Veronica was hopeful that she would be able to use the ammo from a negative interaction with Olivia at a recent Plath family wedding to connect with the rest of Micah’s family, and she was right. Bring it up to Barry, both Veronica and Micah’s father shared that they felt Olivia treated them poorly And was a narcissist they’d experienced in their lives. While Olivia simply chose not to interact with them at the wedding because of their strict relationship, Veronica took it as a personal slight and used the incident to push her way into the Plath family.
The Plaths accept Veronica as they did with Olivia
The similarities to Olivia’s early days are shocking
Although Olivia is now out of the Plath family, before she and Ethan divorced she became a pariah. Distancing herself from Kim Plath, Barry and the rest of Ethan’s siblings, she chose to protect herself rather than continue to pursue relationships with them. While Olivia was close to the Plaths early in their marriageThings got difficult when she tried to think for herself and pushed Ethan to do the same. By not conforming to what Kim and Barry wanted, she became too difficult to manage. Earlier in her relationship with Ethan, however, Olivia was praised by the Plaths.
When Olivia first entered the Plath family, Kim was kind to Olivia, sharing that she would step in to take the mother role in her life. Wanting to keep Olivia close, she was sweet to Ethan’s wife and did her best to make sure she felt comfortable with the rest of the family, as well. Growing closer with his parents, siblings and friends, Olivia was truly part of the family before it was ripped away. By trying to bond with the plates, Veronica seems to be trying to get as close to the Plaths as Olivia once was.
Veronica’s using the Plaths’ issues with Olivia to her advantage
She’s trashing Olivia for brownie points
While Veronica may be allied with the Plath family over something they have in common, like their love for Micah, she is taking a different approach to Carrie’s favor with the family. Initially sharing her dislike for Olivia with Barry, she tries to spread negativity about Ethan’s ex-wife with the rest of the family. While the Plaths are happy to have Olivia out of their lives, they love trashing her every chance they get. Veronica seems to have figured this out and is doing what she can to use it to her advantage with the plates.
Veronica’s choice to use the Plaths’ dislike and distrust of Olivia as the way into their family group chat is a smart move, but doesn’t make her look good to Welcome to Platteville viewers. Despite knowing that Olivia was once loved by the Plath family and ultimately became too strong-willed for them to support, It’s funny to see Veronica choosing to try to connect with them in a similar way. Veronica, who lives independently and would likely have similar thoughts to Olivia if she and Micah got married, may not want to put all her stock in the Plath family.
Will the Plath family ever really accept Veronica?
They will push you out eventually
Although the Plath family seems to love Veronica right now, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes the next Olivia in their eyes. With a similar independent spirit and a hold on one of their sons, Kim and Barry will not be able to stand for Micah putting Veronica above them as he has already started doing. With Kim, Barry, and the rest of the family accepting Veronica at this point, It’s just the calm before the storm with the hard-to-bite plates. Although Veronica complained about Olivia publicly, she will join the former Platte soon enough.
Veronica and Olivia have a lot more in common than the former seems to understand. While Olivia is not happy about Veronica calling her Welcome to PlattevilleShe shared that she understood why Veronica did it and made it clear she agreed it was to Carrie’s favor with Barry at this point. Veronica choosing to use another woman’s experience without ever talking to her about it or interacting with her was strange, but it makes her look loyal in Plath’s eyes. unfortunately, Veronica’s loyalty to the Plaths will eventually get her pushed out of the family’s fold.
