TLC's Welcome to Plathville season 4 returned on Tuesday night for another intense episode. This week, Barry invited Ethan to Cairo to reveal the news of his separation from Kim. When Ethan became aware of the divorce, he was shocked and blamed his mother for it. However, Micah didn't like the way his brother spoke about their mother and went on to correct him.
Episode 8 of Welcome to Plathville featured Ethan and Micah riding to Cairo to visit their dad. Although Micah had been visiting quite often, Ethan hadn't spoken to his dad or mom for a long time after an argument. Ethan also told his father he would visit him under one condition: his mother shouldn't be there.
So much so that when Barry revealed the news of their divorce, Ethan felt sorry for his father but mad at his mother. He didn't want to hear his mother's side of the story and her reason for the divorce. Micah didn't like his brother's attitude towards their mother. The Welcome to Plathville star told his brother that his behavior was infuriating.
Fans who watched the episode took to social media to claim that Micah was mature and that he did right by checking Ethan on his behavior.

When Micah and Ethan arrived in Cairo, their siblings were excited to see them. They were even more excited to see Ethan since he hadn't visited in a long time. Barry was equally excited to see his son, but he was worried about how he would break the news about the divorce.
Barry, Ethan, Micah, Lydia, and Issac headed to a different room for a conversation. At the time, the Welcome to Plathville star broke the news to his son, who was shocked. He also felt sad about his father's situation. Later in the episode, Micah asked his brother his thoughts on the situation.
Ethan shared,
"I don't know. That was definitely not something I saw coming. Just doesn't make sense to me. Cause I'll sit here and tell you right now. Dad has done everything for her."
During his confessional, Ethan shared that the ordeal between his parents now made him question his childhood. Continuing his conversation with Micah, he shared,
"I'm glad I don't have to see mom. I've already said I don't ever want to have a relationship with her, but especially after this. Like, right now, what I'm feeling is I goddamn for sure won't. I've been done with that lady for a long time. This is my last straw."
Micah couldn't stand the way his brother was talking about their mum. He immediately stopped him and told his brother that he was getting upset. He shared that he understood his emotions but didn't like his attitude.
