Everything has led to this.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What do you feel has been the biggest evolution in Micki over the season?

I think she did that because she didn’t trust love.

But she’s been able to let her walls down.

Same with Walker, he really holds space for her.

Through that she realizes, I don’t have to do everything by the book.

She has a lot more aspects of Walker inside of her than she even realized.

But she has to trust herself.

I feel like we’ve been watching her slowly exhale.

Yes, like let her hair down!

Let it out of the bun.

You got to see her relax.

She’s really finding her groove.

What’s it been like for you to get to play out her work-life struggle?

I found that so fascinating.

The thing we see in mainstream media is mainly work.

Is that a home?

What does that mean for my career?

At this point, do you feel like she trusts Walker completely?

Walker has consistently shown up for her.

It’s a really special bond, and I love that it’s not romantic.

It’s really unique.

For her, Walker and the Walker family are family.

At this point she’d go the distance for her partner.

There’s so much love for that family.

She’ll do anything to protect them.

I feel like in season 1 you got to see Micki as a beginner.

She was trying a lot of different things.

I want to see what she can do, I want to push those boundaries a bit.
