Victoria Pedretti Explains That Wild Plot Twist in You Season 2


Yeah, absolutely. I mean, my mind was blow when I found out Love killed Candace.

Ambyr [Childers, who plays Candace] is so great. Her character is so incredible. Her performance is so great in the show, as one of the only sane people who’s really fighting for some form of justice. [Love] doesn’t really always understand her methods, but she’s trying to protect people from this person who wronged her when she doesn’t really need to. She could just stay in Italy and be safe. But I think we know that when something bad happens and we’re scared it could affect other people, there’s this courage that can come out of it.

I thought it was a badass feminist move for Candace to advocate for getting people to stay away from Joe.

I’m definitely a woman who believes in sisterhood and the important place that women supporting other women plays in the whole movement towards equality. It’s incredible how in making up around 50% of the population, we are an oppressed majority. That has only been possible by us working against each other. That’s because of the structures that be and whatnot. [But we’re] reminding [people] that Joe is benefiting not only from the way in which we are programmed, but also by other people who protect him.

What do you hope viewers take away from the second season?

I think it’s a mix of things. I think it’s important to focus on how our instincts can’t always show us everything, that it’s important to be careful about the interactions we have and the people we interact with. And at the same time, there’s so much beauty in taking risks and having trust. I hope we don’t walk around just scared of each other because of this show. I think there’s different things for everyone. Everyone’s going to relate to it differently and take something else away from it. I hate to tell people what to think.

Would you be down for a third season?

Yeah!

Do you have any dreams for how it would go, or are you open to anything?

No. I think I learned pretty early on that I can’t predict shit with this show, so I’m ready to be blown away.

You season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Not Even Ambyr Childers Saw That You Season 2 Plot Twist Coming


Did you ever hope that Candace and Love would team up and take Joe down together?

Here’s the thing: It’s only on the second season. The show must go on. I think one of the reasons the show is successful is Joe just always wins. It goes back to, again, what is it about Joe Fucking Goldberg? I don’t get it. He’s just one of those guys who is constantly going to get away with it. Just when you think he’s going to get caught, either he doesn’t get caught and he gets himself out of it, or someone comes and saves him.

What were you most shocked by on the show, and what do you think is going to shock viewers the most?

Love! She plays this beautiful, vulnerable, sweet, broken human being. When she killed Candace in the end, it’s just like, I don’t think people are going to see that coming. You don’t. What you think is because Candace is back, somehow she’s going to figure a way out to get Joe back. And, yeah, she does in little ways, but ultimately you can’t put up a fight against him. That’s just the way it is.

There’s such a cult phenomenon around this show. I’m sure you get asked all the time about the second season. How have you been able to keep all of these plot twists a secret?

If I gave away [spoilers], I don’t think Netflix would ever hire me. But in all seriousness, that’s what’s fun: seeing people’s reactions and those surprises. Because it’s on a streaming platform, it’s going to happen so quickly that you don’t want to give the storyline away. That’s not cool. When you have such a great following, their reactions are going to be everything. When you’re on a show like this, you live for how people respond to the twists in the storylines.

What do you hope fans take away from the season?

The importance of safety, for men and women who are out there dating. Maybe that sounds super cheesy because I’m a mother and I want to protect everybody, but it’s reality. It makes you think about it automatically, especially in the first season. It definitely makes you think of like, “Oh shit, my stuff needs to go on private.” Or, “I really need to think twice about who I accept or be friends [with] or go out with or swipe right,” or whatever it is. I think, for me, that would be the main thing.

Ellen Pompeo Just Revealed Her Dream Plot for the Grey's Anatomy Series Finale


Grey’s Anatomy returned to ABC this week for its season 16 (16!) premiere. There doesn’t seem to be a finale in sight for TV’s longest-running medical drama—which Dr. Meredith Grey’s fans are surely relieved to hear. But if and when the lights go out at Seattle Grace Memorial Hospital, star Ellen Pompeo has an epic plan for the series finale.

On a visit to The Late Late Show With James Corden, Pompeo said she’d like the Grey’s Anatomy series finale to be a reunion like TV has never seen. Her dream finale wouldn’t just bring back Dr. Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) or McDreamy (played by Patrick Dempsey). She’d want the entire original cast to return.

“I’d love to have some of the old cast come back,” she said. “But that probably won’t happen. But that would be the most amazing way to end.”

The reason it might not work out? There would be some logistical hurdles to clear if every single character returned, thanks to show runner Shonda Rhimes’s legendary plot twists. “Some of them were killed on the show,” the actress noted.

And, Pompeo added, even the woman who brought us Meredith Grey for almost two decades can prescribe the wrong ending. “The ending, the final episode, matters so much,” she said. “And the fans are never going to be happy no matter what. Sopranos, Game of Thrones, they’re pissed no matter what you do. So, there’s a lot of pressure on that final episode.”

But anything can happen on Grey’s Anatomy, so why not explore wild plot directions including the resurrection of the original cast? After all, this is the drama that gave viewers secret long-lost siblings, surgeries that doubled as bomb detonations, and musicals set at a hospital.

“You know, the fun thing about doing a show for 16 years and having a loyal, amazing, fantastic audience is we can really just play and have fun,” Pompeo said. And if any fandom could accept a crazy finale with open arms, it’s the legions who’ve been checked into Seattle Grace Memorial’s dramas from the beginning.

'Riverdale' Season 3, Episode 1 Recap: I'm So Here for This Cult Plot


Something is happening on Riverdale this season that’s more exciting than Archie’s abs. No, I’m not talking about Cheryl and Toni’s relationship—though that’s amazing and deserves 20 minutes of screen time per episode, minimum—or anything to do with the Black Hood. (Spoiler alert: It’s Hal Cooper! Except not spoiler alert because even the most casual viewers called that back in November 2017.) I’m talking, of course, about the cult storyline teased during the season two finale. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.)

You remember it, right? Shaken up by the realization her husband is a masked murderer, Alice Cooper decides to meet Edgar Evernever, leader of “The Farm,” a spiritual group that her daughter Polly joined in the second season. We don’t know much about “The Farm,” except it more or less caused Polly to cut out Alice and Betty from her life completely. She returns to her mom and sister at the end of season two, though, to convince them to join “The Farm.”

And she’s halfway successful. In the season three premiere, we learn that Alice is all about “The Farm.” Her hair is different. She’s talking different. She even thinks it’s a good idea for Betty to burn her diaries because, according to Edgar, they’re keeping her in the past when she needs embrace the future. Betty’s attitude toward Polly, her mom, and “The Farm” can basically be summed up with this GIF:

All Betty wants to do is ride in Archie’s weird jalopy and swim in some dirty pond, but nope, Alice and Polly are determined to convert her to “The Farm.” They do a little digging and find out Betty’s been lying about seeing a therapist and is forging Adderall prescriptions (???) as a post-Black Hood coping mechanism. Obviously, Betty wants nothing to do with them when they confront her about this, so she storms off, makes out with Jughead a ton, and returns to the most bonkers scene in Riverdale history.

“The Farm” has convened in Betty’s backyard and is doing a seance that involves Alice dropping Polly’s twins in a fire. Betty then sees the twins shoot up in the air—as if they’re flying—before she collapses into a seizure. That’s literally how the episode ends. I know! What the hell? Was this real? Was it a hallucination?

“That is the exact question that Betty is trying to figure out in the second episode,” Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa tells Glamour about this jaw-dropping ending. “‘What did I see? What part of that is real? Was all of it real? Even if it was a hallucination, where did it come from? What caused the seizure?’ There’s so many things to unpack, and very soon other people are also seeing crazy things.”

“We love urban legends like the Slender Man and stuff like that, so we wanted to tell a really creepy and twisted cult or satanic murder story, so we did a lot of research about cults and we looked at a lot of stuff like that,” Aguirre-Sacasa says in regards to “The Farm’s” origin. “Season one we did a more traditional murder mystery, season two we did a more traditional serial killer, so [now] we wanted to do something a little darker and more twisted this season.”

If you’re thinking, “Wow, this sounds way more interesting than any time Jughead’s appeared on screen ever,” you’re exactly right. This cult plot line is, hands down, the greatest thing to happen to Riverdale since it made Cheryl an Olympic archer. The above synopsis is just a small taste of the true insanity that unfolds during the premiere.

If only the episode focused more on it. Unfortunately, we still have to put up with a storyline involving Jughead going across Ghoulie lines (groan) to rescue the Serpents’ dog . We also have to deal with his narration and the fact that he wears the same white tank top in basically every scene. Thankfully, the cult narrative is potent enough to make even the most ridiculous Jughead line bearable.

There are seriously so many directions this story can go. Alice and Polly could force Betty to join “The Farm” against her will, only for Shirtless Archie and Bow-and-Arrow Cheryl to rescue her. Or what if Betty puts on her black wig, murders Edgar, and Veronica helps her dispose of the body? And then Betty returns the favor by helping Veronica take out Hiram Lodge! Murder! It’s the bread and butter of Riverdale!

Actually, wait, I know exactly how this plot should unfold: Betty joins “The Farm,” likes it, and Cheryl has to come in with her vicious, vicious words and bring her back to reality. Just throw in Hot Sheriff Keller randomly lifting weights, and you have the best parts of Riverdale all in one narrative. Fingers crossed Jughead’s scowling plays second fiddle to this all season. It’s what we deserve.

Riverdale airs Wednesday nights at 8 P.M. ET on The CW.
