Interview
Talk about Roman’s decision to side with Shepherd. Is he fully with her or is there a part of him that’s torn?
I think he’s torn. Oddly enough, for a homicidal maniac, Roman is probably the most sympathetic character this year, because, like Jane last year, his destiny has not been his own. He’s had a terrible childhood, raised by a monster, and then had his memory erased by ostensibly the only person that he loved or that loved him. He’s furious at Jane and is remembering why she erased his memory, which is even worse. I think Shepherd’s plea to him late in this episode, where she was like, “I would never try to control you; everything I’ve done has been because I love you,” in a f—ed up way, he believes that and knows that to be true. So he went with the person who didn’t erase his memory and hasn’t been lying to him non-stop, but it’s a rough decision.
