Welcome to Plathville: Moriah Goes After Olivia – What Does She Have to Gain?
Welcome to Plathville star Moriah Plath’s attitude towards Olivia Plath left viewers in shock during the Season 5 premiere. TLC fans expected to see that many changes have taken place in the family. But they say they can’t wrap their head around how different Moriah is this season. They think she may have more up her sleeve than she lets on.
Welcome to Plathville: Moriah Plath Comes Out Swinging at Olivia Plath
The Season 5 opener of Welcome to Plathville gave fans much to discuss. They find Moriah Plath’s complete change of attitude regarding her family confusing. In the past, Moriah worshiped the ground that her sister-in-law walked on. She owed a lot to her brother Ethan Plath’s wife for showing her everything she was missing out on in life.
But this season, fans see a different side to Moriah and are not sure they care for it. Not only has she turned against Olivia, but she also seems to have convinced her entire family to do so. They feel completely blindsided by the Plath family’s attitude towards them.
Ethan says he is furious with his siblings for going behind his back. He can’t believe they used social media to attack her. He feels there were other ways to handle the matter.
Their issues began last season after his wife seemingly outed his mom, Kim Plath. During her Welcome to Plathville Season 4 finale confessional, Olivia accused Kim of using Ethan’s credit card. So, she changed Ethan’s PIN, which made his mother furious.
TLC Viewers React to Family’s Treatment of Olivia
This situation has become a real mess for the Welcome to Plathville cast members. The family has since banded together to say Olivia Plath lied about Kim using the credit card. The kicker is that Ethan says the story is true. Despite his admittance, the matter has shaken up the entire family, and there may be no way back from it.
Now that more details about the credit card incident have emerged, fans feel torn over which side to believe. Following the premiere, many seemed to lean towards Olivia Plath. Another thing fans find disturbing is Barry Plath’s brainwashing comments.
Others don’t care for the way Kim appears to be satisfied with her daughter-in-law’s downfall. That and Moriah and Micah being so quick to defend their mom all seem a little suspicious. This family battle is far from over. The preview clip shows that there is more drama waiting to surface, not only with all of the Plath family members.
Welcome to Plathville: What is Moriah’s Endgame?
Moriah has yet to win any bonus points with viewers. Many believe she may have a strong motive to boot her former friend from the family. Since the start of the series, the main focus revolves around Olivia’s battle with Barry and Kim. This has brought Ethan and Olivia tons of attention, on and off camera. Because of this, fans feel she may do anything to get her out of the family and off the show.
Of course, these are some fan theories based on Episode 1 of Welcome to Plathville Season 5. There is still a lot to unpack. Not to mention many more secrets and lies to be exposed. Olivia Plath and Moriah Plath’s feud will play a key role this season. But which one will come out on top of this family drama remains to be seen.
