Eventually, the two fell in love, but it was not enough to stop Naomi from leaving.
ANDREW CHAMBLISS:Yeah, exactly.
That was just our little internal joke.

And really just be honest about that.
Almost as soon as Naomi shows up, she wants to leave.
What’s going on here?
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
IAN GOLDBERG: We’ve seen that from Naomi before.
She was just on her own and looking to stay on her own.
And yeah, we see her that way in this episode as well.

But instead, she just walks away and that’s that.
Tell me a little about the decision to reveal that and in this way.
And he’s not going to press her to reveal any more about that.
John is also haunted by his own past.
He’s kind, he’s compassionate, he’s in many ways a gentle soul.
At least I try not to."
And we see even the way that he is with his guns.
We’ve seen those guns, he’s really proficient with them, and they’re important to him.
But there’s a compulsiveness to the way he cleans them in this episode.
It’s like almost just trying to wash away the sin somehow.
And he’s trying to forgive himself.
And you mention that cabin.
I love the moat concept that John’s come up with outside the cabin.
That’s a really good defense system there."
CHAMBLISS:It’s a question we were asking ourselves.
We wanted him to have a setup that felt different from something we’ve seen before.
And Dorie’s a pretty smart guy, and we’ve seen he’s good at survival.
GOLDBERG:John is a man of very specific taste.
He’s hard to pin down.
But we love John’s love for movies.
CHAMBLISS:We definitely talked about it.
And there’s that great moment where they fall into each other’s arms.
And for us, it was about that, and it was not about the sex and showing everything.
And it’s a huge deal for John Dorie to have saidI love you.
We are part of the world.
Let’s not waste another second."
For Morgan to say, “We are part of the world.
Let’s not waste another second,” is a pretty huge shift.
What is it that gets him to that place?
GOLDBERG:There’s a bunch of factors.
Those were Rick’s parting words to him.
He’s finally understanding what Rick was telling him.
And it’s huge for him.
And it’s like, Rick was right!
We are part of the world; let’s not waste another second.
He’s not going back to being isolated.
He’s going to stick with John.
Okay, let’s look ahead.
