ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you know you wanted Angela, or Regan, to get repossessed?
JEREMY SLATER:That was part of my plan from the beginning.
It would be a waste of Geena Davis talents and this iconic horror character.

And it felt like the most obvious and satisfying answer was,Lets give the demon what it wants.
And she was really looking for the opportunity to do some evil things.
And as you saw, she kind of sunk her teeth into the role.

Shes a really, really fun bad guy.
Will Father Tomas be able to take her on without Marcus help?
Things definitely dont look good for Father Tomas going into our finale.
He is not the exorcist.
He is not well equipped.
Its a permanent possession.
Even Father Marcus has said that integration is permanent.
Its something you cant come back from.
So Father Marcus alone in that room would be outmatched.
And what is in store for Marcus?
What is he up against?
Marcus is in a pretty bad state.
He figured out the villains plans just a fraction too late.
He was caught off guard.
So Marcus is caught between a rock and a hard place.
There isnt a great third option for him.
How is she dealing with that going forward?
I wasnt expecting her to stick around as long as she did.
But its exciting to see what she gets up to next.
Shes a fun character to write for because shes so unpredictable.
Lets write more scenes for her where Maria can be a little more sphinx-like and inscrutable.
And again, youre not quite sure what side shes calling.
With Angela now fully integrated, is there another exorcism in the cards?
Youre going to see anew kind of exorcism.
Knowing that youre always going to be reading from the same Latin rites and sprinkling holy water.
The Exorcistseason finale airs Friday, Dec. 16 at 9 p.m.
