![]() " She sabotages her own self through her doublespeak hypocritical theories. No way could I leave the world with that! I was like, "I love this idea that for 27 minutes you're going to think she's president, but then of course she can't. Was there ever a question of whether she would step down from the presidency? Because if they walk back into a world where she is president, it could be very different from one where she isn't. So you put enough seeds in the three seasons that could have led to two other people? I will never tell you who the other two are! There were three people it could have been. The writers did not know who was mind controlling them until they watched it. But there were still three versions of what this could have been even up until this season and honestly, even after the writers' room. when we saw them that blinking light under the White House in Season 2. And I think that as wild as she is and has as many conspiracy theories and things that she has, she also randomly sometimes makes like a point where you're like, "Wait a minute." It felt like how politicians feel. And we've created our own reality in this world. She's somebody who creates her own reality in her mind. She's somebody who has been very outspoken, very opinionated. We still control this environment and what better person to personify that than the largest personality, arguably, on the show? Somebody who is literally and figuratively head and shoulders above others because of her head wrap. It's just this place where, even where Katy Campbell is murdering people rampantly, she's still running for office. So, that's why it's all Black woman on the show. So, I think that, for me, I always want to play with the idea that we get to define ourselves in our environment in this safe space. ![]() I take that magical reality very seriously. This is a show where Black women live grounded experiences in a magical reality. Haddassah reveal, bringing Brunson back, her personal highlights of the season, and the one joke that didn't have greater significance beyond just getting a laugh. Until we know whether more answers will come via another season or two, here, Thede talks to Metacritic about shaping three seasons of sketches so they all led up to the Dr. ![]() While Thede was excited to deliver some answers at the end of Season 3, those answers inevitably lead to more questions. "I just wanted the world to start to cave in on itself so you start to question the motivation for everything," Thede continues. There's a reason why Octavia and Trinity meet - two characters who have been in completely different worlds." There's a reason why they're all in the finale, and there's a reason why you see a sketch without the core cast, which you've never seen before]. "This finale is weird, and if you really pick it apart, it's not just a bunch of random sketches. "The sketches all live in this world that was in their heads as they were being mind controlled, essentially," Thede says. In addition to the resolution of the narrative in the finale, there were a handful of individual sketches, ranging from a video game about haircare featuring former cast member and now guest star Quinta Brunson, a Smart Guy reunion featuring Tahj Mowry and John Marshall Jones playing a heated game of Scrabble, and the return of Trinity the Invisible Spy (Black) who pulled workout instructor Octavia (Thede) into one of her missions. The women acknowledged that they didn't know what they were stepping into, but that didn't bother them because they were doing it together. Then and only then were they considered "evolved" enough for the door to the hotel room in which they were being held to open and allow them to re-enter the world.
