LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLE!
Kody finally gets his boys' night out, including the beginning of his remarkable pattern of befriending his wives' personal trainers.
Meanwhile, the wives (and Kody) purchase furniture for Solomon's nursery, and the wives (without Kody) move and build it.
In all seriousness, there's some interesting insights into Kody's dynamic with men, athletics, and his past that genuinely surprised me in a good way, so I hope you enjoy.
Plus - a Jeff Aldrege cameo! Just what you asked for, no one!
