On this week’s episode of Welcome to Plathville, the Plath Family is dealing with the aftermath of the brutal post-wedding beatdown Micah received courtesy of his brother Isaac.
As The Ashley previously told you, the ‘Welcome to Plathville’ stars got into a physical fight back in February after Lydia Plath‘s wedding to Zac Wyse. At some point during the Battle of the Blond Bros, Micah’s nose was broken, ultimately requiring him to go the hospital to have his extensive facial wounds tended to. At the end of last week’s episode, viewers were informed that the reason Isaac attacked Micah was due to the words and actions of Micah’s girlfriend Veronica Peters. (Veronica called Isaac’s girlfriend Kaylynn a “slut,” mistakenly believing she was actually Ethan‘s girlfriend Teegan Nichols.)
In a new preview clip of this week’s episode, viewers see Isaac come face-to-mangled-face with his brother Micah for the first time since the fight. We also see Veronica dealing with the awkward situation (and Micah being angry at her for it) by using some dark (and downright strange) humor.
“His face looks…botched,” Veronica tells the cameras of Micah. “I’m over here [like], ‘OK, we’re going to need a plastic surgeon. It’s going to cost $20 grand to fix his nose. Isaac better start collecting a lot of peanuts— or whatever he does at work.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Veronica spoke out on Reddit in March, breaking the news about the fight (which was not filmed) and revealing just how bad Micah’s injuries were.
“[Isaac] drunkenly rearranged his face,” Veronica wrote at the time. “He nearly killed [Micah]. His nose was ripped off as well as the leather jacket he wore.”
In the preview scene, the brothers’ mom, Kim Plath, seems to be focusing on Veronica’s role in getting the siblings to squabble, rather than what Isaac actually did to Micah.
“I think Veronica thinks that the reason we need to talk is that we need to talk about how wrong Isaac was to punch Micah,” Kim said. “I don’t think she realizes that the underlying thing is because of all the things that she’s been saying and doing.”
Just then, Isaac and Micah come downstairs and viewers (and Isaac) get a slight gander at Micah’s broken beak. Isaac looks sheepishly at his brother, and then expresses to the cameras that he regrets what he did.
“I see Micah for the first time [since the fight] and I just feel really bad,” Isaac says. “I don’t even know what to say. I feel like there’s a lot that’s not being talked about that needs to be straightened out.”
“Veronica’s the elephant in the room,” Isaac adds.
We see Veronica try to talk to Micah, who snubs her. (This is likely due to the fact that Micah blames Veronica for the fight. In a different preview clip of this week’s episode, Veronica tells the cameras that Micah texted her, “Isaac attacked me over you…I’ve never seen so much blood.”
Veronica tells the cameras that she’s worried that Micah is now mad at her.
“This is not enjoyable. I don’t want to be here,” she adds.
Instead of trying to fix her relationship with Micah (or smooth things over with Isaac and his girlfriend), Veronica decides to use one of the disposable cameras left over from Lydia and Zac’s wedding to photograph Micah’s wedding shirt, which is now covered in blood following his brotherly beatdown.
As you do…
“She’s going to get these pictures developed and just see a bloody shirt!” Veronica says gleefully as she snaps photos of Micah’s shirt.
In footage of this week’s episode shown at the end of last week’s episode, we saw Veronica defend herself over accusations that Micah and Isaac’s fight was her fault.
“I did not control the arms of these two men,” she says, to which Ethan Plath jumps in to inform her that Isaac told Micah that he “lost respect” for him for remaining in a relationship with Veronica.
“Because of what YOU HAVE DONE!” he stresses.
Since the footage aired last week, Isaac’s latest Instagram post (from seven weeks ago featuring him and Kaylynn) has been flooded with negative comments from fans.
“You should be in prison for what you did to Micah!” one person wrote in the post’s comment section. “Disgusting behavior. Get help!! Your family needs to learn how to control yourselves.”
“Micah is literally the kindest human being that sees the best in everyone, you had absolutely no right to disfigure him over your frustrations with Veronica and Zac,” someone else wrote. “He literally escaped Veronica just to listen to you vent and you thanked him by basically attempting to murder him.”
“Forever shame on you for almost disfigured your brother you thug!” another person commented.
(Isaac did not receive any charges from the fight, from what The Ashley can tell.)
