Warning: This article contains spoilers from Sunday’sBatwoman, titled “It’s Best You Stop Digging.”
On the one hand, it’s never good for a villain to learn a superhero’s secret identity.
For answers, EW turned to Skarsten and showrunner Caroline Dries.

“And that’s something we’ll see deeper into the season.
But in that moment, Ryan doesn’t care.
She thinks she’s going to die in a couple hours.

Yeah, it does come back to haunt her a little bit.”
“It puts her in this precarious position because now Alice knows exactly who she is.
And like we saw before with Kate, Alice manipulates that to her own advantage,” says Skarsten.
“But unlike Kate, Ryan is not Alice’s sister.
And I think Alice now has newer investment in Ryan and Batwoman.”
“I do believe that coming to this moment is Ryan realizing like, ‘Okay, you’re right.
Batwoman doesn’t kill.’
Because if Batwoman kills, it takes away from the one thing she can stand on.
And yeah, I think that if she kills, then she’s no different than the Crows.
Of course, this wasn’t only the major bombshell dropped on Alice in episode 7.
“I think it just makes her angry.
Despite what Safiyah did to her mind, is there hope that Alice can find love again?
He’s like my favorite.
We just prank each other all day.”
