Between Lauren’s breakup and newfound sobriety, she had more than enough on her plate before her sister, Vanessa, comes crashing back into her life. Teasers for Season 5 hint that the sibling duo will be forced to come to terms with their “complicated relationship.”
In an article published by TVLine, showrunners described Vanessa as “a wild child who refuses to grow up, get a job, stay sober, and play by the rules.”
David Schulner elaborated, “As we approach the end of the series, we wanted to give each character the opportunity to heal their deepest wounds. For Bloom, it was abandoning her sister to save herself.”

However, according to David, Bloom’s surprise visit from her sister was her “worst nightmare.” The executive producer added, “Now Bloom has to confront the damage done and see if she can repair it — even if it means sacrificing her hard-won sobriety.”
