ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First of all, that ending was crazy.
Does the explosion kill someone important?
BARBARA HALL:Yeah, were not going to waste an explosion on a bystander.
EW: There were two separate cars, one with Maria Ostrov and one with Elizabeth and Dalton.
Was the man aiming at a specific car or the general area?
BH:Its a confined area, so it could have landed on any number of dignitaries.
EW: Russia and the US were finally about to go their separate ways and end the aggression.
Does this mean the negotiations are off?
LM:[Laughs] Youre trying to get some information from us!
EW: I am!
I think Im just still in shock.
Let me ask you this, will Russia continue play a role throughout the rest of the season?
EW: We need to know about Dmitri.
Henrys face as they drove past was so heartbreaking!
LM:Dont you love Dmitri?
He is so great.
Thats exactly where we want you.
BH:Episode 11 is going to be very exciting for [Dmitri fans].
We will get back into the story of what happened to him.
EW: That was my next question!
One of the things people love about this show is the relationship between Bess and Henry.
Its amazing and theyre always a team.
How is this going to affect that relationship?
BH:Thats one of the things we laid the groundwork for when we started this arc.
That is the pinnacle of where these two jobs and this situation takes them at the end of 10.
And its a conflict we are going to keep delving in for the rest of the season.
EW: What else can you tell us about the back half of season 2?
other spoilers can you give us about whats next for Elizabeth?
EW: Any guest starts we can expect?
BH:[Kate Burton] plays Henrys sister.
Youll get to see the relationship with Elizabeth and Henrys sister.
… [Also, Tim Dalys real life daughter], Emelyn Daly plays one of Henrys family members.
EW: Are you ever going to have Hillary Clinton on the show?
I hear shes a big fan.
LM:We keep seeing that, and we can say that we heard directly that shes a fan.
Were definitely open whenever she feels that she has time in her schedule to come join us.
BH:I think its safe to call that an open invitation.
