She not only encouraged Weller to stay in his cadet program, but she secretly funded his tuition.
Apparently, Weller is her star player.
What does this all mean?
EW turned to executive producer Martin Gero to get the scoop.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Weller found out about the Truman Protocol.
When I think of the name Truman I think ofThe Truman Show.
It’s very pivotal to the end game of phase 2 and of Shepherd’s plan.
You will find out what it is this season.
How will Weller knowing that his life was so orchestrated affect him?It freaks him out.
It makes him recontextualize everything, including whether he was meant to be an FBI agent or not.
It feels like his choices were guided by Shepherd looking out for him.
It comes from a benevolent benefactor.
So, he’s definitely really nervous about it.
That’s really chilling.
It’s unsettling, to say the least.
What’s going on there?I want the audience to read into it.
I think she’s fing with him, she’s really messing with his head a bit.
That was really something Michelle [Hurd] folded into it, but I think it works really well.
Of course, he was never going to do that, but it was worth a shot.
Shepherd tells Weller he’ll have no choice but to join her.
You’re not going to have to wait three seasons for all of this stuff to come to fruition.
Truman shows is pretty much it.
Omaha is basically like Daylight on steroids.
Weller tells Patterson not to use it.
Will she actually follow his order?Yeah.
He makes a very strong case.
They’re doing really good work because of all of this stuff that Shepherd has brought to their attention.
He’s a man of extraordinary morals, which is why Shepherd is so interested in him.
He’s not going to become his enemy just to take a stab at take them down.
Everyone she gets close to betrays her or gets killed.
So she’s trying to just like block it out, which is a terrible mistake.
But they’ve got to realize that they can’t run from their problems.
Reade’s doing cocaine now!
Is this a result of his guilt over the coach?
He was abused when he was a kid and he’s not dealing with it.
He thinks just because Coach Jones is dead that means the issue’s been solved when it hasn’t.
He still has to deal with all of the trauma.
Patterson’s throwing herself into work and he’s self-medicating basically.
