I took Tylenol over the holidays for various things

I have arthritis in my hands. I took several Tylenol (Paracetamol) over the holidays to manage pain, I wonder if she worries that my arthritis is communicable? 
 

I cannot fathom being judgy and sanctimonious about someone near me needing medication. What a bizarre way to live her life. 

SW Season 19 Episode 16 A Time to Weep, a Time to Laugh

STH- solo talking head

This episode includes footage from Christine's wedding episodes that has already aired some of the footage is new to viewers. 

Christine tells Mykelti that David is giving her (Christine) the wedding of her dreams. Christine said Kody, Robyn and Meri were not invited to the wedding. 

Kody and Robyn are wearing helmets while riding on 4-wheelers. 

Robyn in a STH said she's ridden since age 13, Kody in a STH said Robyn is a speed demon, and they got criss crossed. 

Robyn was thrown off the 4-wheeler. It was very dramatic, Kody said if Robyn had any pain they would get a life flight. Kody removes Robyn's helmet, asks her if anything is broken, and Robyn said she couldn't tell if anything was broken. (I don't ride 4 wheelers, but to me it seems they were being irresponsible and that is why they criss crossed causing Robyn to fall off the four-wheeler). Kody tells Robyn she was driving crazy, she disagrees. Robyn tells Kody her neck hurts and she'll have whiplash. Kody helps Robyn stand up, and she said she was having fun, she never gets to have fun. They get back on the four wheelers and continue riding. 

Robyn in a STH said Kody came over to her and started yelling (I did not see yelling on camera, but it may have taken the cameras a few minutes to catch up to them, it was clear the camera people ran over once Robyn fell off).  Robyn said she needed love and tenderness after being hurt. Robyn said she didn't lose consciousness, she hit her head hard and saw stars. Robyn in the STH said she doesn't disclose her wild riding to her children and doesn't want to be a bad example. 

Kody and Robyn get to the place that is great to watch the sunset. Kody tells Robyn he had planned to say something cute to her and that he loves her. Kody asked what she wanted him to say, and asks something romantic? Robyn tells him he used to say romantic things to her, and he hasn't been himself, and asks Kody if he is ok. Kody laughs and agrees he hasn't been himself in a while. Kody tells Robyn the goal of one family, one home or one cul de sac is over. Kody said he found his family was in the way of his goals because they had different goals. Robyn tells Kody that sounds bad. Kody tells Robyn after it became clear one home wasn't going to happen he decided he didn't care anymore. Robyn tells Kody he isn't the only person that changed. 

Robyn in a STH said Kody has been angry, she's the one spending time with him and getting the brunt of his anger. She said it has been difficult. Robyn said Meri, Janelle, Christine and Kody changed, but not her. Robyn said the focus was not on the main family that was local, but others focused on the children not local. 

Commercial Break

Meri made a quilt for Kody on their 10th wedding anniversary that included a bunch of their old t-shirts. Kody wants some of the shirts back, so Meri cuts the quilt up to return the pieces to Kody. Jenn and Meri discuss some of the shirts- Meri's old sleep shirt, shirts from their honeymoon, etc. 

Kody in a STH said when he and Meri married, she took over everything. He didn't anticipate another wife wanting an old tshirt or jersey of his. 

Meri in a STH said Kody came up with the idea of the quilt, and they bought shirts from their travels with the intention of incorporating them into the quilt. 

Meri tells Jenn while taking apart the quilt after they moved to Vegas that Kody told Meri she (Meri) had been terrible to him (Kody) for 20 years, and she would need to wait at least that long for him to fix the relationship with her. Jenn asks why and Meri said jokes on Kody she didn't last 20 years. Jenn tells Meri no one is perfect, and Meri agrees, and said all she could do is reflect and try to improve herself. Jenn said that's so hurtful and Meri agrees. 

Meri in a STH elaborates when they were in the rentals in Vegas Kody told Meri she's been mean and difficult to live with and now he was going to treat her that way for 20 years and she needed to put up with it. Meri said people look at her wondering why she didn't get the clue from Kody, and she said she got the clue, but she was waiting and felt it was explained by that comment. Meri acknowledges she wasn't the easiest person to live with. 

Kody in a STH said he was mad enough to tell the truth. In hindsight he sees a bunch of different times where they should have divorced, but he didn't believe in divorce. 

Meri in a STH said Kody gave her a list of things she needed to do that would make him willing to work on their marriage. 

Kody in a STH said the list was a roadmap of things Meri could address that were things that bothered him. 

Meri in a STH said she did everything Kody asked, so he chose to ignore her after that. 

Kody in a STH said their entire marriage was hard, beginning, middle and end all hard. He said he doesn't want to talk bad about Meri anymore. 

Meri in a STH said it took a while to realize what Kody thinks or feels about her is irrelevant. 

Commerical Break

David has his bachelor party the day before the wedding, and the women do a pampering session, hair and makeup trial. 

Mykelti, Aspyn, Ysabel and Truly discuss things. Mykelti said she's accepted David as her stepfather which makes Aspyn laugh/cringe. Mykelti asks Truely if she likes living with Christine and David and she said yes. Aspyn asks Truely if she is the babysitter for Christine and David, the sisters agree Truely should be the babysitter. Truely said she's an angsty teenager who spends most of her time in her room. Truely tells the sisters it was easy to accept David, he's a parent, and she's never seen her mom so happy. 

Christine in a STH said David is great with Truely, he frequently compliments her and Truely glows. 

Aspyn and Ysabel agree their mom should have someone obsessed with her, and David is. 

Christine and David have a talking head. David said they have meshed well and blended right together. 

Kody tells Robyn the two of them have a truth, and he could no longer find that with the other wives. Robyn asks not even Janelle? Kody said no, Janell's not that's intimate, he clarifies that he means emotionally. Robyn asks Kody if he can work things out with Janelle, and he responds no. 

Robyn in a STH said she thinks Janelle and Kody can work things out, Kody goes through phases of frustration and they can work it out. Robyn said she's hanging onto the idea Kody and Janelle can work things out. 

Kody tells Robyn he and Janelle aren't on the same page, and while he could assign blame to Janelle he realizes he isn't loyal to Janelle. Robyn keeps talking and Kody interrupts and said being with Janelle would just be staying together for the children. Kody tells Robyn she needs to stop pushing her agendga on him. Robyn asks why can't Kody and Janelle go to therapy? Kody acknowledges he has history with Janelle, and Robyn said you have six kids. Kody tells Robyn the love and trust with Janelle is gone. Robyn asks if he and Janelle could figure it out. Kody tells Robyn he knows what's she's trying to do again. Robyn tells Kody he's said a lot of strange things and asks him if he is bitter or rewriting the past. Kody tells Robyn he doesn't want to blame Robyn for him hanging onto Meri. Kody said he felt like he couldn't get out of things with Meri, and felt Robyn backed his conscience saying he couldn't leave. Robyn tells Kody she never said he couldn't leave. Kody tells Robyn yes, she said that. Robyn said she told Kody he needed to work it out with Meri. Kody again says to Robyn he's not blaming Robyn, but he also won't try to work things out because that's what Robyn wants. Robyn asks if Janelle is interesting on working on things and Kody responds no at all. Robyn questions that. Kody responds again not at all, and Kody said Janelle is as bad with him as he was with Meri. 

Kody in a STH said Robyn constantly encouraged his relationship with Meri, and if Robyn hadn't championed that relationship he would have probably moved on earlier.  Kody in the STH said Robyn told him to sleep on Christine's couch when Christine kicked him out, and he said no. Kody said Robyn begged him not to fight with Janelle. 

Janelle in a STH said she doesn't know what Robyn pushed Kody to do and feels it's a shame if Kody could be controlled by Robyn. Janelle said if Robyn has control over Kody good for them, they can have that in their relationship.

Meri in a STH said she knows Robyn wanted Meri's relationship with Kody to heal. Meri believes Robyn entered the Brown family with the intention to live plural marriage and doesn't think that belief of Robyn's changed. 

Kody tells Robyn what matters is what has happened and he needs Robyn to accept things the way they are. 

 Kody in a STH said he and Robyn have the right to move forward, and said everyone else has moved forward. 

Commerical Break

Christine and David's wedding venue is next to a river, so everyone needs to keep an eye on the children. Aspyn is in charge of the wedding rehearsal. David tripped on purpose and rolled on the platform where he and Christine would stand to get married. Christine enjoyed David's silliness. 

Annie (Christine's mother) talks to the camera with Ysabel and Aspyn, and said she got choked up watching Christine walk down the aisle during the rehearsal. A producer asked Annie what was she feeling. Annie chokes up and says Christine is an incredible courageous amazing person and she's excited for her. 

Robyn in a STH said she feels powerless with the conversation with Kody and feels her dreams slipping away. 

Kody tells Robyn he's been in a tough spot with Janelle for a year or two, he and Janelle are no longer in love. Robyn said couples fall in and out of love, Kody responds not for that long. Kody tells Robyn she has caught him at times when he has said he's thought about leaving and he's sorry. Robyn questions if Kody was mad at her, he said he was mad a the situation, and she asks him how leaving her fixes that. (I'm having trouble following some of the back and forth). Kody tells Robyn he and Janelle have different visions. 

Robyn in a STH said she still thinks Kody and Janelle can work on their relationship. 

Kody in a STH said he has a desire to move to get away from the memories and energy of everything. He said he can't because he has children in college and grade school. Kody said he wants to move to Europe, so he can't see it, feel it or be bombarded by it. 

Kody asks Robyn if she will accept him as a monogamist. Robyn tells Kody she'll always stick with him, and that's she experiencing an identity crisis and feels stuck. Kody tells Robyn he is done with Janelle and Meri. Robyn asks if Janelle said she was done with Kody, and he said yes. Robyn asks those words? Kody said yes. Kody yells Robyn all he misses is "the love of the children."  Robyn tells Kody now he's saying he didn't love his wives and he said it's because they're digging up the past. Robyn tells Kody he loved his wives when she met him, that's part of the reason she fell in love with Kody. Kody said they were working as a team, and Robyn said that's not what she's asking. Kody said he loved them, and Robyn asks why is he now saying he didn't? They argue is Kody is rewriting the past, Kody said he isn't. 

Robyn in a STH said this is not what she wanted for her life. Robyn in the STH said Kody is getting intense with her. 

Kody in a STH said he's a "flip flopping fool" with his ex-wives. He said they've all rewritten the past, especially Meri. 

Robyn asks Kody if he was in love when he married his wives, and Kody tells her to not make him compare. Kody tells Robyn he didn't know what deep divine love was until he met her. 

Kody in a STH said he sold Robyn something special, and now that it's shattered it's messing with Robyn. Kody in the STH goes on to say when he was in college he had a lover, he lost his virginity, it was devastating to him because purity meant everything to his church. He said he told Meri and Robyn, he claims he was never intimate enough or safe enough with Janelle and Christine to tell them. (I heard someone say Mykelti addressed this on her Patreon, and said Kody must have been in college for a semester or two right after high school before he left for his LDS mission, and that the LDS church is huge on purity). 

Robyn asks Kody if he was in love with all his wives when he married them. Kody asks what he has to say to get Robyn to drop the subject. Robyn sighs, plays with her hair. Kody tells Robyn he needs her to let it go and not hold it against him. Robyn said ok. Kody tells Robyn all his ex-wives eventually agreed they were over, and Robyn said Meri didn't agree Meri just couldn't stay in the relationship anymore. Kody tells Robyn he doesn't want to discuss it anymore. Robyn said she thought as a plural family they would eventually resolve things and find peace. Kody said he wished he believed that and doesn't think he's seen it. Kody said they are all working on their stuff until they die. Kody tells Robyn they need a new dream; the old one is dead. 

Kody in a STH said the reality of their situation is heartbreaking for Robyn. Kody in the STH said he's a monogamous not out of choice, but out of failure. He said his three ex-wives have decided he isn't worth it and doesn't want Robyn to see him as worthless. 

Commerical Break

Mykelti can't find Avalon, the whole crowd starts looking worried about the river. Thankfully Avalon is safe and was with Maria (Tony's mom) the whole time. 

The rehearsal dinner is on a riverboat. The adult kids chant "chug" and Christine chugs a beer. 

Janelle in a STH said all the children like David and the transition has been smooth. Janelle said no one is thinking about Kody and Robyn, too bad, so sad. 

Christine in a STH said David calms her, and she never realized how frantic she was. 

Thanks for the updates. For some reason I had it in my head their return to scam center was for an indefinite amount of time.

The Medic Corps crew (well one or two guys at least) are in California. Just like in NC, they are doing volunteer work for Elon Musk by delivering Starlink terminals. That appears to be the extent of their involvement.
