Tova:
I don't think Dora was "wrong." I think she was acknowledging by what she should do in the long term, just as you remarked she should do.
She wasn't saying that she needed to have opened up in that specific instance, nor in every instance Tai demands it.
Edit: yay, smartphone word auto-correct :/

I think that Jeph is giving us a message here. Two adults can have a disagreement and then make up. There doesn't have to be a prolonged separation, cold silences and mediation. Sometimes, a heartfelt apology, clear understanding of the problem and a hug is enough.
Because this is QC, we also get a butt joke! :wink:
Personally, I don't think that Tai even needed Marten's help. It's just that he's become her 'Dr Relationship'; she needed him to confirm that she was on the right track as to her next move. I think the body language of both her and Dora are lovely here. We can see clearly how much this argument upset them both and how sorry that they were. I suspect that this relationship may have legs.

Look at the angle of her body. She's leaning forwards and it's making her backside stick out.

Just because it might better if we did it a thing, does it follow that we should do that thing? While I think there's decent scientific evidence to support the idea that being more open and less defensive leads to better outcomes, my personal experiences have not tracked to that evidence.
It turns out that being more open only leads to improved outcomes when your support group is actually supportive. I don't think Dora's best choice is more open and less defensive. It might be. It might not be. So when I say I think she's wrong, I'm saying I shade more towards "it might not be." YMMV, of course.
Zog:
I think that many of Tai's annoying traits are in a way related to her endearing traits. Most of the things I like about her stem from her childlike behaviour. Sometimes she crosses the line and acts childish, one of the negative traits of children is selfishness.
