While Christine's former family and fans of their show have known for a long time that her marriage to Kody is over, they've still struggled to accept the reality of her exit and move on. Robyn said, "It felt like I just got pushed out of an airplane and I wasn't ready."

Kody also speaks to the cameras, saying, "It's just one of those things where it's like there's nothing I can do here. I'm not going to express my undying love for her like, 'Please come back.' I don't even like her right now." Meri, who also has a more platonic bond with Kody, also spoke about her feelings towards Christine.

She said, "There's really just nothing for me to say. What am I supposed to say? Congratulations, you're leaving the family? I don't feel jealous of Christine that she's leaving and I can't because I can. I can do whatever I want."
