Chatting to TVLine about the future of their relationship, Tim Minear said: "Of course there’s going to be some scar tissue. T.K. was right about Carlos being a complete control freak. He’s also a little repressed, and he likes things neat and tidy, while T.K. is a little more of a force for chaos in some ways. Not everything is going to be perfect, and it’ll have its ebbs and flows like any relationship. They’ll have problems to work out, but I think they’re solid."

Speaking about their initial split, he added: "Was it about the apartment? Yes, but it’s also about T.K., who’s an addict… When you’re an addict, things aren’t the most dangerous when they’re bad. It’s when things are too good that you tend to sabotage yourself. T.K. made a lot of valid points, but he also has a history of derailing himself.

"There’s a self-destructive streak in addicts. So this problem couldn’t be insurmountable. It had to be something relatable that was also a choice. And I didn’t want there to be infidelity, or for T.K. to have a relapse. It had to be something simple and stupid. That was important to me."

Are you a fan of the show?

Fans have taken to Twitter to swoon over the couple's reunion, with one writing: "TK fell asleep on Carlos instead of just going back to bed?? I love them sm," while another added: "I just know they’re about to feed us some TK in 3x07 and 3x08 because we’ve been lacking these past couple episodes."
