Can you imagine running into someone at the mall that has your exact same face? Well that’s exactly how it happened for Tia and Tamera (in the show, of course, not real life!). Separated at birth, these twins are shocked to find each other in a mall. Wearing similar clothes, they drive one of the mall workers crazy as he goes back and forth trying to help the twins who he thinks are the same girl. This moment sets up the premise of the show, as well as the kind of situational comedy that was upcoming.
#9: Verique
“Model Tia”
This lighthearted family comedy was not afraid to also dive into some deep and disturbing topics. In an episode warning against the dangers of the Internet, Tia's online friend offers her a modeling gig and Tamera decides to take him up on it, with Tia following closely behind. But they quickly learn that the man who lured the twins to his apartment with ill intent is not the famous photographer Verique at all. As he says himself, thanks to the Internet he can be whoever he wants. How times haven’t changed.

While reminiscing on past loves, Ray and Lisa get swept up in the moment and kiss. With all the mounting tension and growing chemistry between them, this moment was inevitable, but that doesn't make it any less shocking. Shocked themselves, Ray and Lisa both immediately freak out, and are thrown into a panic and literally run away from each other.

Tackling yet another heavy subject matter, the twins take on a sexist school rule saying that only boys can try out for the hockey team. To battle the school policy, and put their chauvinistic male classmates in their place, Tia and Tamera disguise themselves as boys and try out for the hockey team. Not only do they play well enough to make the team, they skate circles around their male counterparts. Then they shed their boyish disguises to show the erstwhile macho men who actually beat them, showing that girls can compete in sports with boys, no problemo.

Not used to all the attention, Roger dates both Tia and Tamera, as well as all the other girls in school, who end up fighting over him.

Though initially discouraged, Tia and Tamera rally their teammates and make the most out of their situation. They turn the C-Squad into the team that the A-Squad is envious of.

#3: When Tamera Sings "I'm Going Down" at the School Talent Show
“The Audition”
Top 10 Shocking Drag Race Talent Show Moments
It’s always great when we get to see actors lend some of their other talents to their characters. So getting to see Tamera sing is a real treat. But this moment also gives us a double whammy, with the usually lighthearted and carefree Tamera getting to show off her more dramatic side. Tamera plans on singing "I'm Going Down" for a big audition, but she is too blissfully happy with her boyfriend to deliver a soulful and profound performance… that is, until she thinks about the high school bully stealing her boyfriend, and she channels all that hurt into her art and steals the show.

While Ray and Lisa try to help the twins find out about their birth parents, they find a mural their mother painted. Though it wasn't what they were expecting, it’s a beautiful peek into their birth mother's heart.
