Spoilers for next week's Sister Wives episode ahead:

Kody and Christine's daughter Aspyn and her boyfriend make a huge step forward in their 9-month relationship, ending the long-distance portion of their relationship. "The Brown Moving Company" help Mitch move in with Maddie and Caleb so her can be closer to Aspyn. Robyn then takes the opportunity to poke fun at Mitch's choice of vehicle.

"Any idea on what to do with your 15-passenger van?" Robyn questions as she receives a high-five from Christine.

"There's a stereotype that polygamists travel in large vehicles," Kody reveals to the camera.

"Our church has a bigger parking lot than most," Christine fires back.

The couple didn't seem to have a concrete answer on whether or not they were going to continue in the polygamist lifestyle; however, both Aspyn and Mitch looked to be at odds.

Shifting focus from the two lovebirds, Ysabel is preparing for her next doctor's visit. Six months prior, the 15-year-old was diagnosed with scoliosis, and things looked to be headed toward surgery. At a 42 degree curvature, Ysabel was only 8 degrees away from necessary surgical correction. Kody, clearly anxious for the upcoming appointment, was hoping for no surgical intervention.

"The only religious thing about this is my gut reaction," Kody said.

While Ysabel revealed she only did her exercises "80 percent of the time," things were looking very tense before heading into Dr. Camp's office. Despite previous anxieties, however, it was revealed that Ysabel's curve had no change in the last 6 months–which meant no immediate surgery.

"We are not out of the woods yet," the doctor cautioned. "But I don't see any surgery in the short-term."

"This was, by far, was the best visit from Dr. Camp," Christine said, with tears building up.

Following Ysabel's good news, there was another big announcement–this time, made by Aspyn and Mitch. Smiles gleaming, the couple announced their engagement. As the 23-year-old shows off her sparkler, it was no surprise to the Brown family.

"We've been waiting for this one for a long time," Kody said.

"It was just the two of us, which was really important to me," Aspyn said as she explained the moment Mitch got down on one knee. "In such a big family, it hard to have those intimate moments."

Giddy with excitement, Aspyn was ready to get started in the wedding planning process. The episode follows 23-year-old and her new fiance as they look for venues in the Salt Lake area.

As the wives joke at Kody for moving them out of Utah during the confessional, it was clear that Kody did not take their jokes lightly and makes it evident his want to leave Nevada.

To find out what happens next, don't miss Sister Wives when it airs Sundays at 6 p.m. ET on TLC.
