Last season, a big part of exploring Anika’s present was about exploring her past. We did so through her lens, literally only getting a peak into past events through her own narrative. Anika’s past was all about the stories she chose to tell Sean and Harrison, and the way she chose to tell them. [...]
Oh man, oh man, today is all about powers and their scope. I know he comes off gruff. I know he’s a bit of a mess. But I hope that at the end of this, I hope we all understand a little bit more of why. One of my favorite behind-the-scenes aspects of this [...]
Oh boy oh boy I love these heroes so much and I love that we finally get to properly get to know everyone. First of all: Hello, Lyssa! Aiden is one of my favorite characters to write for, and it was so fun to dig into his past, the people in it, and how [...]
One of the things I am so excited to explore this season is the relationship between Anika and Harrison. Anika, for once, is actually starting to sound like a villain.

The modeling job I thought this would be a funny and cute way to give Lana a job. I didn’t want her to have an office job or end up doing something she hates. A modeling job, and the way she ended up with it, seemed very on brand for her. As I’ve said [...]
The Shower Scene Okay, alright, I knew it was cliché when I wrote it but I did it anyway. I really wanted Nova to experience one of her episodes while she was awake. I think it’s a completely different experience of fear and as the season is in its final episodes I wanted to [...]
Memory and Reactivation As I have mentioned before, my lab has a particular interest in mechanisms involved in the formation and alteration of memory. One of the specific areas of interest is reactivation, or the replay of waking behaviors while asleep. I want to distinguish between the reactivation I’m discussing here and the reactivation [...]
