Since the Be-star is at present again (still) in its Be phase, there is the chance to observe the so-called "triple peak" in Halpha. This "triple-peak-phase" has been observable in the past twice (see: EW-Monitoring_triple-peak.png).
At present spectra of A. Stiewing, J. Martin, A. Favaro and E. Bryssinck show this since November 2019 to now (see: Triple peak spectra.png).
It seems, that this "triple-peak-phase" occures only at times, when the circum stellar disk does have a certain level in mass and/or volume. The physicall causes seems to be unclear. That´s why our professionall colleague Thomas Rivinius (ESO Chile) does have a high interest in monitoring spectra of zeta Tau. Because of that it would be importand to take spectra during the next months.

The origin (i.e., the physical process giving rise to those profiles) and nature (three distinct emission components vs. self-absorption overlapping with an emission component) of the triple-peaked profiles are puzzling issues that, together with the shell-line profile perturbations highlighted here, deserve some discussion.
For comparison, a triple-peak spectrum from 2007-11-28 in:
