In Return to Amish season 3 episode 2, titled "Banished," we continue to follow the lives of five young Amish people as they strive to reconcile their Amish upbringing with the modern world. The episode picks up where the previous one left off, with Mary leaving her community in Ohio to reunite with her boyfriend, Chester, in Florida.
The episode starts with Mary and Chester making their way to his trailer, where they will be staying. When they arrive, Mary is surprised by how small and basic the accommodation is, with no running water or electricity. However, she is excited to start their new life together and is willing to make sacrifices for love. Mary quickly learns that life in Florida is very different from what she's used to in Ohio. From the hot, humid weather to the fast pace of life, she struggles to adapt to her new surroundings.
Meanwhile, back in Ohio, the other members of the group are dealing with their own issues. Abe and Rebecca are still trying to have a baby and are consulting with a specialist to explore their options. Jeremiah, on the other hand, is feeling lost and disconnected from his Amish roots. He's been spending a lot of time with Sabrina, a young Mennonite girl, and is drawn to her way of life.
The community is shocked when they learn that Mary has left and is living with Chester in Florida. According to their Amish beliefs, Mary is now banished from the community and cannot return. The group is torn between their loyalty to their community and their desire to support Mary in her new life. Some members of the community feel that Mary has made a mistake and should return to the Amish way of life. Others feel that she should be allowed to make her own choices and live her life as she sees fit.
As the episode progresses, Mary struggles with her new life in Florida. She misses her family and the simple, slower-paced lifestyle she's accustomed to. She also begins to question her decision to leave her community and wonders if she's made a mistake. Meanwhile, back in Ohio, the group is dealing with the fallout from Mary's decision. They must decide whether to continue to support her or distance themselves from her, as she is now considered an outcast.
Return to Amish season 3 episode 2 provides a glimpse into the complex world of the Amish community and the challenges that arise when individuals choose to live outside of it. The episode touches on themes of loyalty, family, and tradition, as well as the universal struggle to find one's place in the world. Despite the many differences between the Amish and the modern world, the show reminds us that at the core, we are all human and share many of the same struggles and desires.
