![]() What theories did you see out there that were amusing to you, that were so far off-base? TVLINE | We found out in that scene that the mysterious Annabelle is Martin’s gun. It’s primal, and it just punches you in the stomach. And Martin, not to empathize with him, to see him vulnerable… That scream that Blake Lee lets out, it’s a scream that one human should never hear another human make. Also, the heartbreak that he made her like him and then made her fall in what she thinks is love with him, and all of that was inappropriate, and now she’s in a position where in order to escape, possibly she has to kill someone… It’s just a journey, and that scene is designed to make you feel all of it. I wanted to see Kate save herself, I wanted to see Kate get a little bit of power. What was important for you to convey in that moment? TVLINE | There’s a very crucial and traumatizing scene with Kate and Martin in the basement. We’re seeing a first kiss and a little exploration into, “Is this romance?” You meet a few people in your life, and when you meet them, you think, “Oh, I’m going to be in this person’s life forever,” and I think they are that to each other. They have this indescribable chemistry and connection. I think we’re seeing the beginning of something. TVLINE | Kate is very quick to forgive Mallory, and after that moment where she kisses her, is it safe to say that Kate is in love with Mallory? I don’t think she really has an evil bone in her body, and even though she used to dislike Kate before Kate’s trauma, I think revealing a secret of a person that’s been kidnapped and just went through something is a line that she won’t cross. I think Mallory’s a very empathetic human. I think she is just that person who will do anything out of loyalty and goodness and protection. I hope by the end of 10, people come full-circle on Mallory and love her. So what was motivating Mallory to protect Kate? But what we learned is that she was protecting Kate’s secret even before she became friends with Kate. TVLINE | Leading into this episode, there were a lot of negative theories about Mallory and her involvement. She quickly does the math of what she has to gain, unfortunately, by Kate staying in the basement, and what she might have to lose in letting her out. TVLINE | In that moment when she hears Kate calling for help, what do you imagine is going through Jeanette’s mind? ![]() She really took that “no matter what” to heart, and how she feels about that in moments when it’s just her looking in the mirror, I’m not sure. It makes me feel bad for Jeanette that she has a secret like that… She was led to believe popularity and happiness and that she should strive for that, no matter what. TVLINE | What does it say about Jeanette as a person that she was capable of doing that, and that she has been keeping that secret and is now leading everyone to believe that she is a wronged woman? So we thought that was the sweet spot, that’s it. We wanted when the truth was fully revealed in the finale for it to be the most interesting ending possible, and we worked on a bunch of pitches, and that was the one that made everyone scream when they heard it. That final moment was something that we worked towards in the development process. TVLINE | What was the thinking behind that twist ending and undoing the idea that, up until that point in the finale, we’re led to believe that Jeanette really didn’t see Kate, and she was telling the truth? Plus, Napolitano hints at whether the recently renewed series will start a new story in Season 2. ![]() A chilling final scene revealed that she did, however, hear Kate begging for help from behind the basement door when she broke into the house again in 1994!īelow, showrunner Tia Napolitano breaks down that shocking ending, Kate and Mallory’s potential romance, and Kate and Martin’s final face-off. So it would appear that Jeanette was being honest… about not having seen Kate while she was being held captive.
