The latest episode of Welcome to Plathville showed the aftermath of a brutal fight between brothers Isaac and Micah Plath.
Tensions were already high when the family gathered for Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse‘s wedding, but during the Tuesday, September 23, episode of the TLC series, some siblings hit their breaking point.
“Veronica’s attitude is just completely blowing people off, not talking to anybody. Playing the victim or whatever it is,” Isaac, 19, said in a confessional, referring to Micah’s girlfriend, Veronica Peters. “I mean, I don’t even want to look or talk to Veronica. It’s to the point where Micah’s gonna have to, you know, choose to either be with her or be with his family.”
Isaac added that he and other family members were “pushed” beyond their limit when it came to Veronica, who made her debut on Welcome to Plathville during season 6 last year. (Veronica and Micah, 24, called it quits after filming season 7.)
During Tuesday’s episode, Micah claimed that he “tried” to make Veronica feel welcome in his family, but she was intentionally “excluding herself” from the group. She went on to explain why she left Lydia’s wedding early.
“They were going to participate in what I call ‘hillbilly activities,’” Veronica told the cameras.
After Veronica left, the night turned to chaos. “I woke up at 1 a.m. in the hotel and I got a text from Micah. ‘I was in the hospital, I got some stitches,’” she claimed. “‘Isaac attacked me over you.’”
Veronica continued, “I’m very confused as to how I caused the fight that put Micah, my boyfriend, in the hospital when I was asleep three towns over peacefully. Like, I caused no ruckus that day.”
The next day, Veronica arrived at the Plaths’ home for a tense conversation with Micah’s mom, Kim Plath, and other family members, including Isaac and Ethan Plath.
“I would love it if this is all a misunderstanding and we can just get past it, clear it up and move on,” Kim, 53, told the cameras. “But also, I really want to get to the truth about what Veronica’s been saying and why.”
Before the sit-down, Micah acknowledged that Veronica has “said insanely nasty things about every single family member.” Veronica, meanwhile, claimed Micah’s injuries were so bad that he might need plastic surgery.
“This is not enjoyable. I don’t want to be here,” Veronica admitted. “I’m [on] no sleep, in the lion’s den, honestly in fight or flight mode. But when I’m in fight or flight, humor comes out.”
Kim encouraged the group to approach the conversation “like seven adults,” but things quickly went downhill. Eventually, Kim revealed that she heard from “several people” that Veronica was bad-mouthing her. Veronica owned up to feeling like Kim “used” her.
“She would call me asking for favors all the time [and] emotional support. She always needed something from me,” Veronica claimed in a confessional. “It was a very transactional relationship.”
Kim went on to claim Veronica reminded her of Ethan’s ex-wife, Olivia Plath. “I’m starting to see some similarities … which people said early on and I said, ‘No, no. She’s really nice.’ I was one of the ones standing up for Veronica,” she said.
Kim alleged that both Veronica and Olivia, who split from Ethan in 2023, were prone to “taking one little thing and running with it and twisting it.”
Once Kim found out Veronica called her a “snake,” a line appeared to be drawn. “I really was giving her the benefit of the doubt and I was trying to be nice,” Kim said in a confessional. “But I’m sorry … somebody that’s nice to your face and calls you a snake behind your back? I’d say that’s a two-faced bitch.”
Welcome to Plathville airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
