To guide us through our binging, the cast and crew will be takingEWbehind the scenes.
Theyll take turns sharing their thoughts on what went into making each episode.
Here, writer Cara DiPaolo takes us through episode 3, The Cats Out.

Well, the cats out of the bag, folks both in the literal sense (poor Bonkerz!)
and the figurative one (Caroline!
Who saw that coming?).
And yes, he did claim to have been part of the Dixie Mafia.
But either way, it makes for a great story.
On a brief tangent, I have to say that Tig is a veritable fount of great stories.
Ive never met someone whose every day existence is so organicallycinematic.
Its almost like shes not a real person just a compilation of amazing scenes in a riveting movie.
Almost every time she told a story in our writers room, wed be like lets just shoot that.
Anyway, back to business.
Up until now, Bill seemed pretty much devoid of emotion.
I would even go so far as to say he was a robot.
His upset over Bonkerz absence felt like the first real sign of a person in there.
(On a side note, can we take a moment to celebrate the great John Rothman?
Hes truly a national treasure.)
Mick seems to feel everythingtoodeeply.
The other thing that excited me about this episode is, of course, Tig discovering her half-brother.
(I even feel sometimes like I dont know myself.
But thats a story for another time… over drinks… and a secret smoke.)
The puzzle of who Caroline is/was is something that carries us throughout the season.
Its all so frustratingly unknowable!
(Or perhaps a revelation for season 2?)
This was a real thing for her.
After her mastectomy she couldnt/wouldnt look at her scars for many weeks.
She was afraid she was grotesque… unlovable.
I think the honesty of this moment plays so poignantly in her eyes.
