For Tara she is seeing MJ for who he really is, not the label with which he is associated with, that of a murderer and rapist. She will have faith in him just like baba does and will hopefully stand behind him when the time comes. As for MJ, he hates Tara and thinks she's a liar and money hungry too boot, for why else would she marry a convict? These small interactions between the two will hopefully help them understand each other better when the time actually comes for them them to know their try identities. Although there is a high chance that MJ will probably continue with his hatred for Tara, he will at the very least have to think twice before judging her. In fact that the same could be said for Tara too...
So for the time being I have no problem (I did before😆) with Tara and Neil meeting up and getting to know the other a little better before Tara and MJ "officially" meet.😉
