Welcome to Plathville Season 5 took a surprising turn when Moriah Plath, who was previously under the watchful eye of her brother Ethan Plath and his wife Olivia, decided to distance herself completely. Upon Ethan’s return from Europe, he discovered that Moriah had left and only left a note explaining her departure and mentioning the rent. However, there appear to be some inconsistencies in the situation.
When Ethan returned home, he expected to find his younger sister there, but the house was empty except for a note. The note mentioned her departure and acknowledged the rent she owed him. However, Moriah assured him that she had kept the place clean and promised to repay the remaining amount she owed.
Moriah Plath’s limited experience in the outside world, as depicted on Welcome to Plathville, suggests that she may not fully understand the nuances of rental agreements and proper notice. This conclusion was reached by some TLC fans who observed the situation.
One of the reasons for the clashes between Moriah and Ethan, as highlighted on the show, was her failure to pay rent on time. However, a post on Twitter by Starcasm raised questions about the inconsistencies in Moriah’s stories. In her note, she mentioned paying around $600 and promised to drop off an additional amount of under $400. It seems she believed that by paying for August, she didn’t owe him any more money, potentially leading to their dispute.
Fans’ reactions in the comments section seemed to lean in Ethan’s favor, expressing frustration with Moriah’s varying accounts of the rent situation. Some speculated that Moriah’s mother, Kim, might have paid for her new place in exchange for publicly discrediting Ethan’s claims about the credit card. This theory tied into the assumption that Kim also loaned money to Isaac for a plane. Questions were raised about how Moriah moved into an expensive apartment and furnished it while allegedly owing money.
Overall, fans felt that Moriah needed to be honest and transparent to rebuild her relationship with Ethan and start fresh.
