“Mistress New Mistress” was a massive episode ofEmerald City.

Three stuntwomen had to free-fall from the top of a giant.

And, spoiler alert, a major character took an even greater fall.

But, for me, my favorite “explosions” were the quiet ones between our characters.

Dorothy confided in Lucas for the first time, recounting the moment she found out she was adopted.

Then there wasThe Wizard Of Oz.

Or, rather, the man behind the curtain.

Heated arguments (for nearly a year) between Universal, NBC, and myself.

All because of a quiet moment.

Where director Tarsem Singh’s camera barely moved.

And the truth finally came out.

We couldn’t promote them.

They didn’t make the sizzle reel.

But they shook the very foundation beneath our character’s feet.

We hope you enjoyed this episode ofEmerald City.

Emerald Cityairs Fridays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
