Kody Brown is married to three women, Meri, Janelle, and Christine, and they live together with their dozen kids in a home that is divided into three apartments. Kody announces that he is seeing a fourth woman named Robyn.
As Kody heads out for his date with Robyn, who has three kids and lives far away, the three wives discuss the potential change this courtship might bring about while preparing for Christine's imminent childbirth.
As Robyn and her kids relocate to a place that's near her fiancé Kody's house, the three wives find it hard to deal with the new situation; however, they try to remain supportive of their husband and this new match.
Robyn looks after Christine's kids while Kody takes his third wife to the hospital since she is a week past her due date. The workers at the hospital, who seem tolerant of the polygamist lifestyle, help deliver Christine's baby daughter, Truely.
To celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, Kody and Meri head to Mexico. Meri opens up about her reproductive issues as well as her resentment of Kody's new relationship with Robyn, but Kody reassures her of his love for her.
With Kody and Robyn's big drawing close, as a token of friendship, Robyn asks her future sister wives to look at wedding dresses with her, while Kody accompanies them to browse wedding cakes and decide on a venue for the wedding reception. Kody apologizes after a remark he said hurts his wives.
On the day of the wedding, Robyn tries to get ready while keeping her unruly kids in line. Also, the three wives welcome Robyn by gifting her with a Claddagh ring. Meri, Janelle, and Christine reminisce about their own weddings as the newlyweds prepare to leave for their honeymoon.
Journalist Natalie Morales conducts an interview with the Browns in which she talks to them about their unusual lifestyle, their newfound fame, as well as the fact that they are being investigated.
As Kody and Robyn spend their 11-day honeymoon in San Diego, the other wives go with the kids on a camping trip. Meri, Janelle, and Christine are still having a hard time coping with their husband's being away on his honeymoon.
