Jeremiah (who is still living the Amish lifestyle) and Katie Ann are trying to live by the rules, but find sticking to their Amish roots to be difficult. In NYC Kate decides to get a nose job to fix her deviated septum from her childhood injury. Mary begins searching for a location for a Bed & Breakfast.

Carmela reveals that she grew up in a cult and all compare her experience to their Amish and Mennonite upbringing. Kate does not come to the wedding. Despite some bumps, the wedding takes place successfully.

In the epilogue, Jeremiah and Carmela are happy in their marriage. Abe is still doing long haul trucking, leaving Rebecca with the kids. Mary moved back to Punxsy with Chester, but is still banished by the church. Kate is doing well in New York and has still not spoken with Jeremiah. Sabrina is still clean and sober and her daughter has been returned to her. Esther left the Amish church and ran off to Ohio with her boyfriend.

Two months after the wedding, Sabrina reveals that she is pregnant.

Sabrina's daughter has been taken away again, and she wants to have a home birth. Rebecca decides to get a GED but finds that she has a lot of work to do, especially in math and science. Jeremiah sinks all of his money into a piece of land in Florida, but a man informs him that he cannot build on it because it is a swamp.

Rebecca and Abe go in for counseling, and later Mary is included in the sessions. Mary buys a Trans Am, learns to drive and leaves for Florida with Abe to visit Jeremiah. Jeremiah learns that the neighbors lied to him so they could maintain their privacy and he can build after all.

Abe helps Jeremiah build his deck, then all go to Sarasota for some rest and relaxation. Mary tries out as many "English" activities as she can. Andrew considers telling Chester what Mary is up to but thinks better of it. Meanwhile, Sabrina worries about what will become of her baby. Rebecca works on her GED prep and then decides to fly to Sarasota.

Rebecca and Carmela resolve their differences. Jeremiah and Carmela do tests to see if they can conceive via IVF. Back in Pennsylvania, Mary organizes a baby shower for Sabrina but Rebecca and Abe refuse to attend. Sabrina wants to sign over guardianship of her baby to her Mennonite parents. However, the baby is born four weeks early before the paperwork is ready and the state moves to take custody. Rebecca prepares to take her GED exam.

Jeremiah and Carmela begin their IVF process. Jeremiah focuses on the house instead of Carmela, which leads to arguments. Carmela packs up her kids and drives to Washington. Jeremiah flies there to meet her and she says she wants marriage counseling. Meanwhile, Rebecca takes her GED exam and fails it, but surprisingly Abe is supportive. Sabrina signs over her parental rights. Jeremiah and Carmela see a counselor and get into an argument while there, which leads the counselor to question whether they should stay together.

Mary offers to take Jeremiah and Carmela to Las Vegas for the honeymoon they never had. On the morning of the flight Mary breaks her ankle so Abe accompanies them as well. While there Jeremiah asks Carmela to renew their vows and she accepts, though she is skeptical that it will fix their relationship problems. Eventually Rebecca and Sabrina join them and all reconcile and enjoy the vow ceremony.

In the epilogue, Sabrina continues to have substance abuse problems. She was arrested on a probation violation. She hopes to get her parental rights back. Rebecca is continuing to work on her GED and then plans to attend college. Abe gave up his long distance truck driving job and now stays home with Rebecca and the children. Word of Mary's driving and trip to Las Vegas got back to Punxsy, and now Chester is in danger of being banished from the church. Jeremiah and Carmela separated after an incident that happened after filming ended, and they hope to reconcile.

Mary decides to try to return to the Amish church to reduce the pressure on Chester and to be able to participate in her Amish daughter Katie Ann's wedding. This means she must cut ties with ex-Amish Jeremiah. Jeremiah and Carmela start an Amish donut business at fairs but need help and partner with Ada. Ada insists that they use only Amish or Mennonite staff. Dawn, Shelly and Lowell quietly leave the church and their families and join the business. Sabrina hears of this and demands a job as well.

Jeremiah wants to introduce his new recruits to the English world gradually, so he flies them to Sarasota. Jeremiah and Carmela stay at the house while Dawn, Shelly and Lowell go to a bar. Ada arrives the next morning and discovers that Shelly did not return that night. Meanwhile, Sabrina learns that her father has just died and goes to Wilmington DE for the funeral. Sabrina was told in the past that her mother had committed suicide because of her, which left Sabrina with huge guilt and possibly led to her drug problems. At the funeral she hears that none of that was true.

Shelly had called her boyfriend Matt to tell him that she was uncomfortable working with her ex Lowell. Matt arrived in Sarasota to give her an opportunity to leave with him, but she decided to stay and rejoined the others at the house. Dawn, Shelly and Lowell shop for bathing suits and hit the beach. Mary sells all of her "English" items and gives up her drivers license, then approaches the Bishop to ask for reinstatement. Sabrina arrives at the house and again asks for a job, and Ada hires her over Jeremiah's reservations. Lowell's girlfriend Lisa informs him that she is pregnant. As Lowell contemplates fatherhood, Jeremiah asks him if perhaps the baby is not his? This sets off a huge fight all through the house.

The fight is resolved but all wonder what kind of boss Jeremiah will be. They set off for their first donut sale in New Orleans. Jeremiah instructs Dawn, Shelly and Lowell to be home before dark but they ignore him and explore the French Quarter. Mary attends a church service with her family and it goes well although she cannot eat with the congregation afterwards because she is shunned. Jeremiah and company eat beignets at Cafe du Monde and say they are not really donuts. Shelly contacts her birth mother via phone and is told a different story of why she was adopted, then wonders whom to believe. Afterwards several describe the feelings of being adopted. Dawn is troubled because her husband keeps contacting her, and Ada gives her some words of advice. When it comes time to set up the donut stand, the equipment doesn't work and Sabrina is a no-show.

Ada arrives and plugs in the equipment and they start selling donuts. The Bishop informs Mary that people are accusing her of trying to bribe her way back into the church by giving away Tupperware. Mary confronts her neighbor over this. Her neighbor thinks that Mary will just go back to being English as soon as the wedding is over, which Mary denies. Jeremiah takes the group out for a "historical" tour of New Orleans which turns out to be a tour of haunted houses. (Jeremiah knew it was a haunted tour all along.) This offends Lowell's beliefs and he quits the tour. Sabrina shows up the next morning with Mennonite dress and is ready to work, but is sent home because she was sick the day before and they don't want her handling food. Lowell gets a stylish haircut and new clothes. Jeremiah becomes more and more stressed and moody and takes it out on Carmela. Finally she has had enough and she leaves him.

Carmela agrees to meet Jeremiah and he apologizes for his behavior. No donuts will be sold today as they work through their issues, so Shelly uses the downtime to get a makeover. She wants to look English for her visit with her birth mother and also so she can go out on the town. She does not want to do anything permanent in case she wants to go back to being Mennonite. Afterwards she invites everyone to join her on a party bus. Sabrina gets sick again and goes to the hospital, and learns that she is pregnant and suffers a miscarriage. On her doctors' advice, she returns to Lancaster and enters a treatment program (and is doing well). Ada knows that Mary is the only one who can talk sense to Jeremiah and Carmela so she is invited to the house. Lowell tells his parents about Lisa's pregnancy and they are not happy about it. Mary takes a turn selling donuts and does very well. They pull up stakes and move to Nashville. Dawn feels comfortable there and gets a makeover, with Mary and Ada along for advice. Later her husband Keith shows up at the house and after some initial concern he decides to join Dawn as they all go out to clubs. They have a good time and Keith and Dawn rekindle their romance. All prepare to return home.

Ada invites everyone to her house and Lowell, Shelly and Dawn all state that they intend to leave the church. Lowell tells Lisa of his decision which disappoints her because she intends to remain in the church. Lowell tells his parents as well and they say he should stop coming around. As he is leaving he pets his dog who still accepts him. Shelly's boyfriend Matt proposes and she accepts. Dawn admits to Keith that she has been taking birth control pills all along and she intends to have a career and delay having children. She urges Keith to leave the church as well. Lisa distrusts the prenatal advice she has been receiving from her church midwife and she goes to an English facility, where she learns that she will be having twin boys. Shelly meets her birth mother and family, who tell her that her adoption was illegal because her birth mother never signed any papers while she was in prison. Shelly asks her Mennonite mother about this and she says its true that no papers were signed, but that her birth mother never came back to take responsibility after she was released from prison. This made Shelly respect her Mennonite mother even more. Mary learns that she has been reinstated in the Amish church.

The Mennonites bombard Shelly with religious tracts to try to convince her to stay in the church. Matt and Shelly shop for a suit and dress and are questioned about whether they are ready for marriage. Shelly invites her Mennonite mother to the wedding but doesn't know if she will come. Matt and Shelly meet with an African-American pastor but Matt admits to him that he is not very religious. While checking the wedding venue, Matt declares that he is not ready for marriage and leaves, but soon returns. He admits that his divorce from his ex-wife is not yet final. Shelly says they should marry now and legalize it later. Lisa gets a makeover for the wedding, but does not want Lowell to think she will stay that way. On the morning of the wedding their pastor calls and says he cannot perform the ceremony. Their friend Jonas agrees to do it. Shelly's Mennonite mother does attend the wedding, but later tells Jeremiah that she thought Shelly's dress was immodest. Shelly's feelings are hurt when she is told this. Lowell and Lisa's twins are born prematurely.

In the epilogue, Jeremiah and Carmela continue to go to marriage counseling. Jeremiah thinks the people he thought were his biological parents may not be related to him. He wants to take a DNA test and search for his real parents. Sabrina completed rehab and is in a new relationship. The twins are strong after 12 weeks in the NICU. Lisa's father unexpectedly left the Amish church which means she must help her mother more, and makes it harder for her to join Lowell in the English world. Shelly and Matt are adjusting to married life. Shelly learns that she has a biological sister in Arizona and is looking forward to meeting her. Dawn and Keith joined a Christian missionary trip to rekindle their marriage. Dawn's parents reconnected with her and accept her English lifestyle. Ada is gearing up for another donut season with Jeremiah and wants it to be successful. Mary reunited with her Amish son David and is accepted back in the Amish church ... for now.

Ada gathers her family and friends together at her home in Sarasota Florida to ride out the pandemic. We learn what has happened to the cast since the previous season. Sabrina is expecting again. Rosanna is overwhelmed by the reality of leaving her family and suffers a panic attack.

Jeremiah and Carmela travel to Ohio to connect with Dennis, who claims to be his biological father. Ada, Maureen and Rosanna enjoy a day at the beach. Jethro arranges a baby shower for Sabrina and plans to propose.

Jeremiah has to know if Dennis is really his biological father, and considers asking him to take a DNA test. Ada, Maureen and Rosanna go to work cleaning houses. Maureen and Rosanna go to dinner with some locals and wonder if they are truly curious about the Amish lifestyle with their questions or are mocking them. Sabrina goes into labor.

Sabrina delivers her baby Skyler. Maureen and Rosanna get into a heated argument. Jeremiah asks Dennis to take the DNA test, and he complies. Later Jeremiah views the results and throws the phone down.

Jeremiah learns that Dennis is not his father, and that his biological father was murdered. Maureen and Rosanna shop for swimsuits, and Rosanna makes a friend. The pandemic worsens in Florida and all but Sabrina and Jethro move to Ada's house in Pennsylvania. Sabrina is upset that Jethro has been texting other women and they have a fight and he leaves.

Rosanna and Maureen get complete English makeovers and are very happy with the results. Jeremiah is content now that he knows where he came from, and he and Carmela want to have a baby. Daniel proposes to Maureen and she accepts.
