandal.
As she works repair the broken trust caused by her catfishing scandal, she creates artwork for each of the wives to represent the family.
Both the polygamous family collectively, and each individual family.
She notes that Robyn and Kody’s painting features palm trees and a rising sun to show the fact that they are in the "sunrise" of their relationship.
It’s a nice sentiment, but … where do we even begin with all this.
When you watch Sister Wives online, you know that the romance of Meri and Kody is nonexistent; they’re no longer at the start of anything.
The fact that Meri Brown was catfished by a woman pretending to be a man doesn’t even seem to bother Kody all that much on merit.
If anything, he just seems confused as to why she’d be lonely.
This after Meri gave him a legal divorce so he could marry Robyn too. Guy seems so utterly clueless it’s getting to be a little ridiculous.
Apology trees are one thing, healing relationships are another.
Even Meri knows this deep down. "I broke trust with a lot of people just because I handled things so poorly," she says to the cameras.
She wants everyone to know she is still here, however, and is there to stay, no matter what insecurities she has or what she’s done.
The kids are a big factor, of course. Maybe the only factor.
And yet, when Meri asks Robyn if she can bring Solomon with her on a trip to see Mariah, only to be denied, this proves telling as well.
Yes, Meri loves all of the children as if they were hers, but at the end of the day, they are the biological offspring of Kody and others.
The simplest reality can be the hardest to swallow.
