Breaking Amish Recap: L is for Lies


By Sugarbush | | 1:46 pm | 25 Comments

We come back right where we left off with Kate in the stairwell freaking out to some Hannibal Lecter piano music.  The producers finally tell us that there’s no evidence to support Sabrina’s claims.  That’s nice.  Then why would you ask Kate the questions you asked her last week?  Oh, I guess that it wasn’t at all set up by the producers.

Rebecca doesn’t agree with what is happening to Kate and Abe feels that no one in the United States should be treated that way.  I guess he’s OK with this happening to someone in another country, just not the US.

Rebecca and Abe are both being honest with Kate, letting her know everything they know and that they did believe the story before hearing from her.  They think it’s a scheme to have Sabrina and Jeremiah sleep in the same room.  Rebecca reveals that only two nights have they seen Sabrina and Jeremiah sleeping in their room and Kate hasn’t seen them there at all.  They want to know what the hell is up with all of that.

They leave to find out what is going on when they spy Jeremiah waiting outside their room like JP in Grandma’s Boy

How did they see me?

Now it’s all coming out!  This is what TLC has been trying to tell us.  But, the funny thing is that obviously they are pretty incompetent if they didn’t do their background checks on these kids.  Jeremiah pulls Abe aside speaking Pennsylvania Dutch about some secrets.  Right now, it seems to be something between Sabrina and Jeremiah and an “other thing”.

Abe tells us that the truth is that Jeremiah and Sabrina had sex and the reason Abe doesn’t say anything is that Jeremiah knows things about Abe and Rebecca.  Abe tells Rebecca about Jeremiah’s threats, so Rebecca tracks down Jeremiah and tells him to back off.  Everyone starts speaking Dutch as if there are no translators on hand.

Jeremiah tells us that Abe and Rebecca have known each other for a long time now.  Oh yeah, these are all really the secrets, I’m sure.  So, Kate takes this opportunity to confront Sabrina about saying she put something in Sabrina’s drink.  Sabrina swears she didn’t even say that, but previous footage proves otherwise.

Kate wants to know if what Sabrina said even happened.  Sabrina says it did, because she said that she heard the flip cam close and Kate going back to her bed and wouldn’t answer Sabrina’s questions.  Yep, that sounds like she didn’t at all make up that Kate was standing over her with a flip cam talking about scary monsters.  Sounds as legit as this entire show.

Well, they just cleared up absolutely nothing.  Thanks, TLC.

This is me every time I watch this show.

Abe and Rebecca head out to Coney Island where Abe is going to propose.  They pretend to have never seen the ocean or touched sand.  They go to a swimwear store where Abe tries on a Speedo and no amount of bleach or liquor will ever be able to erase that from my mind.

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    Music – don’t get sucked in to much. All those rabid soap fans are now reality tv fans and it is scary.

    So you caught it too when Abe said “Any human being in the United States…” I was watching with my roommate’s boyfriend from Ecuador and we laughed and laughed at that part…

    Did they plan on showing something else in this time period? Is the person responsible for this show related to a higher up at TLC? I don’t get it.

    Maybe Tyra needs to swing through religious land and find herself a new crop of models.

    This is the meanest writeup I have ever seen. What is honestly wrong with you? Why would you call her reuniting with her birth father fake? Why call him a drug addict? This is so mean spirited.
    Why make fun of her like that? this review isn’t even funny or sarcastic or witty. it’s crass and mean.

    I fail to see anything fake in the show now. It all was explained and seems to be explained throughout the series. Are you covering your tracks because you all look like fools now? SHAME ON YOU FOR WRITING THIS MEAN SPIRITED UNFUNNY RANT.

    That whole scene with Sabrina and her “father” and ailing “grandma” was just about the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. She has love and respect for him? Her mother loved her dearly? Right, because dumping a baby in the garbage is all about love. What a bogus storyline. The father looked straight out of central casting.

    What a fakety fake fakefest.

    @Nancy the Troll – If you think this show is legit, then I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I’d like to sell you.

    By the way, my recap may not be funny or witty, but it is most definitely sarcastic. You might want to look up the definition before using the term. Sarcastic isn’t considered a compliment.

    It certainly isn’t satirical. So, yes, your sarcasm is futile. It’s not funny.
    To suggest that her biological dad is a fake is cheap and childish. They casted a bedridden Puurto Rican grandma and dad in Wilmington, Delaware?
    You’re wrong and I WIN!!!!!!

    Nancy,

    Yeah, you’re right because it is totally illegal and morally wrong to be bedridden AND Puerto Rican anywhere in the US, ESPECIALLY in Wilmington Delaware! Do you have any idea of the penalties they impose if caught???

    ~IF you are being serious you are severely naive and if not then you are just silly in a non funny way~.

    If this is the meanest writeup you have ever “seen”, then you haven’t spent much time around here, huh? One of the reasons why;

    SHAME ON YOU FOR WRITING THIS MEAN SPIRITED UNFUNNY RANT AGAINST OUR RECAPPER USING AWFUL SPELLING, TERRIBLE SENTANCE STRUCTURE AND ARGUMENTS VOID OF LOGIC! WE CAN’T MAKE FUN OF YOU NOW!

    When a troll seems a bit dimwitted it is really in bad taste to make fun of them. Especially when they won something!

    The troll is too stupid to waste typing on. And btw, Sugarbush, I think you are plenty satirical!

    Sabrina’s father and grandmother were too pathetic to have been faked I think. I was expecting a George Chikiris type, not a toothless skeleton with a cirrhotic belly . I bet she was too.

    And where is the kid Rebecca or somebody supposedly has?

    Not really. I didn’t mind the typing and I also think that Sugarbush is plenty satirical, and funny too.

    I am still left wondering how someone won something around here. I want to get to the bottom of that.

    I hate this show – yet I can’t stop watching! My co-workers and I are totally obsessed with uncovering all of the lies.

    Love your recaps! Totally don’t get the Sabrina thing. Why would you even want to meet someone who left you in a dumpster?

    Oh and I almost forget – what happened to Rebecca’s modesty in the bikini? Remember her at the modeling agency not wanting to wear a bathing suit. Suddenly at the beach with Abe there was no issue? Hmmm…

    My Mothers dog is Amish. No shit. She got her from an Amish guy in Pa.

    She is a beautiful German Shepheard. My family is partial to the breed and I grew up with them. This particular dog is so easy breezy and friendly to everyone! My Mom says it is because she is Amish and swears if someone came to the house to rob it, the dog would invite them in, plan a barn raising and send them home with a jar of apple butter.

    Its funny that you would say that because she actually does like to ride in the car! My Mom is so proud that Lilly is a rebel in that way!

    TLC addressed the allegations with this statement: “There is a lot of information floating around about the group featured on Breaking Amish. Much of it is not true, but some of it is — and is addressed in upcoming episodes.” Thus far, TLC’s in-episode explanations have been incredibly lame.

    Yesterday, TLC announced a two-part Breaking Amish reunion special. According to the press release, the cast will “disclose where their relationships currently stand with their family and friends” and address the “questions about the authenticity of their Amish and Mennonite backgrounds.”

    So wait.. does that mean Rebecca and Abe’s rumored kid is actually Rebecca’s kid with her actual husband and Abe just took a picture with it and her?
