But Weller did find her body under their old campsite, meaning Jane Doe isn’t really Taylor Shaw.
After killing Oscar, Jane planned to reveal the truth to Weller, but Weller arrested Jane on sight.
What does this all mean?
EW turned to executive producer Martin Gero to find out:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Jane is not Taylor Shaw.
Was that always the plan from the beginning?
MARTIN GERO:Yes.
We don’t want to be seen as liars.
I don’t want to ever say anything that is a straight-out misdirect.
I was intentionally vague when talking about Taylor.
I referred to her as Jane most of the time.
If you put it early enough, people get lulled into forgetting about it.
The show is calledBlindspotfor a reason.
Weller chose the pieces of evidence that fit the narrative that he wanted.
That was always going to get him into trouble.
How is that reveal going to impact Jane?
Jane has a terrible last episode.
It’s going to be next to impossible for anyone to trust her again right away.
This family that she’s created herself is then shattered in a lot of ways.
I hope it’s going to lead to some really exciting storytelling.
Jane killed Oscar, who is the closest tie she had to her old life.
How will his death affect her?
I thought Jaimie played that beautifully in the episode, because it was clearly not her intent.
She was trying to stop him and he walked into the blade.
She’ll be entering season 2 looking for a friendly face, that’s for sure.
With Oscar dead, are we going to start to meet others involved with this plan?
Season 2 is going to be extraordinarily satisfying viewing for our fans.
Any dream casting on Shepherd?
Yes, but I can’t say anything about it.
because our dreams might come true.
Does this group have a name?
No, not yet.
You’re going to learn Jane’s real name in episode 1 of season 2.
You’re going to find out a lot.A lot.
And it will be real this time.
How long has this mission been in the planning stages, because we saw Jane at Taylor’s memorial?
It’s been a few years in the planning.
What sense of betrayal does he feel?
Is he torn at all over the arrest?
No, he’s not torn at all.
I think he’s so angry.
He’s the most angry he’s ever been.
I let him around Sawyer."
It’s a very personal thing.
Regardless of whatever Jane’s plan is, he could also give a s about that plan right now.
He’s a level 11 angry.
How do you think the rest of the team will react to the truth about Jane?
They will find out in the very first episode of season 2.
It runs the gamut, but none of them are happy about it.
Are there any surprising reactions?
Well, she loved Mayfair a lot.
Her and Mayfair were very close.
It’s a difficult thing for all of them.
Will Jane tell them about Mayfair’s death?
Or will that only make it worse for her?
You’ll have to wait.
They all find out about it in the very beginning of season 2.
Why infiltrate through Weller?
That’s part of it, but the bigger question ofWhy Weller?is a question for season 2.
Weller has become the new head of the NYO.
The Jane Doe case was previously suspended.
What does that mean for season 2, especially given he’s arrested her?
We get back into the Jane Doe business in a really interesting way in the beginning of season 2.
How much will you be exploring whatever Orion is next season?
Oh yeah, that’s a big deal.
You will find out everything about Orion in the first two episodes.
And is that the name of Jane’s group?
It isnotthe name of Jane’s group.
Blindspotwill return in the fall.
In the meantime, get the scoop on the summer-long social scavenger hunt the show has planned for fanshere.
