We don't have a ton of details, but from what we know, her first marriage wasn't a very good one. At the very least, her ex husband didn't seem to care for her or Scary. Terry was the opposite. He cared so much for both of them.

In the first episode of the season, he made Scary lunch and tried to tell her how much he wanted to understand her.

When Scary got doodlerized, he was willing to stay out of their lives if it meant making Scary happy.

The first time the teens were in The City, he made attempt after attempt to try and support Scary like Ron had supported him - even in the face of his impending death.

And in these recent episodes, he immediately noticed the change in her demeanor. She wasn't his Scary, the one he loved endlessly without knowing if it was reciprocated. And even though he knew in his last moments that he wasn't speaking to Scary, he poured his heart out just in case she was in there somewhere.

Knowing the amount of love this man had for Scary (and the examples his father and stepfather set), I can only imagine how deeply he cherished Veronica.

And now, Veronica is home alone. She thinks her husband is on a business trip. She believes her daughter has run away - and their last phone call wasn't much of a reassurance.
