The time to touch down inRoswell, New Mexicoonce more is almost here!

would be putting it lightly.

So how’s our girl Liz (Jeanine Mason) dealing with all of that?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:How did you approach season 2?

Did you have a plan for how everything was going to play out?

That was our backstory stuff.

Part of our theme is, what do we want to leave behind?

What is the impact that we want to have when we’re gone?

How is she doing when we pick back up?

Should we expect her to go dark this season?

Isobel is definitely the person who had her world rocked in the most devastating way since the finale.

She really loves Noah and so she’s starting to question her own judgment.

Even just little things like the way that she dresses changes because she’s no longer mimicking her mother.

She’s no longer mimicking what she thinks a human woman is supposed to be.

Instead, she’s going to have a go at figure out who she is as an individual.

Has that been fun to unpack the conflict there?

Yeah and there’s alotof conflict there.

Where does that leave things between Liz and Kyle?

Is he still harboring romantic feelings for her?

Suddenly it’s like Kyle is like the surrogate boyfriend.

He has to look around and be like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

He has to make a difficult decision about the extent of their friendship.

So is Liz’s focus this season very much on finding a way to bring Max back?

Is she using that to avoid grieving?

Liz is very good at compartmentalizing.

Max made a choice; a huge choice for her that didn’t involve her.

What about the whole Michael/Alex/Maria love triangle?

Can #Malex fans keep hope alive?

And I’m like, “Have you seen those guys?

The other thing is that they both love Maria DeLuca.

They both really care about Maria.

Right, the stakes are so much higher.

The stakes are higher.

They’re grownups and people can’t steal other people.

Max isn’t there to rescue him this time and he has to figure out how to rescue himself.

Ah, it’s hard because I’m rooting for them all!

Right, we’re rooting for that friendship between Maria and Alex too.

I really modeled it after Tim Riggins, Jason Street, and Lyla Garrity onFriday Night Lights.

The most heartbreaking love triangle of all time!

Yes, it’s this group of people who all love each other.

Wondering if Max is really dead?
