"Tammy is like a whole new person, physically, mentally. And she's changed. She's more mouthy now than she used to be... in a good way," stated 1000-lb Sisters star Darlene.

In August 2024, Tammy revealed that she had lost 500 pounds after undergoing bariatric surgery two years earlier.

During the mother-daughter outing, Darlene enquired about Tammy's love life. For context, Tammy had come out of the closet in the earlier episodes of season 7. Despite worries that her family wouldn't approve, Tammy revealed that she was romantically interested in girls. The 1000-lb Sisters star told Darlene that she wanted to introduce Andrea to the family.

"The first person I want Andrea to meet is my mother. My mom is the most important person in my life. But I haven't told her I am in a relationship," expressed Tammy.

While talking to the producers, Tammy revealed that even she was confused about whether her mother knew that Andrea was her girlfriend. She also believed that if Andrea met her mother, it would signify the next step in their relationship.

Speaking of relationships, Tammy's sister, Amy, got engaged to her boyfriend Brian Lovvorn in the latest episode.

The couple went to a haunted house in Henderson, Kentucky, with Tammy and Misty. Amy revealed that she had jokingly mentioned to Brian during their early years that he should propose to her in a haunted house. Little did she know, he would do exactly that, and she would say yes. Brian proposed to Amy after five months of knowing each other.

Afterward, Tammy sat down with the newly engaged couple and expressed her concerns regarding their relationship. The 1000-lb Sisters star said that she thought they should slow down, as it was still early for the two. Amy initially agreed with the sentiment and recalled expressing the same thought to Tammy.

"I do have the tendency to rush into things. Me and Michael [her ex-husband], we were together for a week before we started looking at engagement rings," said Amy in a confessional.

Amy compared her situation to others having arranged marriages set up for them. She felt she was still slower than those people, as they had no idea about their spouses until the day of their wedding. As everyone said farewell, Amy opened up to Brian and sensed that Tammy and Misty were upset about their engagement.

Amy had previously been married to Michael Halterman, with whom she shares her two sons, Gage and Glenn. Talking about the situation, Amy started crying as she felt that everyone in her family became upset over actions easily.
