Summary
Welcome to the beginning of season 20 (!) of Sister Wives.
Change is in the air as Meri decides (with Jenn's coaching) to go to a speed dating event in SLC. Meanwhile, Janelle and Christine are gathering to honor Garrison and move forward with Janelle's dream property, but Madison struggles both with the loss of her brother and the loss of her father in a very different sense. David loves soup.
All that and I check in first with the rundown of Kody's first appearance on the season premiere of Special Forces! He gets his face dunked in a muddy puddle. Tremendous.
