Back to Utah, YAY!! The kids go hiking and at Logan’s suggestion, they will have a picnic at the lake! As they walk through the wilderness of Utah, Madison explains that Kody has always told them that they can choose to be poly or not. Mariah still insists she will be in a plural marriage someday, but that being a plural wife will not hinder her dreams to become a doctor. No matter what you make think of the Browns, they have done a great job with their kids and continue to be supportive; Mariah and Madison’s statements here reflect that.
To the picnic! Apparently it was freezing outside and no one but Logan wanted to have a picnic. Hunter whines over and over that it is a bad idea and Madison and MAriah chime in here and there. Logan is clearly over it and he DROPS AN F-BOMB! HE tells them to have a glass of man the fuck up. HAHAHA I LOVE IT. His words get him the shock factor he was likely going for.
“I wouldn’t have to drop f-bombs if y’all would stop being a bunch of bitches. BOOM! How do you like me NOW, son?”
Janelle says that Logan has been experimenting with foul language lately, but she’s not worried. She’s not harping on him for it because she knows it is not part of his character and it will pass. She also knows he’s pretty burnt out on Hunter’s negative attitude. MOTHER OF THE YEAR! Logan is acting out, which is normal for teens, and the way he is going about isn’t really harming anyone, and they are SO DAMN LUCKY to have a son as awesome as Logan. If saying “fuck” is the worst thing he ever does, that’s amazing. Fucking amazing.
Hunter is incredibly self-righteous about the incident and lectures Logan, telling him that if Kody were there, he’d say the same things. Logan’s response? “Dad would say a lot of things.” Logan? I love you. If you ever visit my neck of the woods, I will take you out for a milkshake and pick your brain about everything Janelle did right as a mom in the hopes my future children are as well adjusted as you.
Christine is not as relaxed about fuck-gate. She knows that the kids hear foul language from their peers at school and it doesn’t really bother her. She also understand Logan getting after his brothers, but she thinks that he should inspire them, not drop f-bombs on them. Two things:
one, I love that Christine said “f-bombs” and two, that’s a fuckload of pressure to put on Logan. This kid has been put in the position of being Dad junior and he handles it brilliantly and if he’s ever complained about it, they haven’t included it in the show. Kody taught Logan that his premiere responsibility is to be a gentleman, and Logan has clearly taken this to heart. Let the kid say fuck once in a while. JEEZ.
Logan explains that Mariah holds herself to a higher standard of language than the rest of them do. Apparently Hunter doesn’t swear often and instead he says that cursing shows a lack of intelligence. Well, that explains Logan’s swearing to me. He’s doing it to push his sibling’s buttons.
The show goes out on a sad note. The teens are visiting their house in UTah for the first time since they moved. Guess what! The house is HAUNTED!
Haunted by children and red balloons woooooooooo!
All four of the teens are clearly struggling as they examine the house. According to Logan, they held onto the idea that they would go back to their home in Utah within a few months of arriving to Vegas for a long time. They’ve had to accept that’s not true. Meri says that the big house was so much easier because they had immediate access to each other.
Mariah, who has a bit of people pleaser in her, maintains that she doesn’t regret the fact that they have moved to Vegas or anything that has happened since then. She’s just sad. As she talks, Madison wipes away tears. Speaking of Madison, she is turning into quite a beautiful young lady:
and she looks JUST LIKE Janelle

GAAAGH! The sentence that starts “Kody’s favorite thing about My Sister Wife’s Closet” is supposed to have strikethrough font where is says “is that it was Robyn’s idea.” Teachable moment – don’t proofread in a hurry.
Carry on
Actually, LB – I thought the part about everyone being really excited about it was what was supposed to have the strikethrough. Ha!
So, if this is how Christine reacts when the kid *says* “fuck”, will her head explode when he stops saying it and starts doing it? Actually, I think that Logan probably wouldn’t do anything that would disappoint his parents, but those two brothers that started kicking each other’s ass – you know the girls will fall all over the tough guys and they’ll be able to get a little sumthin’ sumthin’.
And did we only see Janelle’s Utah house? What about the other sides? Who lives there now? Do they still own it? Now that THE MAN isn’t out to get them just for that and they can’t seem to find 4 empty plots together in the middle of the friggin’ desert, will they move back? I need answers, yo!
One other thing – how is Robin handling the bulk of this episode not being about her? I hope she hasn’t taken to her room and has become dehydrated from all the tears she shed.
@chickenlips…Not possible. She keeps LIV products by her bed, in her purse, diaper bag, & her lady parts, so since it helped Truly stop throwing up because she was always dehydrated, she has a good chance of survival.
@Fancyface – Oh my sugar, I can’t believe I forgot about LIV. How could I be so dumb?! LIV keeps you hydrated and removes the sting when the attention isn’t on you constantly. Boy, I wish I could get myself some LIV. Think the Family Brown might be able to hook a sista up? =)
I’ve got a theory that a lot of networks have been trying to decide if “fuck” is enough like “butt” and “boobs” yet to quit beeping it out. Because this week between getting featured on this show and The Bachelorette you can find a lot of people talking about it.
And just like you’d expect it’s mostly older religious people that even notice it anymore. Plus it’s gotten so international that you can say
“that fucker was so fucked it wouldn’t fucking do fuck till those fuckers spent all fucking night fucking around with it and now it’s like fucking new so for fuck’s sake get the fuck away from it and don’t fuck it up again”
and everybody in the world will understand it. Even if English isn’t on even their little bit list.
Kthxy, I really do wish that you would watch your language. I mean REALLY. I simply cannot tell you exactly how fucking offended I am.
Hmmmmmmph.
My grandpa would swear in German and it sounded so much better than in English. And merde has such a lovely ring to it. Scheiss sounds like a skiing term.
It won’t be long before fuck will be as accepted as damn or hell.
Unless a language police takes over if we become too conservative.
As a battle-scarred veteran of teen acting out, I am so impressed with the Brownlets. They are such amazing kids, and I am sure they aren’t following a script. It’s just too natural.
Think I’ll go shopping for a couple of sister wives.
It appeared that the Utah house is still in the family – I believe one of Meri’s sister’s owns it now if I recall the captions correctly.
I LOVE Janelle! Her parenting skills are awesome. I think she needs her own show – imagine Janelle teaching Teresa Guidice how to control Milania. I would pay to see that!
I agree….. I want answers too. Plus, I can’t believe that they cant find them a builder for one big house. Maybe the wives don’t want it anymore.
Ooh @Closet fan good point. I had wondered the same thing but never considered they don’t WANNA. Now that I think about it the wives have all mentioned (this or maybe last season) they thoroughly enjoy their OWN homes.
Awesome recap, BTW!!!
I kinda pride myself on my parentingskills– but I would so send both of my teenage boys to janelle-land if it meant they’d turn out like her kids. Even hunter,who struggled so much with the move, seems like he’s going to be okay. This show wouldtotally be watchable were it not for k-douche. I’m even sor of starting to like Robyn.
LB PLEASE hurry with last night’s recap (6/17). Meri said something awesome and I want to see if you caught it!
