FIRST LOOK!! Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 3 – COYOTE PASS DIVIDE Not Equal
Get ready, Sister Wives fans — the Coyote Pass saga that has haunted viewers for several seasons is finally boiling over in Season 20, Episode 3. The long-promised land that once symbolized the Brown family’s dream of unity is now at the center of an explosive divide that’s anything but equal. While many fans hoped the property drama would finally reach a fair and peaceful resolution, what’s unfolding is yet another heartbreaking reminder of how fractured this once tight-knit family has become.
This episode dives deep into the “equal divide” of Coyote Pass, and let’s just say — equal is the last word anyone would use to describe it. The big question on everyone’s mind: if Kody and Robyn are still legally married, why are both of them getting separate shares of the land? Shouldn’t their portion be one and the same? The math doesn’t add up, and fans are furious. Viewers and online communities, especially on Reddit, are already lighting up with debates, many insisting that the land should’ve been split in thirds — one share each for Janelle, Meri, and Kody-and-Robyn together.
Longtime fans are quick to point out how unfair it seems that Kody and Robyn, as one financial unit, are being granted double the portion of the other women. After all, Robyn’s finances have always been deeply intertwined with Kody’s, and their track record of shared money matters is anything but clean. The resentment is real, especially when remembering that years ago, Janelle and Meri’s financial sacrifices helped pay off Robyn’s debts and even funded the down payment for the million-dollar home where Kody and Robyn now live exclusively.
The episode exposes some ugly financial truths, with Janelle’s confession about cashing out her 401k to pay off Robyn’s $32,000 credit card debt resurfacing as a painful reminder of how much she gave up. Many fans argue that while Robyn benefited immensely from the family’s communal funds, she’s contributed little to nothing toward Coyote Pass. That frustration boils over when it’s revealed that Kody closed out the Brown Family LLC account and allegedly took the remaining funds for himself — an act that, if true, may not just be selfish, but possibly illegal.
Online discussions captured in the episode echo what fans have been shouting for years: that the so-called “equal” division only reinforces Kody and Robyn’s favoritism and financial manipulation. Many believe Christine, Janelle, and Meri deserved more than just equal portions — they deserved compensation for decades of unpaid emotional labor, financial sacrifices, and loyalty to a vision of plural marriage that no longer exists.
Janelle’s scenes in this episode are particularly raw. She revisits the pain of living in a trailer while Kody and Robyn enjoyed luxury living in their Flagstaff mansion — a home bought with funds that once belonged to all of them. As she reflects on the decisions that led her there, viewers can feel both her frustration and her strength. “I made those choices,” she admits, “but I believed we were building something together.” The heartbreak in her tone mirrors what millions of viewers feel watching her story unfold.
Meri’s role in this financial storm is just as complex. Though she, too, contributed to the family’s shared assets, she’s been living a lonely existence, maintaining her bed-and-breakfast and trying to rebuild her life. Yet the irony isn’t lost on fans — she lives alone in a massive house, while Janelle once struggled to make ends meet. The emotional contradictions here are striking, reminding us that every wife in this family has both benefitted from and been burned by the Brown financial system.
And then there’s Robyn — who continues to paint herself as the victim of chaos she arguably helped create. She insists that the land won’t be sold “until it’s fair and equal,” yet her definition of fairness seems to conveniently favor her own household. Viewers can’t help but roll their eyes as she talks about equality while living comfortably in a mansion largely paid for by her former sister wives. The hypocrisy is palpable.
Even with all the chaos, there are moments of reflection. Some fans point out that Janelle and Meri made their own choices — no one forced them to invest their money in Kody and Robyn’s ventures. Still, the episode poses a haunting question: does taking accountability for bad decisions erase the exploitation that followed? Or should Kody, as the patriarch and primary beneficiary, be held responsible for the imbalance he created?
As the episode continues, fans will see more cracks form in the already fragile relationship between Kody and his ex-wives. His dismissive attitude toward their sacrifices only fuels the anger of viewers who have watched him prioritize Robyn for years. When Kody justifies his actions by claiming “it’s what’s best for the family,” even longtime defenders struggle to take his side.
Tensions rise even higher when the topic of alimony and child support comes up. Though none of the women received legal compensation after leaving the plural marriage, the emotional and financial debts linger. Some fans argue that since Kody and Robyn now have two incomes and still profit from the show, they should compensate the others for their lost investments. Others believe that all the wives, now reality TV celebrities in their own right, have achieved enough success to move on.
Yet beneath all the bitterness, one truth remains clear — Coyote Pass was never just land. It was supposed to symbolize family unity, shared dreams, and the future they were building together. Now, it stands as a reminder of betrayal, imbalance, and a love that was never truly equal.
By the end of the episode, fans are left wondering: will anyone ever truly get closure from Coyote Pass? Will Kody finally take accountability, or will this “divide” mark the official end of the Brown family legacy? As one viewer perfectly summed up online, “Coyote Pass isn’t about property — it’s about fairness. And in this family, fairness never existed.”
