In a household that exceeded 15 members, Janelle and Kody stood as the sole providers with full-time jobs. Surprisingly, after watching the episode, Gwendyln expressed her curiosity about the family's financial situation, wondering where all their money went.

The ramifications of this choice became evident when Madison, the child of Kody and Janelle, had to undergo an emergency appendectomy, costing the family an entire year's worth of wages. This experience taught Kody a valuable lesson about avoiding financial decisions driven by fear.
