But this week, we have two!
Listen in…
MARIELLE HELLER: I love that the s really starts hitting the fan in this episode.
It made it a really juicy episode to direct.

Why is it so fun to watch you make bad decisions, Tommy?
At least not until its too late.
What did you think when you saw that furniture?
Weve been friends for 15 years.
Would that have been awkward or what?
TOMMY DEWEY:I couldnt be more thankful that you didnt have to direct me with my clothes off.
Im confident our friendship would have survived, but we might have needed professional help.
Alternatively, I am beyond happy that you arrived atCasualfor episode 9.
How did you approach establishing cohesiveness, when our stories were so separate on the page?
And I love the re-furnishing of the house.
(I was legitimately bothered when I first saw the transformed room.)
You also directed episode 10.
How is shooting a mini-movie three-quarters of the way through a television season different than shooting a feature?
I wonder what the cast and crew thought about our trips down memory lane.
I feel like for the first few days, we kept it really professional on set.
Most people probably didnt even know that we knew each other and had a long history.
Our professionalism was out the window.
But, that guy with a broken bottle who robbed us was no joke!
And I really did secure your life, or at least saved you from getting arrested.
These things must be noted.
We have watched each other struggle through the business for so many years through huge disappointments and near misses.
And this show feels like the perfect fit for you.
How lucky are we?
DEWEY:We actors really appreciate getting to work with directors over a two week/two episode span.
By giving each director two episodes,Casualmaintains a consistency and flow that is crucial to a serialized show.
Nowhere was this more important than it was in your episodes.
(That said, Ive apologized to everyone for the hour or two we spent doubled over laughing.)
As for you and me, were lucky as hell.
Suffice it to say, Im already scheming for us to end up on the same set again soon.
