ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We learned who killed Cal.
Is there any more to Not Trent’s story or is it pretty much self-contained within this episode?
But yeah, that’s the completion of his story.
Sarah Shahi and Julianne Nicholson on ‘Paradise’.Brian Roedel/disney
No, not necessarily, but pretty much his story has been told.
We end with a big decision from Xavier going out to look for Teri.
What might he find out there and how much is this going to disrupt the world inside Paradise?

It’s a really big deal.
I think of this coming season as the middle episode in our trilogy.
So it’sThe Empire Strikes Back.The first season had two mysteries who killed the President?

And what happened in the outside world, why was this bunker built?
Is she out there?
What is her story?

Those are two stories we’re telling in a much bigger story.
Why does Jane care so much about Cal’s Wii.
Is she just a psychopath?
It’s a question that we’re going to keep asking about, Jane.
Is this a psychopath or sociopath?
Is there something deeper going on here?
She says to [Sinatra], ‘You shouldn’t have called me f—ing crazy.’
Is there something bigger in play?
Did she have loyalty to Xavier?
What stops her from hurting Xavier’s kids?
Is it a moral code?
Is she playing Sinatra?
Is it something we’re unaware of?
That’s the next question that comes, right?
Is she playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers?
That’s probably the clearest answer of why she might not have killed Presley.
I’ve already killed James Marsden and Jon Beavers.
I’m bringing Julianne Nicholson back into the show.
So, she’s not dying and she’s not going to be in a vegetative state.
But she is gravely wounded.
This young woman who’s maybe a much more dangerous version of herself has taken her out.
Even when she loses control, she quickly gains it back.
How much is that going to be weighing on Sinatra?
She clearly does not actually know Jane.
She does not know Jane.
She’s the only person left who knows what happened in that room with Sinatra.
It’s a complicated dynamic we’ll get back to next year.
Disney/Brian Roedel
Sinatra tells Dr. Torabi (Sarah Shahi), “I’ve done terrible things.”
Does any part of her see herself as a villain even though she believes in her choices?
She’s starting to come to terms with what she’s done.
She obviously didn’t expect to order the killing of a child.
But there’s this moment where she says, “God forgive me.”
She’s a very complicated character trying to do something very big.
What might lay ahead for him?
I assume he’s going to want to tell the town what’s up?
Is that going to put him in danger?
These are big questions of who assumes a power vacuum when Sinatra’s out.
Often the revolutions are led by the young.
Every great song or every great revolution, it was often led by kids.
A fire has been lit under this kid.
His father said, “If you don’t like the world I built, fix it.”
And it could put him in a fair amount of danger.
Did you run projections with scientists?
How likely is this catastrophe depicted in episode 7?
What can you tease for us about season 2?
Sterling’s journey is intense and surprising and emotional.
