Robyn Brown claimed in the latest Sister Wives episode that sorcery isn’t part of her arsenal when it comes to dealing with husband Kody Brown — despite what his ex-wives think.
“I always felt like your life centered so much around Robyn’s house,” Janelle Brown told Kody, 55, during the Sunday, November 3, episode of Sister Wives, while discussing the end of their marriage.
Kody acknowledged that Robyn, 43, and her home have been a place where “things were safe” over the past two years. (Kody split from his third wife, Christine Brown, in November 2021, and breakups with Janelle and first wife Meri Brown followed in December 2022 and January 2023, respectively.)
Janelle, 55, argued on the episode that Robyn’s house was always his favorite spot, which left her feeling like she “wasn’t as important.”

Robyn, who married Kody in 2014, denied that she got any special treatment from Kody. “I feel like anytime Kody makes a choice and they don’t like it, I get blamed,” she told the cameras. “There’s this new concept that I have Kody just wrapped around my little finger and I’m doing evil spells on him, and [it’s] ridiculous.”
Robyn is the only one of Kody’s wives still in a relationship with him, but she claimed it’s not because she has power over him. “If you know Kody Brown, you know he’s not to be controlled,” she quipped.
When Janelle expressed her frustration over Kody allegedly having a “favorite” wife in Robyn, he shut down the conversation.

“This happens every time the kids talk to him about Robyn, or I talk to him. It’s like he just doesn’t want to go there,” Janelle claimed in a confessional. “That’s his sacred cow. She’s perfect. Don’t dare talk about her!”
Janelle added that she doesn’t understand how Kody expected to be in a plural marriage with anyone else if he had “this person that you worship” over everyone. “That’s part of being a husband in a plural marriage,” she argued. “You have to be able to hear everybody equally.”
Throughout the season, fans have witnessed Kody coming to terms with his breakup from Meri, 53, and accepting Christine’s choice to move on with now-husband David Woolley. However, on this week’s episode, Kody appeared to still be surprised that he and Janelle hadn’t made amends.
“Janelle and I talking about reconciliation is a bull— pipe dream from both of us,” Kody revealed, explaining that he would reconcile to “be back in [good] graces with my children.” (Kody and Janelle welcomed six children during their marriage. Their son Garrison died in May at the age of 25.)
Kody confessed that he knows reconciling with Janelle would “require some kind of power game where I gave her all the power in the relationship, which I think is fair because I had it for so many years, but I’m not interested in that.”

Janelle, meanwhile, said that Kody “wants a wife that acts differently” than she does, so she knows it’s over.
Kody alleged, “Janelle has a card. It says victim on it. She likes to play it.” Janelle argued that she’s simply “trying to speak up and abdicate and protect” herself and resents being “labeled as something negative.”
When asked directly by Kody about their future, Janelle replied, “I don’t think we even exist in the same universe anymore.”
She revealed that when they talk she feels “this little hook” that draws her back to him, but noted, “I’ve been so happy that I don’t foresee a long-term thing for us.”
Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
