Moriah somehow managed to convince Ethan to tell Olivia about the car. Despite being scared of her reaction, he finally decided to show his wife the car.Next week when Welcome to Plathville returns, Olivia will be seen getting upset about Ethan keeping the car a secret from her. While in the car with Moriah, she tells her to find out what are Ethan's favorite flowers because she would need them for his funeral.
