Roarkes ultimate plan is to hold a Constitutional Convention.
Alex says theyll tackle this when it happens in 100 days.
Are we going to see a time jump in the finale?Yes.
The opening of the finale is just like last years finale, which encompassed the 22 episodes briefly.
Were jumping through 100 days in the first five minutes of it.
We were missing that thing, so it wasnt like we had something else planned…
So then we were like, Maybe its possible.
Just cause it never happened doesnt mean it cant happen.
Im very proud of that plot.
I believe its like a blockbuster movie plot from the 80s or 90s.
Alex says at the end of the episode that theyll have to be terrorists to make things work.
We had to go back, and we realized shehadsaid something similar.
So I always knew it was going to be that.
We dont see the aftermath of that speech.
Does anyone disagree with Alex over her plan?The team is all together.
When the finale opens, we jump through those 100 days quickly, and everyones on board.
As for Clay and Shelby, will we see Maxine again?Yes we will.
A lot transpires in the 100 days, in a way.
In this episode, Miranda, Will, and other season 1 characters returned.
Is there anybody else it’s possible for you to tease wholl pop up in the finale?Yes.
Next week is the season finale.
What were your goals for the season 2 finale?
I actually think its an incredibly strong finale, and I hope youll agree.
