From there, Christine said, “It’s better on the other side, isn’t it?”

“Eh, I don’t know,” admitted Meri.

“It will be,” Christine reassured Meri. “Infinitely better. It is. It is, I promise. So much better.”

As Christine then asked if the businesswoman was “alright,” Meri said she was doing fine. The two then embraced for one final hug, during which Meri noted how “this is good.”

“Yeah, good. I’m glad you came,” Christine said as Meri added, “Thank you.”

The Nov. 10 episode also saw Meri addressing her breakup for the first time with Janelle. At the start of the episode, Janelle visited Meri to warn her aboutthe future of Coyote Pass, which is the family’s property that they both partly own. However, the pair also disclosed where they currently stand with Kody, 55.

Telling Meri she’s finally “free,” Janelle, 55, explained: “Kody and I have officially said, even though this was the understanding, we’ve officially said it’s not working. I just think I need something different.”

“You happy?” asked Meri as Janelle responded, “I am. I’m at peace.”

As for Meri, she said she’s “all right” after her own separation. “Plugging through. It’s just weird, let’s be real,” she added.

“It is weird, but it’s not necessarily bad,” Janelle said.

“I mean, I wish things, you know, in the family could have gone a different way,” said Meri as Janelle replied, “Yeah, me too.”
