Amish in the City
This show follows Amish youth in a rite of passage known as rumspringa which means "running wild". Amish people at the age of 16 leave their homes and communities and test the outside world and enjoy the things forbidden in the Amish world. They must then determine whether or not to return to the Amish life. This show follows five Amish and five non-Amish living together in this process.

In the season finale of Amish in the City: Jonas gets his GED results, and passes it with top marks: 99% in math, 98% in writing, and 99% in reading. There are some problems with Harley, who pees in the house. The group go on a sailing trip. Kevan and Jonas go to a college and visit some classes so that Jonas can explore his options. Whitney, Mirium, and Ruth also visit a college, since Whitney and Ruth are thinking of going to nursing school. Everyone is reminisces about the times they've had together, and there are a lot of decisions to be made. Mose makes everyone a neat, handmade, wooden gift, and sends them all on a scavenger hunt inside the house to get them. Reese and Kevan make amends and hug. For a last hurrah, they all get to go to a club's VIP section, where the music booker has a talk with Nick and Mose about starting a music career, but Nick fails to see the value of good advice he is getting and acts like an ass. On their last night the group watch the July 4 fireworks from their balcony, and they all have a last group talk they should've had earlier. Kevan and the other city kids end on good terms. In the morning, everyone starts to depart. In the end, this is what everyone decides: Ariel: Goes back to her regular life. She thinks her and Nick will stay friends but doesn't know where their relationship will go. Kevan: Decides he will go to law school and become a lawyer. He is very happy he helped Jonas pass the GED. Meagan: Is very happy with harley, and goes back to her old life. Reese: Appreciates all that he has seen and done in the house, and goes back to his old life. Nick: Decides he wants to pursue his music career in LA, and decides he will stay with Meagan or Reese. Whitney: Decides she will go to nursing school. Mose: The big city life is not for him, but he probably won't go back to the Amish. He wants to move to the country and meet a nice girl. Jonas: Is not going back to the Amish. He wants to go to college. Randy: Will go back to his construction job, and might go back to the Amish is he meets a nice Amish girl. Mirium: Won't go back to the Amish yet, she still wants to see more. Ruth: Will go back if her boyfriend goes back.
