I guess I just answered my own question there.

So all those things combined made the episode about illusion, and all the stories fell into place.

Theres so much deception, but the episode has a lighter tone.

As you promised, we now have learned major details about Harry.

They dont do the clandestine training that were seeing our people do, but we liked the idea.

And youll soon meet Harrys handlerl, who is a great great actor we very much enjoy working with.

Does this mean well be meeting other intelligence agencies as well?

Maybe youll somehow revive the KGB?

[Laughs] No.

Its funny, I just think of twist as a dirty word now.

Does this mean hes evolving to support them?

That hes willing to help them instead of harming them every chance he gets?

He is his own intelligence agency.

He sort of has that loneliness of James Bond, although with a little more fun…

Lets move on to Owen.

Was this story inspired by any real-life events, like the Valerie Plame case?

Yes, a little bit.

For Owen, its been 15 years of still working for the company but being landlocked.

Hes jealous of her but also proud of her, and those are the complications theyre in.

Hes going to do his research into that.

Is this an invitation to join the AIC?

I believe Alex takes it as an invitation.

Whether or not itisone, well discover very soon.

In the present, we also see how Shelby and Leon connect.

What can you tease about that relationship going forward?

And youll understand why Shelby goes back to that diner in the very next episode.

Theres a really incredibly beautiful scene between her and Nimah that explains it.

In the future timeline, we see that Will is also on Mirandas side.

How would you describe them?

Ithink the AIC is pretty bad, but that all depends.

Will we find out who helped Alex at the very end?

You might have to wait a little while to figure that out.

Also fun: This episode had some sly, sexy scenes.

Can you tell me more about putting those scenes together?

How do you choose these couplings, orthroupling, in the latter case?

[Harry and Will] was so fun.

Getting the three of them together, that comes from last year.

They were just having a fun night.

We always wanted to do just an offhanded threesome to wink at that in this episode.

I did love seeing Jake and Russell just having their arms around Priyanka together.
