Moriah Plath Is Ready for More Independence in Season 5 of 'Welcome to Plathville'

The Gist:

• Moriah Plath, of Welcome to Plathville, moved in with Ethan and Olivia earlier in the series.
• Moriah and Olivia Plath were once extremely close, but not anymore.
• Fans want to know where Moriah lives now and where she stands with Olivia.

One of the most dramatic plot points in Welcome to Plathville is the ongoing issues between Olivia Plath and second eldest daughter Moriah Plath. Olivia is married to Moriah's older brother, Ethan Plath, and she was, once upon a time, close to Moriah.

To some of the Plath family members, Olivia came into the picture, married Ethan, and turned his world upside down. Family matriarch Kim Plath was initially upset that Olivia's influence would have an impact on Ethan's younger siblings –– including Moriah.

Eventually, Olivia's influence did impact Moriah. So much so that Moriah moved in with Ethan and Olivia. But does she still live with the couple?

Season 4 of Welcome to Plathville revealed that Moriah was living in a rental property in Tampa, Fla. She was sharing space with Ethan, Olivia, and Olivia‘s brother Nathan.

Things seemed like they were going well for the foursome. Until, of course, they weren't.

Viewers see a big change in the Season 5 premiere of Welcome to Plathville when Ethan comes home from a trip with Olivia to see that Moriah moved out. Although he jokes that he's "impressed" she cleaned her room before she left, he's also clearly saddened by the unexpected change. And it likely has to do with Moriah's deteriorating relationship with Olivia.

Moriah and Olivia were once best friends on Welcome to Plathville. Moriah even traveled with Olivia out of state when Olivia worked as a photographer at a wedding. And Olivia consistently encouraged Moriah to follow her own path rather than the one laid out by her once strict and religious family.

However, Olivia's strife with Ethan and Moriah's mother slowly drove a wedge between Olivia and Moriah, the latter of whom wanted to buikld a relationship with ehr parents after she moved out of heir rural Georgia home. For Moriah, Olivia's growing list of requests regarding keeping Kim away from herself made it difficult for Moriah and Ethan to speak with their mother.

Season 4 of Welcome to Plathville ended with Moriah fed up with Olivia and a big confrontation. And now, in the fifth season, things haven't gotten any easier. As for where Moriah lives now, judging by her Instagram posts, it looks like she moved into a new house where she may be staying by herself for the time being.
