\n

Throughout Season 1 of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed<\/em><\/a>, Paula Sanders (Tatiana Maslany) has been through hell. She’s been scammed and arrested. She’s shot a man and become embroiled in a criminal conspiracy. And through it all, she’s been enduring a nasty custody battle with her ex, Carl (Jake Johnson), over her daughter, Hazel (Nola Wallace).<\/p>\n

That all comes to a head in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed<\/em>‘s Season 1 finale, which sees Paula and Carl officially go to court. Spoiler alert: Paula manages to keep custody of Hazel, but not before she’s publicly chewed out for her transactions with cam boy Trevor (Brandon Flynn).<\/p>\n

In a Say More interview with Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards, Maslany broke down the heated moment.<\/p>\n

“Reading [the scene], I’m like, oh, Paula’s in a situation where Carl would never be questioned for the affair he had, because his affair has landed him with a woman who has a lot of money and a good life,” Maslany explained.<\/p>\n

While Carl’s affair has brought him stability, Paula’s own sex life has “derailed” her, Maslany explained, putting her desires under the microscope.<\/p>\n

“The impulse to seek out connection or sexual gratification \u2014 that’s almost more on trial than anything else,” Maslany said of the custody hearing. “It’s a wonderful thing [for Paula] to be able to articulate, in sort of clumsy language, a retort to that, and that she doesn’t just acquiesce [and say], ‘Yes, I shouldn’t have done that, and I’m bad, and I’ll never do it again.'”<\/p>\n
