Below, their thoughts on the sixth episode of the comedys second season, Servants Disease.
A presumed typhoid outbreak among the Bellacourt servants has led to their quarantine.
NATASHA LEGGERO:It was actually very hard to orchestrate.

But our set person is so talented and props built this amazing contraption.
I think its actually what you handle babies in, in the [time period].
Unfortunately, the contraption doesnt hold up and Lillian is exposed to the disease.
After Celery and Dick exit the dinner for a walk, Beatrice happily reconnects with her dopey twin brother/lover.
Well write a line and go, Is that too stupid for someone to pull off?
and then well go, No, Jason can pull it off.
But then we just always lean into it and he can always somehow make it work.
Frederick definitely gets goofy, but he and Beatrice also get romantic in a steamy bathtub sex scene.
According to Leggero and Lindhome, Frederick and Beatrices sex scene was heavily censored.
LINDHOME:The sex scene had to be highly censored.
It was like cut in half.
LEGGERO:Its really weird for our show because were rarely ever censored and we rarely get notes.
LINDHOME:Theres something about that sex scene that they wanted to cut down.
It used to be hilariously raunchy.
Things are much less romantic for Lillian, whos commiserating with her fellow quarantined servants at Bellacourt manner.
LEGGERO:We had this idea that [that scene] was going to be likeThe Breakfast Club.
LINDHOME:Ethanine, the child actor, was just so good.
We were so impressed with her.
David Koechner, Paget Brewster… LEGGERO:We called it dirt fing.
It was in the outline like that, and then as we were writing we were like, no.
Lillian and Beatrice shouldnt ever really change.
They should look like theyre going to change, but these are not people who can grow.
Another Periodairs Wednesdays at 10 p.m.
ET on Comedy Central.
