“Is it gonna hurt?”
“I don’t remember.”
A panicked Alex jumps in a nearby boat and rows out into the water.

Walter demands that Geist do something to stop all this, and they team up to do just that.
At the completion of Bunda’s speech, the punch is flowing and everyone immediately collapses.
Alex puts her cup down before sipping and looks over at Audrey, who hasn’t drank hers yet.

“I will,” she responds.
“I just know what it’s like to wake up like that.
She sits back down next to an unconscious Audrey.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets start at the end with a simple question: Worst party ever?
MICAH BLOOMBERG:[Laughs] I guess it depends on what you’re into.
What does that scene look like minutes later?
If the police show up, these would be the worst possible eyewitnesses.
BLOOMBERG:Yeah, that’s probably a good jumping-off point for next season.
Like, what do you do with all these people?
So there’s a lot of work to be done with those people.
What is the state of all those people?
Like, Alex was completely wiped, while Walter was just missing a gap.
Is it a case-by-case basis?
ELI HOROWITZ:There’s some wiggle room.
But I’d say it would be closer to the Walter dose.
It’s the overdose but not the injection.
But it’s flexible.
Everyone else has been having this more pharmaceutical-grade versions, whereas this is concentrated, straight from the earth.
How should we view Walters actions?
Its both “Oh wow, thats kind of messed up” and “Hell yeah!”
There were plenty of guilty parties in attendance, but there were probably at least one or two innocents.
BLOOMBERG:It kind of reminds me of what Heidi did.
Even discussions like, “How bad should the Geist employees seem?”
so that the viewers have a sense of bearing about the consequences of what Geist and Walter were doing.
And so there were was some definite collateral damage there.
Does she think she deserves it?
Or maybe that they should be on equal ground?
HOROWITZ:Yeah, I think it’s all those things.
She doesn’t even know this person anymore, so she’s still getting her mind around that.
And I think she is seeing how single-minded Audrey has become in the moments before that fateful toast.
Talking to Stephan, he didnt initially think hed be back.
And what did you want to accomplish with him in his return?
You easily could have left him with what seemed like a happy ending at the conclusion of season 1.
HOROWITZ:We had a variety of second seasons.
We were definitely glad that we were able to build around him.
We’re very much improvising this stuff as we go to a certain extent.
Season 2 ends with Walter looking through Heidi’s files and then driving off.
What is his mission now?
He looks much more interested in the names of his fellow patients than he does in Heidi’s name.
Whether the camera is pointed in this direction, I guess we will see.
That’s a non-answer that you get.
Like I said, there are a lot of names on this list, Heidi among them.
She obviously wasn’t in season 2, but is there a chance we see her again?
And we will have to see where we pick up as we go along.
Clearly it jogged something, but he wasnt like pretending that he didn’t know who she was.
Does he remember on a subconscious level?
Is this just a dynamic that happens when two specific individuals get together?
And to us, those are still very open.
They essentially don’t even know each other at this point.
BLOOMBERG:Oh, man.
Well, the best I can do for you is it’s interesting that Alex chose to stay.
In a way, she’s learned at least that in the story that has been told.
And I think that’s progress for a person like Alex, who had a somewhat cynical disposition.
So what they would do, that’s a great “What’s next?”
I don’t know.
It almost would be the true test of love.
BLOOMBERG:Oh, right, that’s true.
HOROWITZ:They do now have a very distinct shared experience.
HOROWITZ:What can we say?
So that’s a wordy non-answer!
[Laughs]
