Garrison Brown was much loved
on the latest episode of sister WivesThere was an intense focus on children in the Brown family. A large part of the show was based on Christine and her continuing relationship with David.
Since the show was filmed so long ago, the pair are only dating at the moment – although we know they’ll get married by the end of the year.
Everyone has different reactions to their growing relationship. Some people, like Robin, are angry. Some people, like her children, are worried that she is moving on too fast. But Janelle, who is not only his best friend but also lives the sister wife life with him, is very happy to see him happy.
In one of her confessionals, Janelle talked about how she’s enjoying seeing her “straightforward” friend finally living an independent life. But she knows it’s a 180 shift that is confusing to many of her children. Then she tells a sweet story about Garrison.

But as Robyn rightly points out, “that’s what Cody chose” and now everyone has to live with the consequences.
