00:00So you want to know what happened on last season of Welcome to Plattsville.

00:08My mom bought a boat. This is your home? Yeah. It's one of the oddest midlife

00:15crisis I've ever seen. We all call it a turd because all it does is float. You want to buy it?

00:19No. Mariah moved home. No, he sees the cat. No. She's getting over a bad breakup. It's been rough,

00:28right? I was happy that she moved back just because I get to see her more often now.

00:33I ended my marriage to Olivia, which is actually a blessing. You're allowed to talk to me. That's

00:40pretty bad. I don't understand how you can move on so easily. Who said it was easy? It took me a while

00:48to get over it, but I sure did. I need the name of your lawyer because I'm still working on my divorce.

00:54You're looking at them. Micah moved in with his beautiful girlfriend, Veronica. Man,

01:00she is tall. Well, at least Micah doesn't have to change the light bulbs anymore.

01:05Make sure you clean up the hair in the sink. Doing that now. I think she still makes them.

01:11Veronica was there for Mariah when Mariah was trying to get over her ex. He would lead her on

01:17to the point where, oh, he's going to do better. He promises. And she believed it. I was like,

01:22if he wanted to, he would. The good thing is she's out of there. And then Mariah and my mom

01:28decided to throw a concert together for the family band. The day of the concert, Mariah gets back

01:35with her ex. She's gone back with him. Yeah. Hold my earrings. I was extremely pissed at her,

01:42at him, at the situation. So we have her location. She's out there. But we did actually pull the

01:50concert off in the end. It was a show. I don't even know what to say to that.

01:59And then there's Lydia. You know, nothing much ever happens with Lydia.

02:03Yeah. Until now. What?

02:06Get her whatever she needs for making gravy. Did somebody already add salt? Yes. Yes.

02:21If you add those, I'll quickly get these chopped. Do you want to get cups? Looks great. Why didn't

02:26we ever have tables like this when we were little? Well, yeah, I don't have little kids now.

02:30There have been some changes since the concert in St. Pete. The boat was fun, but it was crowded

02:36and a lot like camping. So I moved to a house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and closets.

02:46Ken and I are still friends, but that's it. We don't kiss. We don't have sex, at least for now.

02:52Worst test this year. It's Worcestershire sauce. Whoever came up with that name?

02:56The worstest person.

02:58Today, I'm hosting a family dinner at my new house, and I invited Barry.

03:06We're not in a great place right now, but at least we are able to be, you know, together

03:11around the kids.

03:15Look who I found over here.

03:19I was wondering who that bald man was.

03:21Hey, how are you doing there?

03:22Barry and I are not divorced yet. It's been over three years.

03:26It's really, really hard to just pretend like everything's fine.

03:32I talk to the kids, and Barry talks to the kids, but I have nothing to say to him, and

03:37I don't think he has anything to say to me.

03:39We're both eager to have a settlement here, but we're standing on each side of the Grand

03:43Canyon, and we've still got this gap that we can't bridge.

03:48So this isn't going to be easy, but we wanted to do this for the children, just to get together

03:55as a family, giving them the feel, you know, that they're so familiar with from the past.

04:00Growing up, it was 11 people on the farm in the middle of nowhere.

04:16It was a different world for us back then.

04:18Very, very different.

04:20My favorite comedians to listen to are the ones that quack me up.

04:24This is how family should be.

04:31Oh, my God.

04:33Oh, my gosh.

04:35Hello.

04:36Hi, Mom.

04:37Hi, Mariah.

04:38How are we doing?

04:39Good.

04:39How are you doing?

04:40I'm having a work.

04:41Okay.

04:42Not all the children can be here.

04:44There's a couple missing.

04:45Ethan is still in Minnesota, and Mariah is working tonight.

04:49Well, we miss you.

04:50We wish you were here.

04:51I know.

04:52Sorry, I'm missing this.

04:53I see Mariah moving forward in healthy ways.

04:57She's single.

04:58She has good support and friends.

05:00Mariah, we're going to save you some leftovers.

05:02Dad, you're here, too?

05:03I've arrived.

05:04He just got here.

05:05I just got in.

05:06He doesn't.

05:07You're here, too?

05:08I don't know.

05:08I just work here.

05:10So I'm in town.

05:11I'm actually picking Amber up to come back to Boca with me.

05:14Amber likes to come down every now and then.

05:16Still living with Veronica.

05:18I do feel like spending time with my family causes a little bit of tension between Veronica and

05:22I.

05:23In Veronica's mind, my whole family is, like, turning against her.

05:27Mariah, my dad, especially.

05:28It's getting more and more tense.

05:29They got everything really jazzed up around here.

05:33Okay, I love you.

05:34Bye-bye.

05:35Okay, I love you.

05:36It's hard for us to all get together, but, you know, I love it when we can, even if it's

05:41not everybody, but almost everybody.

05:43It feels good to all be together again.

05:46Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the food that you've provided.

05:48Thank you for bringing us all here.

05:50Amen.

05:51Lydia, you want some mashed potatoes?

05:52Yes, please.

05:53There have been lots of changes in the family, or should I say additions, in the last few

05:57months.

05:58What vegetables are these?

06:00I'm still living at the house with my dad.

06:02I just recently started talking to this girl and we started dating.

06:06I've never been this close to somebody, so I have a good feeling about this one.

06:11This is Lydia's special gravy.

06:14I mean, it doesn't smell terrible.

06:15I moved to Tallahassee a few months ago, but this week I'm coming back to Cairo because

06:21I have a special visitor coming.

06:23Do you have a boyfriend?

06:25Oh my God.

06:27Hey, what's up, Ethan?

06:29Not much.

06:30Hey, Ethan.

06:31Hey, Ethan.

06:33What you been up to?

06:35Just driving.

06:36I'm going to see you guys.

06:37Oh, nice.

06:39I'm still living in Minnesota, and I'm very much at peace with everything because I've got

06:44a good relationship with my family, and I'm a free man.

06:49And is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

06:53Oh, I'm just looking for big boobs, you know.

06:57It's true.

06:59See you soon.

07:00Drive safe.

07:00We'll see you soon, Ethan.

07:01Drive safe.

07:02Bye.

07:02All right, bye.

07:02Bye.

07:03Well, thank you so much for dinner.

07:05Yeah.

07:06Thank you guys for coming.

07:07All of my siblings, you know, we're not all going down the same roads.

07:11Things were going a little crazy for a little while.

07:13You know, pushing boundaries and cutting ties for a little while with family.

07:17The hammock.

07:19I cleaned it.

07:20Just learning new skills, trying to cram this knowledge into my head, all these pop culture

07:25references.

07:26It was tough.

07:28I've grown up without a TV.

07:30I don't think I need one.

07:32Do you know who Tom Brady is?

07:35I don't think so.

07:37Who is Spider-Man?

07:38Uh, something that I don't know.

07:43All right, what's a game we can all play?

07:45We could play charades.

07:47All right.

07:47Yeah.

07:48Ready and start.

07:52Spider-Man.

07:52Yeah, that's it.

07:53It's too easy.

07:55Holy cow.

07:55We have crazy different lives, different worlds now.

07:58Dad, you're going.

08:00Three, two, one, start.

08:01It's riding the horse.

08:07Cassie, what is it riding?

08:08Monty Python on the Holy Grail.

08:09You got it?

08:10Yes.

08:10Monty Python on the Holy Grail.

08:13I know my mom and dad are still going through the divorce, still trying to settle everything,

08:17but it is nice seeing that they can just kind of set that aside.

08:20Just hang out with family.

08:22Gas pump.

08:23Oh, oil pump.

08:24Oh, what's it called?

08:25What's it called?

08:25The thing.

08:26Oil.

08:27Oil.

08:28Oil pumper.

08:30Oil rig.

08:30It's such a throwback to how I grew up.

08:36The simpler things and how enjoyable they can be.

08:41Oh, chainsaw.

08:43Bumberjack.

08:44Timber.

08:45Tree.

08:46Uh, the stump.

08:47Yes.

08:48The season of life that we're in is like post-divorce family.

08:52We were together very tight, and then the divorce happened and the fracture of the family.

08:59Dirty diaper.

09:00Diaper rash.

09:01Diaper rash.

09:01Yes.

09:04I'm sure glad I didn't have to do that one.

09:06Unfortunately, you know, there's always a chance.

09:09Life can still get messy, but at least it's good to see we can come back together after we've been through so much.

09:17Who's going to go?

09:18Cassia.

09:18All right, Cassia, timer starts now.

09:21All right, Cassia, timer starts now.

09:21Take my heart, take my mind, and fill them with your words.

09:41For I'm yours, and you are mine.

09:50I moved to Tallahassee a few months ago, but I'm back in Kira this week visiting my dad.

09:58And I'm not here by myself.

10:01Where did...

10:02Oh, there he is.

10:05Hello.

10:06Hello.

10:06I've got Zach here with me, and this is my boyfriend.

10:13If you couldn't have guessed.

10:14It's true.

10:14He's helping me.

10:15My name's Zach.

10:16Great to meet you.

10:17We met four months ago in Colorado.

10:29I was visiting for six weeks with a friend just exploring Colorado, and I decided to try out a church in the area and met Zach, and here we are.

10:43This is Zach's third trip here.

10:44So, within the four months we've known each other, we've been able to see each other a lot.

10:48Like, I was first in Colorado for three weeks, and then he came here, I went there, he came here, I went there, and now he's back here for a few days, and we're just making the best of it.

10:58And there's no better place to make the best of it than in the field and in the trees.

11:04Oh, gosh.

11:05No!

11:06Why am I not getting this?

11:08You didn't have too many trees growing up, did you?

11:10I was born in Colorado, and I grew up with a family of five, including myself, two older sisters, and she's met all of them, and I've loved how she's interacted with all of them, it's great.

11:24And you've met all but two of mine.

11:26Yeah, so, I haven't met Micah or Ethan yet, so.

11:32I know all the names, don't worry.

11:34I know you do.

11:35Didn't get up too easily, but, you know, I got there eventually, so.

11:40We both really have a joyful personality, but something about when we come together, it's just like.

11:45Just like having fun with everything.

11:47Yeah, I don't have arms.

11:49Oh, no, we talk.

11:51Oh, I talk.

11:52So, hello there.

11:55Yeah, so I got a hot dog in front of me.

11:58Yep, right there.

11:59And, oh, oh, oh, my gosh.

12:03Oh, gentle arm.

12:04Whoa, no, stop.

12:06Oh, this is Lydia the whole time.

12:09Oh.

12:13Oh, Zach.

12:14Oh, Lydia.

12:16My love.

12:18What was the first kiss like?

12:21It hasn't happened.

12:23You said the first kiss?

12:25Yeah.

12:25It hasn't happened.

12:26How come?

12:29So, he has committed, and I guess now I have committed, to saving our first kiss for our wedding day, if that day shall come.

12:39So, I can't tell you what the first kiss is like, because it just ain't happened yet.

12:45I kind of told myself, I'm like, hmm, I don't want that to get in the way of really getting to know someone.

12:54So, I brought it up to her.

12:55I was just like, what do you think?

12:56And she was like, I've really actually always wanted that.

13:00I've always thought that would be a really sweet thing.

13:03I love being here and climbing trees with you.

13:06Oh, goodness.

13:08There's moments where it can be tempting, but I think self-control is just a way that we can represent the Lord together.

13:15And, like, we're going to have even more fun, and we're going to even do more things like skip around or dance or those sorts of things.

13:23And it's a closer moment, and it's better than kissing, really.

13:30But I think it's pretty safe to say that we're both looking forward to our first kiss when it's time.

13:37But that time isn't yet.

13:38Not yet.

13:39Not going up.

13:39I know, like, we've talked about how we're dating to marry.

13:47We're not dating to just, you know, do whatever and, you know, pursue our heart's desires.

13:55We want to be intentional.

13:57And so, I would love to have a conversation with your dad to ask for your hand in marriage.

14:09Sock and I had only been dating for 16 days.

14:36When we both knew that we had found our forever.

14:42I mean, there were so many just Godwinks, you could call them, or things that, like, we couldn't have orchestrated that was from the Lord and we both knew it.

14:51This is not a timeline I would have ever imagined.

14:55If you can't understand it, you can't understand it.

14:57Like, there's no, nothing I can say, but because of the way I've seen the Lord move in and through our relationship, I knew it was meant to be.

15:07I totally didn't expect to be asking for this conversation to happen in such a short period of time.

15:14I'm, I don't know if anxious is the right word, but maybe a little bit.

15:27I'm really excited that Zach is willing to have this conversation with my dad and a little just nervous, too.

15:33It's like, I know my dad knows him really well and, like, he's been here several times.

15:37But I just, I'm just, yeah.

15:43I'm excited and I'm curious to see what he has to say.

15:48I've never done this before.

16:06This is fun.

16:09Can I shave your head?

16:10No.

16:11I've been coming down here to Boca quite a bit.

16:14I'm just trying to prioritize my relationship with my siblings, and I think staying with them is a great way to do that.

16:20It's better than just phone calls and stuff.

16:22Are you sure I'm not pushing too hard?

16:25You're not pushing too hard.

16:26You're so much gentler than Veronica is.

16:31Veronica and I have been together just over two years.

16:33I feel like it's been longer.

16:36It feels longer, yeah.

16:39We're doing well.

16:40We're doing comfortable.

16:41We're moving.

16:42We found a gorgeous house, and we bought it very far, three minutes down the road.

16:51It needed some work, so we've been burning the midnight oil in the house every day.

16:55I work all day, every single day, and then I work all night, every single night.

16:59We both do.

17:00And then I try to try to sleep in between.

17:02Yeah.

17:05That looks good.

17:06I'm good at this.

17:07You're good at it?

17:08Yeah.

17:08You want to become a barber or a hairstylist?

17:10No.

17:10We've been having so much fun with her, but, like, a lot of people in public think that

17:15we're her parents.

17:16It does kind of feel like that, like a little family, but I still have that sibling dynamic

17:21with Amber.

17:22Hi, chickadee.

17:23Okay.

17:27Do you have eyeshadow?

17:29Yeah.

17:29I'd say me and Veronica are pretty close.

17:32We're like sisters.

17:33We do our makeup together.

17:34We share stuff.

17:34We get along like sisters.

17:37I mean, like, we get along, but we get on each other's nerves just a little bit sometimes.

17:43Not as bad as I do with my actual sisters, but it's there, definitely.

17:47Do you want sparkles?

17:49Maybe.

17:50Yeah.

17:50Later.

17:51Look how fun these are.

17:52Oh, yeah.

17:53You're becoming a mini-me.

17:55It's funny.

17:55I used to do makeup with Mariah all the time.

17:58And how was that?

17:59I mean, we don't talk anymore.

18:07Are you ready?

18:08I'm ready.

18:10Zach is planning on asking my dad for his blessing and my aunt in marriage.

18:15I'm so nervous right now.

18:19This is a big conversation.

18:23Hey, man.

18:26Your dad called me a liar.

18:28That is my character, a liar.

18:31To my knowledge, my dad doesn't think Veronica's a liar.

18:34Unfortunately, it kind of seems like Veronica's gonna speak it into existence.

18:37Who else have they done this to?

18:39Olivia?

18:45It's funny.

18:47I used to do makeup with Mariah all the time.

18:49And how was that?

18:50I mean, we don't talk anymore.

18:54So a quick timeline.

18:56Last year, Mariah came to me looking for help with her boyfriend.

19:01She tells me all these horrible things about this guy.

19:04I research, learn horrible things, present the evidence to her.

19:08Then they broke up.

19:10But just before the concert, she got back together with him.

19:13I talked to him.

19:15Why did you do that?

19:17Mariah said that she talked to him for four hours and everything he said made sense, so she believes him.

19:21I know it's her life, but I'm not okay with that.

19:24No.

19:25After the concert, Mariah turns her back on Veronica and tells my dad that certain things Veronica had said weren't true about Mariah's ex-boyfriend.

19:34And my dad reiterates that to me, I reiterate that to Veronica, and it wasn't received well.

19:42She said the reason the family didn't like him was because of me.

19:45Everything before was a lie, but Ethan had the same story that I had.

19:50Mariah told me that he actually had another girl that was either his girlfriend or his wife or whatever.

19:56But that he had a kid with this other woman.

19:59I mean, talk about scum of the earth.

20:01But after she got back together with him, Barry then went from calling him the scum of the earth to being one of his biggest supporters and wanting the whole family to sit down and talk to him.

20:12And then I was the instigator.

20:14I was the problem.

20:16But then they broke up again a few weeks later.

20:19We're good.

20:20It looks like after the whole thing, he was the bad guy.

20:23Hi.

20:24Hey.

20:24We're just having fun.

20:25We're talking about makeup.

20:27Nice.

20:30Mariah and I were so close.

20:31There was days where I talked to her more than I talked to you, and now I haven't talked to her in months.

20:37Maybe look at it more.

20:38It's frustrating.

20:39I think maybe.

20:39I cared about her as a sister.

20:41Maybe try looking at it more.

20:42But she doesn't care about me.

20:43Instead of her.

20:44If she cared, in eight months, she would have called me and apologized.

20:47I've asked for apologies.

20:48I've asked to talk through it.

20:50She doesn't care.

20:51That's the part that's really hurtful.

20:57I just recently got a new job farming.

21:14I just love driving tractors.

21:15I've always loved driving tractors, especially the bigger, the better.

21:19I mean, I'm still a certified pilot, and that's going to be my long-term career.

21:23But I've always wanted to farm, though, and so I'm in no big rush.

21:27I want to enjoy it while I can.

21:29I want to enjoy it while I can.

21:40What's up?

21:41Hi.

21:41You're so sweet.

21:47Let's get in the tractor.

21:49Yes.

21:50This is my friend, Kaylin.

21:51Well, she's my girlfriend.

21:52And we've been dating for almost two months now, just recently.

21:57We've known each other for like a year, two years.

22:01Two years.

22:03Didn't know each other that well, but now we do know each other well.

22:06Yeah.

22:07So I'm thankful for that.

22:13Looks good.

22:14Yeah.

22:15I love coming out here and visiting you at work.

22:18Oh, yeah.

22:18I love it when you do, but you look so good today.

22:22Yeah?

22:23I don't know about that.

22:24Mm-hmm.

22:25How did you end up becoming a couple?

22:29So I texted him randomly and was like, hey, would you want to go with me and my friends

22:33to this?

22:34And he was like, well, I'm supposed to go frogging tonight with a few buddies.

22:39Would you and your friend want to come?

22:40And I was like, well, that sounds a lot more fun.

22:42Just being around him and everything, like whenever I like somebody, I mean, I always

22:47get really nervous.

22:48There was a time where he, like, fell or whatever on two.

22:55And so then I caught him and everything, and then he just kissed me and, yeah, and then

23:01told me his feelings.

23:03And I'm very, very thankful for him.

23:06I'm going to stick the fries right here if you want them to say.

23:10Okay.

23:11Thank you, Pookie.

23:13I started calling Katelyn Pookie for some reason.

23:16That's just something that I heard and it picked up on.

23:20You like that.

23:21I like you.

23:22That's what it is.

23:23Pookie.

23:23She thinks I have a strong northern accent.

23:26Well, it's not, like, that strong, but she had, like, a northern twang to it.

23:30Most people say I have a southern accent.

23:32She's over here saying that she doesn't have a southern accent, and just say a few words.

23:38I'm listening.

23:39Um, the tractor tire is...

23:42The tractor tire.

23:44See, I told you.

23:45It's a tractor tire.

23:48Tire.

23:49Tire.

23:50Tire.

23:51Tire.

23:52Tire.

23:53Tire.

23:54Tire.

23:55Tire.

23:55There you go.

23:55We literally do this for hours.

23:58We'll just sit there, and I'm like, it's oil.

24:00And she's like, it's oil.

24:01Oil.

24:02It's oil.

24:03It's oil.

24:04Oil.

24:05What do you say, Mike?

24:07Oil?

24:07Yes.

24:08I was good.

24:10I knew it.

24:11No, I just love how much I love spending time with you.

24:14I've always wanted somebody that I love being with all the time.

24:18Which, usually, like, with girls, there would come a point, like,

24:22that we passed, like, a month ago, where if I would have gotten to that point with another

24:27girl, I would have been like, all right, I need some time just by myself.

24:30But with you, I'm like, no, I need to be with you all the time.

24:35I don't get it.

24:36The way things are going, I think I'm going to still be thinking that years down the road

24:39from now.

24:41It's been going pretty good.

24:42I think about it, too, a lot.

24:44It's been going pretty good.

24:46Very good.

24:47That's better.

24:48Very good.

24:52Yeah, no, I got it pretty good, I think.

24:55She's a keeper.

24:57I mean, how can you explain falling in love with someone, you know what I mean?

25:00It just happens, and when it does, and you know that it's real, you'd do anything for

25:05that person.

25:08So you're in love.

25:09Yes, I am in love.

25:14You want to ride with me for a while?

25:17Yeah, I'm going to stay out here and ride with you for a bit.

25:20You can't leave until I finish this field.

25:23It's only about 140 acres.

25:26Okay.

25:29Thank you, Pookie.

25:30Hey, Mariah, I want to talk about your hair.

25:41Oh, okay.

25:41I love talking about my hair.

25:42I know.

25:43Well, I changed my hair color.

25:46If you haven't noticed, I like it.

25:51Why black?

25:52Well, you can't just become a new person or anything, but changing your hair kind of can

26:00point you in that direction.

26:02I'm in a transitional spot in my life.

26:07I did end up going back with my ex for a while.

26:12Now, I mean, it was definitely a heated thing.

26:13Everybody was telling me what they thought and what I should or shouldn't do, and I kind

26:19of just needed to figure it out for myself.

26:23But now, I'm not in a relationship.

26:26I've learned in life you make decisions, and those decisions will come with good or bad

26:33consequences for you and the people around you, and that kind of happened with me and

26:39Veronica.

26:39We were close, and at times, I confided in her about some stuff that kind of got blown

26:50out of proportion, and then that was when I started realizing I don't think I should

26:54take everything to this person because some of it is made a bigger deal than I originally

27:00thought it was, you know?

27:01I had to let that friendship go.

27:04It wasn't healthy.

27:07But I know a lot of that is my fault.

27:11I knew I needed to apologize to Veronica, and I was kind of debating, like, phone call,

27:20text, letter.

27:22I was like, oh, Lord.

27:24Lord knows I'm just going to write.

27:31So this letter was given to you through Micah?

27:33Yes.

27:34There's not much to be said about it.

27:36I could read it if you'd like.

27:37Hey, Veronica.

27:38This is Mariah.

27:39I wanted to write you and try my best to say I'm sorry for the way I've treated you.

27:44I know things will never be the same again.

27:46It's hard living with some of the choices I've made and the things I've done.

27:49Thank you for still caring when you had every reason not to.

27:53I don't trust myself anymore.

27:54I keep hurting people close to me I love and care about because I'm selfish, and I think

27:59about myself more than others, I guess.

28:01I know there's a lot more to be said, but for now, sincerely, Mariah.

28:04I think she tried to apologize.

28:08You know Micah made her write that note.

28:10I did not make her write that note.

28:12I, like, read it and then got really annoyed with it.

28:15I would apologize for my actions rather than saying I'm hurt.

28:18There's not one time where she said, I'm sorry I lied about you.

28:22To everybody.

28:23I'm sorry for the way I treated you.

28:24The way she treated me, she treated me like garbage ass, but she lied.

28:28That was the main thing.

28:29She got your dad to call me a liar on the phone.

28:32When I was telling the truth, now that the truth is out, nobody's apologized.

28:36I don't want there to be anything, any, like, bad blood there, but there is.

28:48Anytime there's somebody that has a very, like, strong, assertive personality, I have

28:54a really hard time, like, like, standing up to them.

28:58That I'm working on it.

29:05I've never been vindictive to her.

29:08I've always tried to support her and look out for her.

29:10Veronica has a lot of resentment towards Mariah and my dad.

29:15Your dad called me a liar.

29:17He called you up and was like, she is a liar.

29:19No, I was talking to him.

29:22And he said you lied.

29:24Veronica has said many times, your dad thinks I am a liar, not have lied, a liar.

29:31To my knowledge, my dad doesn't think Veronica's a liar.

29:34Unfortunately, it kind of seems like Veronica's going to speak it into existence.

29:38He called me a liar.

29:40That is my character, a liar.

29:42Nobody stood up for me when that happened.

29:44Everybody just walked away.

29:46I've gotten angry.

29:48It's been difficult.

29:49I feel like I no longer fit in.

29:51I'm no longer wanted or welcome.

29:53Have you ever been in a room and you feel alone?

29:57Okay.

29:58They don't care.

29:59They're not singling you out.

30:00Who else?

30:01Who else have they done this to?

30:03Olivia.

30:06They called her a thief.

30:08Mariah did.

30:10And was it true?

30:11No.

30:12Yeah, I never got the full story.

30:13And her apology was half-assed.

30:16It was done to save her butt.

30:18Maybe.

30:18The apology was not authentic.

30:20I understand that Mariah and my dad, you know, disrespected Veronica.

30:24But she's at fault too and I don't think she necessarily sees it.

30:28So I feel like I'm trying to ride the line of not doing what I feel like Ethan did.

30:33Like early on in Ethan's relationship, his wife was struggling with our family.

30:37Like he took Olivia's side very quickly and basically got in a fight with my dad.

30:43Didn't talk to my mom or dad really much at all.

30:46And I'm just like, I don't want anything close to that.

30:49So as far as you and I, because this argument happens almost once a month.

30:54How can you move past it?

30:56What if they don't give an apology like you would like?

31:00I will have no relationship with them.

31:03Then where does that put me?

31:04You said you wanted to talk before you hit the road, right?

31:13Yes.

31:14I would love to, well, um, I, yeah, I'm obviously here to really just, I'm going to start in and just.

31:24Oh, I'm sitting down now.

31:44You're sitting down.

31:45Are you ready?

31:48I'm ready.

31:51Today is a day like no other.

31:53Zach is, um, planning on asking my dad for his hand.

31:59No, we won't say that.

32:03His hand is marriage.

32:06Plot twist.

32:07Um, no, Zach is planning on asking my dad for his blessing in my hand in marriage.

32:16You know what's next after this conversation?

32:18If he, if he approves, I get to propose to you.

32:23I can't, you can't do that to me.

32:31I'm not saying you can't do that.

32:32I'm saying it just gets me every time you say it and I can't think.

32:36Say what?

32:37That I'm going to propose to you?

32:43Are you excited?

32:44Um, I mean, yeah, it's a big deal.

32:50But at the same time, it all depends on what my dad says.

32:52What if your dad says no?

32:55I don't know.

32:56It would depend on why he says no.

32:57If my dad's like, nope, I have a really icky feeling about this guy, you need to get as far away from me as possible.

33:03That'd be different than if my dad was just like, well, give him more time.

33:08You know, like, that would be different.

33:10So we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

33:12Are you nervous or something?

33:14Maybe a little bit.

33:16It's a good nervous, though.

33:17I'm excited.

33:18Okay.

33:19Well.

33:20Here we go.

33:23I love you so much.

33:24I love you too.

33:26Let you know how it goes.

33:27You better.

33:29All right.

33:30Love you.

33:33I love you too.

33:36Have fun.

33:38Oh, of course.

33:42I'm just curious to see how this goes.

33:47I know he likes Zach, and I know they get along great, but, like, I need more than that.

33:52I just want to know.

33:53I just want to know.

33:54I'm so nervous right now.

33:59If Barry says no, I would have to respect his decision.

34:03I think he's a very wise person.

34:06But also, I don't want that to be the case here.

34:09So, this is a big conversation.

34:14Hey, man.

34:17Zach.

34:17Hey, how's it going?

34:18It's going good, man.

34:19Good to see you.

34:20Good to see you.

34:21Yeah.

34:21You said you wanted to talk before you hit the road, right?

34:24Yes.

34:25I was hoping to get this conversation in and just really have a, yeah, just a good one-to-one.

34:32And I've obviously been dating Lydia for some time, a little bit of time.

34:36Yeah.

34:36I mean, you're, yeah.

34:38It's not a long time.

34:39A little over three months.

34:41But it's been such a great journey with her, so.

34:44So far, so good.

34:45You look at her, and I'm like, oh, two lovebirds here.

34:49That's fair.

34:51Lydia just, she sparkles when Zach is around.

34:55When I think back to, you know, Bachelor number one that was in her life, or Bachelor number

35:00two that was in her life, now, she didn't have what she has now in the eye, right?

35:09I'm glad you see it, and you see it for what it is.

35:12I just, I've loved it.

35:13Yeah.

35:14Yeah.

35:15Actually, I would love to, well, I, yeah, I'm obviously here to really just, I'm going

35:25to start in and just, I think, you know I'm having this conversation.

35:30And I'd love to, obviously, ask for your blessing to have Lydia's hand in marriage.

35:47Just got in from Minnesota.

35:50It's an important time to be here.

35:52Ethan!

35:53Whoa!

35:53Ethan!

35:54What are you doing?

35:55What are you doing?

35:56What are you doing?

36:00I'd love to, obviously, ask for your blessing to have Lydia's hand in marriage.

36:21Oh, yeah, you got it.

36:23Oh, wow.

36:24It's an easy.

36:26Let's go.

36:27It's like, yeah, it's there.

36:28It's good.

36:29I appreciate it.

36:29Oh, my gosh.

36:30Yeah.

36:31Oh, my gosh.

36:32Like, that was so unexpected.

36:34But I appreciate it so much.

36:36And I can't say enough how much that means to me.

36:41It is a massive relief.

36:42I never thought I would have such an easy conversation with this.

36:46I'm so glad that you're on board with all this.

36:49But I just have to ask, why?

36:52Why yes?

36:54Like, you did say yes so quickly.

36:56I was not expecting that.

36:57I was kind of shocked by that.

36:59Yeah.

37:00Sure.

37:01So I've just kind of been, I've just been kind of asking God about you and Lydia.

37:08Mm-hmm.

37:08And the feedback I'm getting is peace.

37:13Okay.

37:13So my natural desire is to go where the peace is.

37:17Yeah.

37:18Yeah.

37:19What makes Zach good?

37:20For Lydia?

37:22Zidia.

37:23Zidia and Zach.

37:25Is Zidia there, Kyle?

37:26I'm going to call him Zidia.

37:28I'm going to call him Zidia.

37:29Oh.

37:31Okay.

37:32So what makes Zach good for Lydia?

37:35Number one, he's got a great relationship with God.

37:37And number two, he brings out the best in Lydia.

37:40You know, he draws things out of her.

37:42And usually it's like the other way around where, you know, the girl's going, what are you thinking?

37:48Zach's like, Lydia, tell me what you're thinking.

37:51I just feel like I've really gained a gem of a guy.

37:56I really appreciate that.

37:56I really like you.

37:57I appreciate that.

37:59So much, yeah.

38:00Zach is nurturing and he has the ability to just meet her needs.

38:06So they're really good for each other.

38:07Well, there's definitely some dates coming up.

38:09Okay.

38:10I'm trying to surprise her for the proposal.

38:13What does that all entail?

38:15Because my head's spinning.

38:15I'm planning on it happening at the cabin.

38:19And then I'm going to invite the whole family to just surprise her.

38:24Because she really thinks that, like, this is the last trip for me for a while.

38:28What are you thinking?

38:30So I'm planning on proposing in two weeks.

38:34Oh, my gosh.

38:36Two weeks.

38:37Yeah.

38:38Wow.

38:39Wow.

38:40Yeah.

38:40And then, okay, so you're going to do that coming up in two weeks.

38:43And then once you propose.

38:46Yeah.

38:48Actually, the wedding day is going to be in three months.

38:53Oh, my.

38:56I'm glad you're sitting down for this one.

38:59Are you crazy?

39:01Maybe a little.

39:02It's kind of crazy if you want to get married really quickly.

39:06It's really shocking.

39:08Why the accelerated timeline?

39:10Why not six months instead of three?

39:13Lydia has a plan to go to Germany.

39:17And she wanted to go on this.

39:18Oh, that's right.

39:19She talked about it.

39:20On this mission trip.

39:21And so, one, I wanted to go.

39:23And I brought it up to her.

39:24And then she was like, yeah, you're going.

39:26Like, I was, it was more an idea on my side.

39:28And she was like, I'd absolutely love for you to go.

39:30Then we kind of got to the conversation of, okay, are we going to Germany married or engaged?

39:36And as we asked that question, everything kind of came together to happen before we went to Germany.

39:43So, you just want everything to fall in place.

39:46Quickly.

39:48You know, this is more than a whirlwind.

39:50I mean, we're, we're like registering, like, at least a one, two, or three on the Fukushima scale.

39:55This is a huge decision.

39:57Till death do we part.

39:59That's major.

40:02Okay.

40:03So, I don't know.

40:03Maybe I should get a seatbelt here.

40:05Yeah, strap in.

40:07It's going to be a wild ride.

40:08Okay.

40:09In my mind, I'm like, well, there might be some value in taking more time.

40:14But I was in that same boat.

40:16Kim and I were together a little over three months.

40:20Before getting engaged.

40:21And so, I completely can empathize with their timeline.

40:28Lydia.

40:31Where have you been all this time?

40:35So?

40:36Well?

40:41Does my laugh give you an answer?

40:47I can't handle this.

40:50You okay?

40:50Do you need me to hold you up?

40:52Mm-hmm.

40:57There he is.

40:58Love birds.

40:59How you doing?

41:03We're doing great.

41:04Pretty good.

41:05I'm just relieved.

41:07My dad's, like, on board, which is crazy and cool.

41:11And, yeah, I'm just, it gives me a ton of peace knowing that my dad has peace as well.

41:16I'm very proud of you.

41:17I'm just really excited.

41:19Really excited.

41:20My little girl.

41:21She's all grown up.

41:22Just got in from Minnesota.

41:36It was my first time being back in Cairo since my motorcycle trip over the summer.

41:42I was gone for two and a half months, 13,000 miles from Minnesota to Maine all the way down

41:48into Miami and then all the way to California and then back to Minnesota.

41:52And I don't even feel like the same person.

41:54Everything that used to bother me before, whether it was Olivia or stuff with my family, it's gone.

42:01I lost it somewhere.

42:02And it was like this is the start of a new life.

42:10I want to take a month or so and do stuff with my family, hang out with them.

42:16My siblings are growing up quickly.

42:18It's an important time to be here before you know they're going to be gone.

42:21So spending time with them, that's very important to me.

42:26After everything that happened with Olivia, I'm not walking a line between someone who

42:31says, I can't spend time with my family.

42:33I can do whatever I want, you know.

42:36And that's how it should be.

42:42Zach, wait, you're three.

42:43What happened here?

42:44What three?

42:45Oh, we're okay.

42:46What three are you talking about?

42:47That three.

42:47I don't know if I have it.

42:48Ethan!

42:49Whoa!

42:49Ethan!

42:50Good to see you.

42:53Welcome.

42:53Lucky me.

42:54Zach.

42:55Zach.

42:55I'm boyfriend.

42:55Nice to meet you, Zach.

42:56I'll give you a hug.

42:57All right.

42:58Dude, how's it going?

42:58How was the travels getting here?

43:00Oh, it was good.

43:02What have you guys been up to?

43:03Oh, goodness.

43:05I mean, I won't ask what you two have been up to.

43:10What have you been up to?

43:12Well, you know, doing a lot of adventures with you, that's been kind of a journey.

43:16Yeah, but specific with today.

43:18Today, okay.

43:19Today, okay.

43:23I asked Barry for Lydia's hand in marriage.

43:26Okay.

43:27And...

43:27Okay!

43:30That's it?

43:31Okay!

43:33Okay, dude.

43:37It's really happening.

43:38He approved.

43:39It's happening.

43:39It's really happening.

43:41Wow.

43:41I think we kind of dropped a bomb on him.

43:47Ethan is quiet.

43:49I don't know what that means.

43:52I don't know if I want to know what he's thinking.

43:56So, surprise.

43:58Surprise!

43:58What the ?

44:01You meet a guy for three months, and you tell me you're going to get married.

44:04It doesn't make sense.

44:11I asked Barry for Lydia's hand in marriage.

44:14Okay.

44:15Wow.

44:16Mm-hmm.

44:16So, surprise.

44:17Surprise!

44:18What the ?

44:20You meet a guy for three months, and you tell me you're going to get married.

44:24It doesn't make sense.

44:26Like, I get that he makes her happy.

44:28That's obvious.

44:29But, it is pretty quick.

44:33There's more news.

44:34Mm-hmm.

44:35More than that.

44:41Shotgun wedding?

44:42You had to bring that up.

44:44Leave it to you to bring that up.

44:48The time frame of it just being so damn quick.

44:50Don't blame me for making a joke about shotgun wedding.

44:53What do you mean by shotgun wedding?

44:55You guys don't have shotgun weddings out in Colorado?

44:57No.

44:58Maybe not.

44:59I don't know.

45:04What is it?

45:05A shotgun wedding is when usually the family insists that they get married.

45:10So, they hold him at gunpoint until they get married.

45:13Oh.

45:15Wow.

45:16Is that not what you think?

45:18Yeah.

45:19Look it up.

45:20Shotgun wedding.

45:21What do we got?

45:22Oh.

45:23Yeah.

45:24See, that's what I'm saying.

45:25Are you reading?

45:26Yeah.

45:27It's based on pregnancy.

45:28They fall in love and then they get married quickly because of pregnancy.

45:32Mm-mm.

45:33Shotgun wedding is where they're held at gunpoint until they get married.

45:38Have you ever seen a shotgun wedding?

45:39Here, I'll show you this.

45:40This is Lydia Plath.

45:41Oh, so you're not thinking of, like, an actual shotgun at the wedding.

45:46No.

45:47Well, that's what I'm thinking of.

45:52But you're not pregnant, so it doesn't matter.

45:54Okay, we're gonna shift, downshift, and, and...

45:58Okay.

45:59Yeah.

46:00So, yeah, the wedding is coming up.

46:01Yeah, we have a date set for the wedding.

46:04Three months.

46:06Three months out?

46:07That's very fast.

46:08Yeah.

46:09It's true.

46:10How'd you guys meet?

46:12I was in Colorado.

46:13Went to this church, got invited to Young Adults, and then we ended up next to each other.

46:17And then I asked you out.

46:18So we went hiking, and then went hiking again.

46:22You're above 13,000 feet for, like, seven hours, and so that kind of started our journey.

46:27You had talked for an hour on the peak, two peaks before.

46:30That's true.

46:31What was I talking about, I wonder?

46:32You know what Lydia's response is?

46:34Miss that and the other.

46:35That's a famous line from Lydia.

46:37And then on the way down, it, like, started to rain, and I told her I love to dance in the rain.

46:42For a long time.

46:47What the hell's going on?

46:49And I asked her to dance in the rain, and it was great.

46:52There were two twinkle toes on the mountainside.

46:55My dad seems like someone slipped something in his kombucha.

46:58They asked you if you're his girlfriend, and I guess I said yes.

47:04Yes?

47:05I didn't even know I was meeting this guy tonight.

47:08Safe to say, this is definitely not anybody I pictured Lydia with.

47:12And then he jumped up and did, like, all these acrobats that I didn't even know he could do,

47:15because he was so excited.

47:16He couldn't contain his toy.

47:17I didn't do, like, a backflip or anything.

47:19You did something.

47:20I don't know what it was.

47:21I was just thinking around.

47:22I was like, what a girlfriend is that?

47:26Yeah, it was good.

47:27Yeah.

47:28Lydia seems very, very happy, so that's good.

47:36I guess the one thing that I have hesitation of is I think he's gay.

47:42A lot's going through my mind at the moment.

47:54I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

47:57When I first met the plots, I felt loved and welcome, but I don't have many allies anymore.

48:06I am deeply hurt by it all, so I had to step away from makeup for a minute and just decompress.

48:14I'm even more hurt that he doesn't stand up for me even though he knows what happened.

48:19So, I think now's a good time to make a quick little call to a new friend of mine.

48:26Mind you, I cannot let Micah know, or the family, because then I'll be in a way worse situation.

48:31I know this will go bad, mark my words.

48:36I am a very firm believer in eye for an eye.

48:39So, if you treat me poorly, I'll treat you poorly.

48:41If you treat me like gold, you're golden.

48:43I feel like I'm on a covert spy mission calling Ethan's ex-wife, Olivia.

48:50Hello.

48:52Honey, honey, honey, honey.

48:56This season, I'm Welcome to Plathville.

49:00We do need to make sure he's the one for Lydia.

49:03Welcome to my crew.

49:07This is Tegan.

49:08She's my girlfriend.

49:09The less you have on, the better.

49:10No comment there.

49:13Bye.

49:16We're either going to get along really well, or a wormhole's going to develop and we're going to consume each other.

49:23So, you must be Zachary Wise.

49:25Yes.

49:26I've never met him, and it feels like just last month he met my sister.

49:30She really wants babies.

49:32Oh, I do?

49:33Like, you don't?

49:38I'm really struggling with bitterness.

49:40I'm going into debt, putting lawyer fees on my credit card.

49:44On my end, I'm feeling pretty ambushed.

49:47Everyone who just got here want to go through all the positioning.

49:51If we can stand in the places so we know where everybody is.

49:53It gave Bradzilla vibes?

49:56I don't know what that is.

49:59I know my dad didn't grill him that hard.

50:02Maybe Ethan and I should.

50:04When you're with Lydia, what do you feel?

50:06I'm trying to think. Let me...

50:08She's, I mean, just confident.

50:11Confidence?

50:12I think that's a bull****** answer.

50:14In the heat of the moment, you say things that you can never take back.

50:18Like, I'm a spineless worm.

50:20Today, yeah.

50:23Yeah, I'm hurt because you treated me like that.

50:26Some people aren't good for you.

50:29This is just way too similar to all the Olivia stuff.

50:33She's a good woman to be like. I like her.

50:34You do not know Olivia.

50:38Hello.

50:40I'm sick of it.

50:43Son of a bitch.
