I just found out that Meri has an account called Salty Birches with Jenn. So, I guess she does want to be in the trees lol
This continues the series long motif/coincidence with the trees.
- Episode 1, K wants to tear down trees while the family is doing yard work.
- During a Christmas episode, they struggle to cut down their own tree, ruining it.
- S6, he gifts Janelle an ugly necklace shaped like a tree, the family symbol becomes a tree, the kids are gifted tree pendants, and they plant a tree as part of the commitment ceremony.
- Meri gifts her sister wives with tree art with branches that represent their kids.
- K spent a lot of time in Flagstaff cutting down and stripping trees, representing his destruction of the family. One of his fights with Gabe and Garrison was done while they worked on fallen trees.
- During their big fight, K refers to Janelle's small Christmas tree, which she planned to take to the Airbnb with Christine, as a symbol of the degradation of the family.
- An entire episode was dedicated to Meri having trees removed from her bed and breakfast, symbolizing her accepting her removal from the family.
- After dumping K repeatedly, Janelle left the tree necklace he gave her to start a new life.
- Janelle and Maddie started a new business named for a tree, Taeda Farms.
- Meri and Jenn started and account together named for a tree, Salty Birches.
If this were a fictional series, I would swear that this tree motif was intentional.
