00:00This is the final season. What was your reaction when you first read the final scripts?
00:05And do you think Joe gets an appropriate ending?
00:09I do think Joe gets an appropriate ending.
00:13And it was such a joy to read the final episode.
00:18It's like reading a good book and knowing how it ends.
00:22And right at the end of the book, all the action starts.
00:25And you don't really know how it's going to go.
00:27And that's how the final episode is.
00:30What can you tell us, without giving anything away, about back in this final season?
00:36I can't tell you a thing.
00:38She's still dead.
00:39Yes, which puts some theories to rest, maybe.
00:43Yeah.
00:43Well, what are you going to miss the most about having Penn as a scene partner?
00:49Oh, I love Penn.
00:51I just remember this one time on the first season where he and I caught the giggles.
00:57And we just couldn't stop laughing.
00:59And we're doing such serious, you know, lover's quarrel scene.
01:02And every time I looked at him, I couldn't stop laughing.
01:05And I hold that memory very dear because I think laughing uncontrollably like that is one of the best feelings in the world.
01:14Well, I know that there's been some debate on who would be the most iconic love interest for Joe.
01:22But I want to start for you.
01:23Who do you think would be the best suited for him had he not become this obsessive serial killer?
01:28I think love, right?
01:31I think because she was also crazy.
01:34I think that really was his match.
01:36Yeah, I think maybe.
01:38And I think Beck never was.
01:42She was never right for him.
01:44And she wasn't ready.
01:46And she didn't want to be.
01:47She wanted to be free and didn't want to be controlled.
01:49And why do you think that this is the right time to end the series as a whole?
01:55I don't know.
01:56I'm honestly, I don't know how they decide when to stop filming.
02:01I think maybe when it just feels right.
02:06I think it's wise to go by feeling as opposed to stretch for the dollar's sake.
02:13But I honestly, I have no idea what went into the decision.
02:18But I am supportive.
02:21And finally, I know that this show does take obsession to the extreme.
02:25But I wanted to know for you, what is your current healthy obsession?
02:29Whether it's a show or a song or what have you.
02:31I love that.
02:33I'm very into going to sleep early.
02:36People have been saying sleep and I love that.
02:38Well, and people are giving me a hard time about it.
02:40Because they're like, you're young, you should be out.
02:44Sleep is my obsession as well.
02:46So I agree.
02:46It's so good.
02:47I got an Oura ring.
02:49Hate to admit it.
02:50And it's just, it makes me excited to get in bed.
02:53And I got an eye.
02:54You know, all the accessories that come with sleep are very exciting.
02:57How's your sleep now with the Oura ring?
02:59It's very good.
03:0093, 95.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Well, that's the other thing.
03:04I got the Oura ring and it turns out there was nothing wrong with my sleep before.
03:07But it just gets you like a little bit more excited.
03:10I got it off.
03:11I got it off.
03:11I got it off.
03:12I got it off.
03:12I got it off.
03:13I do, kasie.
03:13I got it off.
03:15I get away.
03:15I just like a little bit more in bed.
03:19I got it off.
03:20I got a little bit more ноч
03:27which I see.
03:29There it is two hours.
03:31People are a lot nicer.
03:34I got it off.
03:37I got river and I got it off.
