Welcome to Platteville’s Kim and Olivia Platt exchange words for the first time in years

Welcome to Platteville’s Kim Ethan Platt’s birthday party brings his bickering mother Kim and wife Olivia together at the season 4 finale of TLC’s Welcome to Plattville.

Pigs can only fly in Cairo, Georgia.

Olivia Platt and her mother-in-law, Kim Platt, exchanged their first words. After years of silence during Tuesday night’s Welcome to Platteville season 4 finale. Even though the words were just a phrase, “Hello,” Kim herself points out, “is huge.”

Of course, it’s a long way to go to this fantastic “big” moment. And the family still has to sale with the aftermath of Olivia’s “devastation” during the memorial service for Joshua Platt, the sibling who died in 2008.

In the latest episode of the TLC hit, the whole family gets together for Joshua’s birthday. Including Kim, who is separated from her husband Barry and hasn’t spoken to Olivia or her eldest son Ethan in years. But at the last minute, Olivia gives up and decides not to attend. Leaving the rest of the family frustrated with the ongoing drama.

That reunion eventually causes Ethan, 24, and Kim, 49, to meet and talk for the first time since he and Olivia moved to Tampa in Season 3—before the law.

Instead of breaking it down and talking about it, Olivia and Ethan. Along with Ethan’s brothers Moriah, 19, and Micah, 21 — head to Jamaica to celebrate Ethan’s 24th birthday. At first, they have fun (Moria is drinking!). Still, the incident at the memorial leaves Micah and Moria victimized, especially after meeting a group of Rastafarians.

The latter talk about peace, love, and understanding (and weed, Ethan admits to trying!)

The next day, Micah reaches their breaking point and eliminates the source of his tension with Olivia. “What do you think about the conversations of peace, love, and understanding we have [in the Rastafarian village]?” he asked. “Did you see this happen to you and our whole family?”

At first, Olivia deftly ignores the question, telling Micah that she “loves all your brothers. And I’m in a relationship with your dad now that I’m working on it, and I’m happy about it.”

But Micah won’t let that happen. “What about my mother? Have you seen her in the works?’
