Ethan Plath made his sister Lydia Plath cry on the most recent episode of Welcome to Plathville, criticizing her whirlwind romance with Zac Wyse prior to their engagement.
“I would like you to be completely satisfied, and I’m very completely satisfied to see that you just’re completely satisfied. But I just should say it,” Ethan, 27, told his younger sister, 21, on the Tuesday, August 5, episode of the TLC series. “You’ve only known him for 3 months and also you’re getting married in two months. Are you sure you’re good with that?”
While Lydia said she was confident that Zac was The One, Ethan questioned the speed of their engagement and subsequent marriage. (Zac and Lydia set a date for his or her wedding before he popped the query.)
“It’s too fast. It’s an excessive amount of. … I don’t really know him. I don’t really like him. Just being honest with you,” Ethan told Lydia, admitting that he didn’t have an actual reason for his feelings. “I just don’t like him, but I don’t know if that’s because I don’t know him yet or if it’s simply because I’m being protective of you and it’s all really fast.”
Lydia got quiet and broke down into tears before hugging her big brother. Ethan eventually said, “I feel like I don’t know you actually. I don’t confer with you rather a lot now you’re gone already.”
The siblings had their heart-to-heart hours before Zac’s surprise proposal, and thru the tears realized that perhaps Zac wasn’t the problem between them — a minimum of not entirely.
“That’s just the primary time that I actually feel you care,” Lydia confessed to Ethan, who responded, “I didn’t know you didn’t know.”
Lydia then told the cameras that while her brother “doesn’t really like Zac,” she thinks “it’s much deeper than that.”
“I feel the issue is more he doesn’t know me thoroughly,” she continued. “And that’s a tough reality to face.”
“I wish we might have had more opportunities to be close,” Lydia then told Ethan through tears. “I understand it’s been hard with you in Minnesota, and there have been never opportunities for it to be expressed.”
Olivia Plath is opening as much as her sister Lydia Grace Meggs in regards to the realities of her marriage to Ethan Plath. “What should you meet any individual and also you were a distinct person whenever you met them, but you’ve completely modified, and also you’re sort of moving into opposite directions, but you’re along with them?” Lydia asks Olivia, […]
Ethan replied, “Now you do know,” confessing, “I’m just being hard on Zac because I feel that you just’re just amazing and no one really ever can be adequate for you.”
The eldest Plath sibling later told the cameras that hearing how distant Lydia feels he’s been “stings a bit bit.” Ethan also revealed that while it’s “not my place” to inform Lydia to not marry Zac so quickly, he desired to be certain she was being “careful.”
“I’ve seen him protect [our sister] Moriah at times, and I knew he and Moriah were really close. I just all the time wanted that for myself, and I feel like I probably got that today,” Lydia said in her confessional. “Not that he has anything to guard me from, but just the undeniable fact that he’s showing he cares.”
While Ethan has been vocal all season about how briskly Zac and Lydia were moving, the couple got engaged in December 2024. (Fans will see the proposal play out next week on the TLC series.)
Lydia and Zac tied the knot in February surrounded by their family members, including Ethan, who was available to have fun. The ceremony took place on the Plath farm in Georgia.
Welcome to Plathville airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
