After the season premiere of Welcome to Plathville, it was evident that whatever went down between Moriah Plath and Max Kallschmidt wasn't pleasant. This week, Max finally opened up about the nature of his actions that made Moriah break up with him. In a conversation with Micah Plath, Max revealed that he had kissed another woman at his friend's place.

Welcome to Plathville Season 4, episode 2 picked up right where it left off last week. Micah went to Tampa to visit his siblings Ethan and Moriah. But when he arrived, he noticed that Moriah was upset. The sibling duo went out for a walk. Micah tried to get Moriah to open up, but she broke down.

Moriah then asked Micah to talk to Max to find out what had happened. The Welcome to Plathville star, during her confessional, revealed that she was not being able to say what Max did for fear that people would hate him. She shared that she doesn't want to hate him, and neither does she want anyone else to.

Max decided to meet Micah and put an end to the mystery. When Max sat down to talk to Micah, he cried, sharing that he had messed up. He then opened up by saying,

"I have this good buddy of mine that's a good bit older than you and I. We used to work together and we were kind of celebrating his retirement at his place and he invited his lady friend over that I knew he liked. And so I was trying to be his wingman. And so I took things a little too far. I was just flirting with her, and that led her to think that it was okay to try and kiss me, which she did."

Micah was nothing less than stunned when he heard Max. Max continued saying that he confessed to Moriah immediately. But he also told her that he was proud of himself for not letting it get too far. After hearing what Max said, Moriah broke up with him instantly.

During his confessional, Micah shared that no one thought that Max could do such things. He added that apart from this being a betrayal to Moriah, it was also the same for the duo's friendship.

Continuing, Max shared that the argument between him and Moriah got more intense, and he said some hurtful things to her, such as calling her style sense tasteless. Max then broke down again and added that he wanted to do better.

After a conversation with Max, Micah got on a call with Moriah. She shared that she wasn't ready to get back with him as she still was not over the kissing incident. But in the future, if she can let this pass, she will think about it.

Fans who watched the episode were shocked that a simple kiss was why Moriah had a breakdown and ended her relationship with Max.
