How did you land on last week's reveal with Stephen's father just steps away?
I always imagined that we would get to him much sooner than we did, but it became so much more delicious because as soon as dad returns in whatever sense, he can answer questions for Stephen and we had fun playing the mystery of who to trust to keep Stephen's head spinning. We kept his father just out of reach. You have to watch the entire season to find out what went down between these three men: Jedikiah, The Founder and Stephen's father.
It seems like there's a grander plan that we don't know all the pieces of quite yet between Roger and Jedikiah. What can you divulge?
We do know for a fact that Jedikiah killed his brother -- at least had him killed by John. We'll gradually figure out the reasoning behind that. It was a cold calculation but it was also a heartbreaking decision and it's one that humanizes Jedikiah in a really tragic but beautiful way. We learn a lot about the relationship between these two brothers. As the season comes to a close, you'll find the back story of what drove Stephen's father into limbo. That becomes Stephen's present-day struggle and it's an eerie version of history repeating itself. If something was dire and dangerous enough for Roger to literally risk death to prevent it, Stephen has to inherit that burden himself.
