Cole drinks the Red Forest tea, and prevents the paradox.
What does this all mean?
EW turned to executive producer Terry Matalas to get scoop on season 3.
(Read our postmortem with Amanda Schullhere.)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The Witness is Cole and Raillys child!
What came with that decision?
That was something that was really important.
It was something we knew for a long time.
Youve dropped hints throughout the series that really pointed to this happening.
The fact that the Witness always makes sure that Cole and Cassie survive before his own conception.
We were worried that we were almost a little too obvious in telling that story.
What role will the Witness play next season and will we get to meet him or her?
The Witness is a major focus point obviously of season 3 and yes, you will meet the Witness.
Why does the Witness and the Army of the 12 Monkeys wear those masks in the future?
So thats why they wear that mask and it looks really cool.
Is that how the Witness travels through time as well?
The Witness was not born in a normal way.
That is going to play a major part of the Witness physiology, if you will.
Things are definitely going to get a lot worse before they get better for Cassie.
What does that say about their love in general?
Was it meant not to be?
Can you talk about how Cassie is able to remember the alternate timeline?
And do the feelings between Cole and Cassie from the other timeline still exist?
Well, its stuff weve seen before.
When time has shifted before, those with the injections, their memories still exist.
So the essence, its recorded in their memories.
What was that thought process like for him?
The choice was sort of made for him by the fact that time was going to collapse.
Hes got a chance to save the world, so the equation works.
Cole is heading to the future to get Cassie.
What can you tease?
Hes going to have to go deeper down the rabbit hole so you can climb out.
Cole doesnt know that the Witness is his child at this point.
Um, yes, he says cryptically.
[Laughs]
Ramse and Railly had plans to kill the Witness.
How do you think he will feel when he learns that the Witness is Cole and Raillys child?
Will that put her in Ramses crosshairs?
I would say thats definitely a possibility.
Why did Olivia bring Ramse to his son?
Its an excellent question that you should be asking throughout season 3.
Can the Witness be killed?
Is Deacon really dead?
What role might he play next season?
I would say we have not seem the last of Theodore William Deacon.
And Jennifer is in France in 1917.
How is she going to fare in that era?
And is this the first step in the journey of having her return to the past to grow old?
Lets hope history stays intact by her being there.
How do you think that Jones has been changed after being alone at Project Splinter for a year?
Jones ex-husband is back into the picture because he is the one who helped build Titan.
Will we see more of him next season?
What does that reunion look like between Jones and her ex?
Well, the streak will play in later.
She doesnt have the streak yet from [episode] 109.
We knew from the get-go that thats what we wanted to do.
Is there absolutely no preventing Cassies death in the CDC?
Unless they can untie the Gordian knot that is the timeline right now.
12 Monkeyswill return for season 3 in 2017.
