9-1-1is known (nay, celebrated) for its jaw-dropping twists and turns and last Thursday did not disappoint.
So I thought, ‘I’m going to put this aside.
I’m not even going to look at it.’

And, ultimately, “it wasn’t that hard on the day,” he explains.
I think that’s what good acting is.
It’s a game of tennis.

I give her something and she serves me something back that I never saw or thought of before.
It’s kind of just that reactive way of interacting with each other that feeds good storylines."
But what did he think about the identical non-twin storyline when it was first revealed to him?

Here’s what Guzman has to say about it all.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your first thought when they told you about the Kim storyline?
And how would that affect an individual.
So that’s what we did.
Eddie had no opportunity to question.
He just leaned in fully, because he wanted to believe this lie.
What was most important to you as you filmed the scene where Kim pretends to be Shannon?
It was more about “He wants to hold this back.
He doesn’t want to let this thing go.”
Do you think the conversation made Eddie feel better or worse?
I believe that it is only made things worse.
How am I going to have that conversation?
Now, obviously, my relationship with my soul [meaning Christopher] is gone.
I’m living in a new land now.
I think for Eddie, it’s kind of the passing of torches from one obstacle to the next.

What was going through Eddie’s head when Christopher comes in and says “Mom?!”
There’s nothing I’ll be able to do to justify that."
He wasn’t there for trying to develop good communication with [Shannon].
Now I think that hole just gets even bigger for him.
Just, “Oh my God, maybe I’m not the guy.
There’s always going to be that kind of layer to Eddie.
So what’s next?
Yes, the duality of life.
Nothing happens just as easy as we’d hope.
It doesn’t happen one at a time.
The9-1-1season 7 finale, “All Fall Down,” airs Thursday at 8 p.m.
