Beth and her husband Rip cannot have children. Beth was sterilized after she got pregnant in her teenage.
She can’t bear children as her brother, Jamie, helped her abort the baby when she got pregnant with Rip’s baby, but because of the clinic’s policy, he also sterilized her so that she couldn’t get pregnant in the future again.
As fans of the show already know that Beth can’t stand the presence of her brother around her, and she absolutely hates everything related to him.
The reason behind this behavior of the female lead was kept under the curtains for a long time in the series. However, the reason behind this rift between brother and sister was revealed in the third season of the series.
During a flashback scene, viewers are made aware that Beth had a consensual relationship with her boyfriend, Rip, in the past, and as a result, she got pregnant with his baby.
She was only in her teenage so, she got terrified and went to her brother, Jamie, for help. He took her to a native American clinic for the abortion, but the clinic required sterilization if they wanted a successful abortion.
Jamie didn’t want to spread the news to other people, so he agreed to the deal and never told his sister about it.
When Beth discovered the actual reason behind her infertility, she became furious and upset with her brother. She is still angry with him and claims that she cannot forgive him for this deed that he has done with her in the past.
