The episode "Exodus" in season 2 of Breaking Amish follows the continuing journey of five young Amish and Mennonite adults, as they struggle to navigate life outside of their respective communities and embrace their newfound freedom.
Still reeling from the shock of leaving their homes behind, the group finds themselves faced with the daunting task of making a new life for themselves in bustling New York City. The previous episode saw tensions rise as they struggled to find work and a place to live, with different personalities often clashing.
Now, the group is faced with a new challenge as they are forced to consider what it truly means to leave their communities behind. Many of them grew up believing that leaving their Amish or Mennonite lifestyle behind meant a betrayal of their faith and values, a notion that they are starting to question as they explore the wide world outside of their communities.
This sudden crisis of conscience is particularly challenging for one member of the group: Sabrina. In the previous episode, we saw her struggle to adjust to the fast-paced lifestyle of the city, and she now finds herself questioning whether leaving her Amish background behind was the right choice for her. Despite her doubts, however, she remains resolute in her determination to make a life for herself outside of her community.
Meanwhile, the other members of the group are also grappling with their own personal challenges. Abe, for example, finds himself drawn to a new love interest which further complicates his already complicated life. Jeremiah, on the other hand, struggles to find his footing in the city and wonders whether he made the right decision in leaving his family and friends behind.
The group's struggles are further compounded by the fact that they are essentially strangers to one another; they were brought together by their shared desire to break free from their communities, but they have little else in common. This lack of familiarity leads to frequent misunderstandings and disagreements, which only serves to deepen their sense of isolation and disconnection.
Through it all, the group remains steadfast in their commitment to their new lives, despite the obstacles that they face. As they continue to grapple with what it means to leave their Amish and Mennonite lifestyles behind, they must also confront their own fears and uncertainties, and find a way to forge a new path forward in a world that is both exciting and terrifying. The "Exodus" episode is a raw and honest exploration of the challenges that come with breaking free from a deeply ingrained way of life, and the courage required to face the unknown.
