![]() Kate does still have to deal with the fact that she shot Martin, which you could say is another way he made her a victim, by it being something else she really didn’t have a choice in, right?Īgree, 100 percent. No, that came shortly around the time we rolled camera on Episode 2, we had kind of added that wrinkle to the final reveal. She’s in a good space so that their first kiss could be coming from a place of pure joy.ĭid you always know Mallory was going to have been there that night? And we waited until Kate has processed her trauma. We didn’t know at first about Kate and they just consistently delivered this amazing magic between them and we knew that we wanted to honor that story in a real way. Once Harley, who plays Mallory, and Olivia, who plays Kate, got in a room together doing scenes, they had this chemistry and we knew that Mallory was queer.

Looking at that reveal, what did you want to say about who Jeanette and Kate are as people considering there was this question of who’s the victim throughout the season? And from a character study, I just thought that was the weirdest, most interesting complex choice of a thing to let us understand about Jeanette. So we really wanted to leave it all on the field. Tia Napolitano: We made a commitment early on to give the audience every piece of the puzzle that we knew. Then in the final moments, you keep doing that… but you also reveal that Jeanette knew Kate was in that basement.
