Jordin Althaus/NBC
BILL KREBS:A little bit of triage.
We all gathered to go, “What do we have?”
BANS:“What do we have, what do we do?”
You just make do.
We did everything possible to end the season on a promise of what’s to come.
Is it as spectacular as [episode] 16 would’ve been in terms of excitement level?
But does it tell you a little bit about where we’re going?
And make you excited to watch more?
BANS:We do.
We were never going to do that [in season 3].
We loved where we were going in the last five episodes.
We’re excited about it.
KREBS:You get a finale as your premiere.
I think we’re gonna make it pretty seamless.
Am I supposed to be over Rio (Manny Montana)?
Because I still love him… KREBS:We want you to be conflicted!
KREBS:“Why do I still have these feelings?”
BANS:“Why do I still have these feelings?
BANS:You don’t.
They’ve been at each other’s throats for 11 episodes.
The last five were really going to take us in a new direction.
You don’t go from having the hottest sex of your life to wanting someone dead without conflicted feelings.
KREBS:You don’t stop thinking about bathroom sex.
BANS:I don’t think we will ever break them up.
They represent the relationship we should all have.
KREBS:We like testing it and seeing how big the moat is around their fortress.
Can anything get in there?
We like dancing around all of that because they are such a perfect couple.
There’s now an FBI agent in town.
What can you preview about where that would go in a fourth season?
KREBS:It becomes more than the case.
Her relationship with Beth, in particular, gets very, very complicated.
Bill and I keep calling them frenemies.
It definitely goes unexpected places.
