Jeremy Sisto<\/a>) but he turns it down. Jubal warns him that he can only do that so many times.<\/p>\nBelow, Mike Weiss breaks down the finale and looks ahead to Season 2.<\/p>\n
Was it always the plan from the start that Toni would be alive and come back in this way?<\/strong><\/p>\nMike Weiss:<\/strong> It was my plan. Yeah, I had a secret plan from the beginning. People were read in on the plan on a need-to-know basis. But yeah, I thought it\u2019s a great way to take a veteran intelligence officer, Colin, and shake him to his core. A spy is only as good and as safe as his or her gut instincts can keep them. And so the idea was the woman that he loved was murdered a year ago in Mindanao in the Philippines and he spent the last year on a self-directed top-secret mission to find out who killed her and why. And then when we reveal that she\u2019s alive and she could have picked up a phone and called him at any point, I think he spins out and all of a sudden he can\u2019t trust his instincts. Lucky for him, he\u2019s got a new partner in Bill Goodman who is there to stabilize him at a moment when he\u2019s absolutely lost. And so I think the Toni storyline was fun spycraft, but it was also a way to shake up a character who thought he knew exactly who he was on a really deep level.<\/p>\nSo how does Colin feel about his agency keeping Toni in play at the end there? Because he\u2019s looking in that room and now it\u2019s the time that he can say what he wants without being in the middle of all the action and danger. But what does he want to say to her?<\/strong><\/p>\nWell, it is tough, right? He knows that what Bill says at the end of the episode is true. If he\u2019s taught Bill one thing, it\u2019s that the CIA works with complicated people and Toni is nothing if not complicated. I think he kind of said everything that he wanted to say to her into that bug that he finds in his apartment. I think that what he\u2019d like to say to her going forward might be as simple as, \u201cI don\u2019t trust you and I\u2019ll never trust you no matter what you do.\u201d And so her storyline for Season 2, because we do want to fold her into the show, weave her into Season 2, she now needs to prove herself to the CIA and then on a human level to Colin.<\/p>\n
Would she be recurring or series regular?<\/strong><\/p>\nRecurring. We would weave her into some stories. We haven\u2019t fully figured out how many episodes we would see her in, but we love the actress and she is a dream to work with. So why not write for her as often as we can?<\/p>\n
Was Bill seriously tempted to take that ASAC position or was he surprised perhaps that he wasn\u2019t? Because he\u2019s really settled in at that fusion cell and working with Colin.<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s interesting when all of a sudden that original path that you were walking down, that FBI path, all of a sudden someone comes calling from the institution that you thought you were going to dedicate your life to and reminds you, \u201cHey, you\u2019re still an FBI agent.\u201d And he is still an FBI agent. And so Bill\u2019s path for Season 2 is, am I a career fusion cell member? Am I going to live in the shadows? And if I do live in the shadows, how do I maintain my humanity in a world that is being revealed to me to be a lot spookier and a lot scarier than I had realized?<\/p>\n
So with that in mind, what\u2019s Bill and Colin\u2019s path in Season 2 as partners now? Now that they do trust each other?<\/strong><\/p>\nOur goal for Season 2 is to shake up Bill. In Season 1, we shook Colin to the core, and in Season 2, we\u2019re going to take Bill\u2019s perfectly ordered, buttoned up life where he wears a little American flag lapel pin every day and shake it up and see what he\u2019s made of when that happens.<\/p>\n

And then see how Colin is there for him like we saw Bill being there for Colin?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe know that Colin is going to be able to be there for him, but we also know that Colin is a purveyor of tough love. And so I think it\u2019ll be really interesting to see Colin\u2019s version of being there when Bill finds it all coming unglued.<\/p>\n
Switching over to their love lives for a minute, because Colin was forced to be honest with Sarah (Sarah Diamond), whereas Bill\u2019s still keeping quite a bit about his job from Katie (Caroline Pluta). So is that the last we\u2019ll see of Sarah in Colin\u2019s life and how much longer can Bill maintain the relationship he has with Katie while lying to her?<\/strong><\/p>\nI don\u2019t know yet. It\u2019s early days. We\u2019re just getting started on Season 2. We love Bill and Katie together, but she didn\u2019t get engaged to an intelligence officer who has to keep big parts of his life secret from her. You wouldn\u2019t blame her for saying, \u201cThat\u2019s not what I signed up for.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Colin and Sarah, I think Sarah meant it when she said, \u201cI never want to see you again,\u201d after Colin was revealed to be who he truly is, but it\u2019s television and maybe fate will place them in each other\u2019s orbits again and this go around they\u2019re going to be able to have a much more honest conversation about who they are. And if they do, in fact, still have feelings for each other, it\u2019ll be a totally different version of their relationship now that she has been clued in to Colin\u2019s incredibly complicated truth.<\/p>\n
Will everyone be back for Season 2 and are you going to be adding any major new characters?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe want to expand the world of the CIA. We only made 12 episodes in Season 1. We\u2019re going to be making 22 episodes in Season 2 and there are a lot of desks and experts and analysts and intelligence officers that work in the building that we haven\u2019t introduced you to yet. And we\u2019d love to keep building out the world of the show as we move forward.<\/p>\n
