TEASER! Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 11 – Kody in North Carolina + Meri with Strippers
Season 20 of Sister Wives has already shown us more wine glasses clinking and more cocktail-fueled outings than any season before it. Every episode seems packed with bar visits, drink-heavy gatherings, and long nights full of “processing feelings” over whatever alcoholic beverage is within reach. It’s hard not to notice it. Fans are joking that this is basically the “Sister Wives Happy Hour Tour,” and honestly… they’re not wrong.
But beneath all the cocktails, confessions, and chaos, Episode 11 is gearing up to be one of the most explosive chapters of the season. Welcome to what many are calling The Apology Tour—though not everyone is interested in apologies, and not every apology is pointed in the right direction.
And yes… grab your drink of choice, because this one is wild.
MERI’S VEGAS ADVENTURE TAKES A STRIPPER TURN (???)
Meri, hoping to restart her stalled love life, signs up for a “dating experience” in Las Vegas. But this isn’t your typical speed-dating or matchmaking mixer. Meri quickly starts to worry when she and a friend realize the organizers might have connections to adult entertainment.
That’s right—Meri and her friend begin questioning whether strippers may actually be part of the event.
Meri, who is simply looking to meet someone genuine—someone she can talk to, maybe date, and not necessarily marry tomorrow—has zero interest in exotic dancers showing up in the middle of her romantic reset. She wants connection, not confusion. And she definitely did not sign up for dollar bills and lap dances.
What Meri does seem open to, however, is letting herself experience something new. She’s been talking to Ron, the guy she met during the earlier speed-dating event. She insists the door with Ron isn’t closed, but this new Vegas event feels like a big question mark. Could it lead her toward a soulmate? Or simply toward more chaos?
Right now, Meri isn’t chasing a fairytale. She just wants someone who will show up for her. Someone consistent. Someone real—even if the relationship isn’t forever. Still, the looming possibility of strippers is not exactly helping her calm her nerves.
CHRISTINE PUTS HER FOOT DOWN — AGAIN
On the other side of the family drama, Christine finds out that Kody has reached out to Janelle. And Christine makes herself 100% clear: she never wants to speak to Kody again. Period.
Fans know Christine was the first wife to walk away after realizing she could no longer tolerate Kody’s behavior—especially when it came to prioritizing his children. She didn’t mince her words then, and she’s not mincing them now. Christine openly said she left because Kody failed her children. That was her breaking point.
And let’s put some respect on Christine’s name:
While viewers love that Janelle eventually adopted a similar stance, Christine was the FIRST one to say out loud that she chose her kids over the marriage. She deserves more praise for that than she sometimes gets.
Christine doesn’t want an apology from Kody because she doesn’t believe an apology will fix anything. And honestly? She’s right. Kody’s treatment of her at the end of their marriage was painfully dismissive. Her final straw—when he refused to accompany their daughter for a medical surgery and told Christine to postpone it for months to fit his schedule—still shocks fans to this day.
She’s done. Really done. And no “olive branch” is going to change that.
KODY TRAVELS TO NORTH CAROLINA — BUT WHY?
Kody decides to travel to Raleigh, North Carolina, claiming he’s going there to offer Janelle “an olive branch.” Janelle, of course, has no idea what that even means coming from him. And honestly? Same.
She certainly isn’t going to rekindle a marriage with the man who shredded their family with COVID rules that never seemed to apply evenly. The wounds from that time run deep. Her sons, especially Garrison, suffered emotionally as the family darkened under the weight of distance, control, and resentment.
Janelle has quietly carried guilt and heartbreak for how everything fell apart. But she also recognizes that the damage wasn’t something she caused—and it wasn’t something she could fix alone.
Now, Janelle has decided she wants a spiritual divorce from Kody as well. She doesn’t plan on spending eternity with him. She doesn’t plan on partnering with him. She doesn’t even want a symbolic religious tie linking them anymore.
And here’s the kicker:
Kody actually confirmed in a recent interview that Janelle DID receive her spiritual divorce.
She is now free—spiritually, legally, emotionally, and mentally.
WHY DID NO ONE MAKE HIM APOLOGIZE TO THE KIDS?
One of the biggest questions exploding online is this:
Why didn’t any of these wives demand that Kody apologize to his own children?
Janelle doesn’t need him. Christine doesn’t need him. Meri doesn’t need him. But the kids—THE KIDS—are the ones who will forever be connected to him.
Fans are baffled that no one insisted he fix the relationships with his sons and daughters. Those kids didn’t ask for polygamy. They didn’t ask for separation. They didn’t ask for the chaos. They simply watched their father drift further away while the adults around them tried to keep the peace.
This is why so many viewers feel the show’s direction right now makes zero sense. It feels like everyone is just going along with whatever storyline the cameras want to follow, even when the emotional logic isn’t there anymore.
But one thing is becoming clearer with each episode:
The family damage is deeper than anyone wanted to admit.
THE TRUTH ABOUT JANELLE’S “NEW FRIENDS”
Another interesting detail rising to the surface involves Janelle’s so-called “new friends” who have been appearing throughout this season. Some fans insisted these women aren’t new. Others argued they’d seen them before.
But here’s the real tea.
One woman in particular—the one wearing the cap, who is often seen chatting with Janelle—is actually Janelle’s manager.
But wait. It gets better.
She’s not only Janelle’s manager.
She manages Janelle, Christine… AND Kody.
Let that sink in for a moment.
This woman, who appears on the show as a close confidante encouraging Janelle through her emotional battles, is the same person running professional operations for both Christine and Kody. She’s promoting Christine’s book signing. She’s supporting Kody’s media appearances. She’s earning income from all of them.
And yet, the show presents her as Janelle’s friendly new social support.
Fans with sharp eyes aren’t buying it. Not even a little.
This manager recently posted a video promoting Christine’s book event. Right before that, she posted about Kody, praising his “authenticity” and “raw honesty.” Meanwhile, she’s sitting in scenes advising Janelle about her ex-husband.
Authenticity?
Fans are starting to question that.
Because if she’s the manager for most of the Brown family, how genuine can this “friendship” storyline really be?
THE TEA, THE SHADE, AND THE SILENCING
Some content creators covering Sister Wives have said they feel pushed out by fan pages and groups because they reveal uncomfortable truths—like this connection between the manager and the cast. They claim their videos are suppressed, their posts are blocked, and their reach is limited.
But whether silenced or not, the truth is still spreading:
Family drama on-screen is one thing.
Business relationships behind the scenes are another.
And in Season 20, those two worlds are starting to collide.
