‘Welcome to Plathville’ Spoilers indicate that we haven’t really seen Moriah Plath and Olivia Plath hang out as much lately. It’s not really that they’re on bad terms or anything, it’s just… they’re not… within each other’s hemispheres as much anymore?
In spite of Micah still hanging out with his brother a lot, it’s clear that Moriah is often off doing her own thing, and usually with Max. Olivia is left to deal with Ethan and whatever baggage that may bring. But now… she may have another ally that we weren’t expecting, and that’s Micah’s friend, Helena.
‘Welcome to Plathville’: Is Helena the new Moriah?
She and Helena seemed to really hit it off while Micah and Ethan went and hashed out some personal things while Ethan worked on an AC unit outside. Ethan didn’t like hanging around and listening to the girl’s gab, and, that’s understandable, not a lot of guys like that.
Especially not one that was raised within the culture that Ethan was raised, often, standing around and shooting the breeze is labeled as “idle gossip” and that’s often thought of as sinful, or as something that will lead to sin. Although Ethan did say that he didn’t know how Olivia could turn her emotions off and on, he hinted that they were having an argument right before Micah and Helena walked in so that could be another reason.
With Helena, Olivia really seemed to shine and shed whatever Christian fundamentalist upbringing that she may have, she even said to Helena that when dating that her end goal was not marriage, in spite of her being married, and said that right now she and Ethan are married but that they’re still trying to figure things out as far as staying together.
Helena seems to be the Moriah without all the Plath baggage, and without the relationship with Kim and Barry, which it seems Olivia wants out of a friend. She just wants someone to be on her side.. and that’s not wrong.
While Moriah, as wild and free as she may be, will always ultimately have ties to Kim and Barry, which is probably not something that Olivia wants to think about on a daily basis. Also, the fact that Moriah is in the process of rebuilding her relationship with them could be a red flag to Olivia, who just wants to get out of Cairo as fast as possible so that Kim and Barry can’t dictate her life anymore.
It looks like she may have found a new friend, and as far as we know, Helena’s base may be in Florida because that’s where she did that photo shoot with Micah, so that would be one friend outside the family that Olivia would have.
Honestly, it’s not wrong for Olivia to want someone outside the Plathosphere. Helena is just there for a good time, she’s not there to get married to Micah (and Micah doesn’t seem to be marriage-minded either at the moment) and Olivia is still young.
Also, she doesn’t seem to have any actual girlfriends, she did say that in their circle they weren’t allowed to have friends of the opposite sex unless they intended on marrying them but where are all of Olivia’s crew?
Then again, it’s not like homeschool gives you many opportunities to meet that many friends aside from social media, and it looks like until recently, Olivia was pretty limited with that growing up too. So… it looks like Olivia has a new friend, but has she taken Moriah’s place? Stay tuned!!!
