On this week’s episode, Marion decides to name it off with Will after he dodges her for some time. What’s the ultimate straw, for her?
Gina Rodriguez: Marion has had a really completely different journey from Will. Her final relationship together with her ex ended amicably, and she or he is on the lookout for comparable — if not higher — communication and respect on this relationship. Will processes in a different way, and due to their strategy at coping with grief, they hit a crossroads. Marion tries her finest to open a pathway of communication, and it doesn’t appear to work, so she isn’t going to push one thing she doesn’t see working. Her self-worth and respect permit her to offer him area and time with out dragging her alongside for a trip. His response to her saying she loves him was all of the readability she wanted to be the final straw.
What did it do to her to inform him she loves him and get the response that she does?
It was the clarification she wanted. As soon as she allowed herself to be susceptible and his response wasn’t inviting, she determined she wanted to set a boundary as a result of she respects herself. She additionally is aware of that isn’t a state of affairs or relationship she needs for herself.

Does she notice that what she stated a few “clear shot” is haunting Will a lot?
I don’t consider she was ever given readability that she triggered him in such a method that pushed him so removed from her so shortly. And I consider her confusion is what devastates her essentially the most. She so badly needed to have the ability to be there for him, however he refused to let her in. That’s the place she attracts the road as a result of she believes she isn’t deserving of this habits.
Do you assume she additionally perceives that Will is popping again to Angie for consolation as he grapples with the capturing?
I don’t assume she entertains that thought very a lot. She may be very confident, and really what issues most is how he’s behaving together with her, and it’s not one among openness or respect for his or her relationship to date.
She additionally has a little bit of a confrontation with Religion (Iantha Richardson) over the CI — is she in any respect conscious that the confidential informant is Jeremy, and if not, would that change her emotions about Will?
Marion is below no suspicion that it’s Jeremy. She doesn’t realize it’s him nor does she know a lot about Religion’s household life. Would that change her emotions about Will? 100% as a result of she would discover it to be conflicting of their friendship and partnership, and she or he would undoubtedly be upset.
Does she typically perceive how a lot trauma he has endured earlier than the 2 met, or if not, is she going to place that collectively?
I consider once they first started their relationship, she accepted that his scars held tales. When she noticed he wasn’t in a spot to share she revered that. I’m certain over the course of their relationship he has shared some however the methods wherein he grieves, processes, and offers with relationships really involves mild after his incident and it’s very telling to her. It’s not one thing she needs to be in a relationship with particularly when the individual has no need to work on it and even strategy any of it together with her.
She leaves and tells him he is aware of the place to seek out her. Do you assume the door actually is open for if and when he’s prepared?
I consider she left all of it on the desk, and when she stated, “You realize the place to seek out me,” that’s indication that if, or when, he is able to step up, she would in fact converse with him. The final dialog with him was extraordinarily heartbreaking, and Marion respects herself an excessive amount of to attend for somebody who can so shortly shut the door on her.
