A trailer for the new season of Welcome to Plathville offers more hints about what to expect when the Plaths return to TV. That includes some heavy discussions between Olivia and Ethan as they reflect on the end of their marriage. 

“Between me or your family, you were going to pick your family,” Olivia says.

“That’s because you made me choose,” he replies.

“I hope you know, I really did love your brother,” Olivia says. 

“I know,” Moriah replies quietly.
