* Tuca's visit to her family ends with another fight with Terry, and it seems like the two sisters will never really reconcile. However, after the visit to Bertie's parents, Tuca realizes she'd rather talk out her problems with her sister as opposed to just bottling things up until they explode. So she invites Terry to a cafe, pretending they're strangers meeting for the first time, so they can have a mature conversation. It ends with Terry not only admitting she knows she's a "huge bitch" who is just as much to blame for the friction as Tuca, but that she ''is'' impressed with Tuca staying sober. Terry admits that their clashing personalities will mean they'll likely always fight, but Tuca reassures her that that's just part of being in their family. The sisters part on good terms.

He even confesses that he has taboo interests of his own (namely, a fetish for baking). Neither of them judge each other, and they open up to incorporating these "taboo" sexual interests into a healthier intimate setting.
