Yes and no...
To be fair, it can be missed entirely. But as somebody who wasn't happy with the last two updates and thinks that the game is poorly designed when it comes to the use of Filthy and Lesbian points and how they relate to Ellie and Patricia, this latest update was actually a lot better. There were no offending moments from what I could tell via several playthroughs, no mysteriously hidden scenes the player could miss, and not only was there a decent sex scene and Sophia actually not being as much of a prude in the latter half, but there were quite a few branching paths and options toward during said latter half as well. And they were all generally well implemented and made sense, while also giving proper control to the player and making things clear to them. I especially liked how a completely plastered Sophia could just automatically sabotage her own revenge against the subway thugs.
We'll see how things go from here I guess, but none of the moments and/or requirements in this update felt unreasonable and counter-intuitive.
