Meri’s “release” is a religious process she asks her former church to grant concerning her marriage to Kody—not a civil divorce proceeding established by the preview. TLC describes the church’s release as its version of divorce. The clip is identified as Season 19, Episode 5, “The Year of Release.”
What Meri’s “release” means
TLC’s official clip description says, “Meri asks the church for a release from her marriage to Kody.” That is promotional description, not verified dialogue spoken in the preview. In its season announcement, TLC calls the release the former church’s version of divorce. The phrasing therefore points to a religious process; the cited material does not establish that it ended a civil marriage.

Which Sister Wives episode features the preview?
TLC identifies the footage as Season 19, Episode 5, “The Year of Release.” Apple TV lists the same season, episode number, and title. Its catalog gives October 14, 2024 as the date for its market; that listing date should not be treated as a universal air date.
What the preview confirms—and what it doesn’t
The official material establishes that Meri sought a release from her former church and identifies the episode in which the storyline appears. It does not provide the full preview conversation, explain the church’s rules or the process’s outcome, or establish the civil legal status of Meri and Kody’s marriage. No additional reactions or dialogue should be attributed to either of them based on the published descriptions.
