When I talked to Bob, he said, Its about time.
Did you get that sense of relief, too?
RHEA SEEHORN:Yeah.

In these guys hands, no relationship is going to be some pat, sappy, simplistic thing.
Or a little bit of both?
Its not brand-new behavior but its a new perspective on the behavior.
A decision to revisit a path again but in a different way.
But thats just me contemplating their whole past.
We dont have answers to all that stuff yet.
I think all of that is in there, and I cant spoil everything.
[Laughs] But theres something there.
Thats where I started from when we did this episode.
Its fun to play, What if you just let it go for a minute?
You see her in the morning need to backpedal immediately.
She doesnt judge any of that.
How would you sum up their complex dynamic?
Shes a bit of a straight man to his antics, but shes also funny in her own way.
Shes very, very dry and quick, so they enjoy riffing with each other.
Often the female character would be that person, and Kim is pragmatic and practical and theyre good peers.
Theyre intellectual equals and formidable confidants to each other.
but shes not there to chide him.
Kim listens to what he says he wants and you see that.
So she shakes him like someone that really loves you should, and I love that.
Shes got to figure out what she can tolerate and where that lies.
Everyone wants to say Jimmys a con man and hes actually the least duplicitous person in her life.
He is what he says he is.
All the winks, theyre fun.
I think that people love that they are not stunts.
Theyre just embedded so well and so perfect for the story.
I loved seeing [Ken] again.
Where is that guy going?
How would you describe the relationship journey of Jimmy and Kim moving forward in the rest of season 2?
Is it a bit of a roller coaster?
Its less of a roller coaster I would say than its a peeling onion.
Its just layers upon layers until you get the core of who you really are to each other.
They are comedic leavening agents to each other.
So its all of it.
Its a wide, wide journey.
In the season 2 trailer, she is quickly seen saying to Jimmy, You faked evidence.
With that said, what can you tease about Kim and Jimmy in episode 2?
Are these two in love?
I think they authentically love each other, and who knows?
As fascinating and surprising as these guys write, I could be a giant liar.
I absolutely believe those two have each others backs.
Can you leave us with a cryptic hint about Kim or something shell do in season 2?
