ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets start with Serena.
Why did you want to end the season with her rejecting both men?
When are you doing the right thing by rejecting these guys and not settling?
Theres always, just around the corner, something better, something more, something else.
And oftentimes, you find that theres not.
Did you ever want to have her choose one of the men in the end?
Things are changing so much, and in so many wonderful ways.
But the thing that is challenging is that there are no easy answers.
Quinns story raises similar questions.
But Quinn too, her personal journey so much this season was about getting her career back.
She so self-identifies with her work and her career, and that was so important.
So I hope that Quinn ending up on Chets doorstep is something that the fans debate.
That can be kind of dangerous.
Where Rachels left at the end of the season is a very destabilized place.
What are your thoughts on how prescient you guys were with this finale?Itiskind of crazy.
But we also talk a lot about how women are not these angels.
… We have complicated, messed-up women as our protagonists.
And I think that thats really important, to show real women, to show real behavior.
Now to clarify some of the other characters arcs, is that it for Jeremy?
By the end of episode 9, he is.
And it was just nice to see one character realize how toxic this place is and actually get out.
So he gets out and he stays out.
Will he return to torment Rachel even more?No, hes gone too.
Hes been fired, and hes going to stay fired.
Shes certainly not interested in a romantic relationship with him.
Whos back, then, for season 4?
What about former suitors and suitresses?
Any chance Adam, Darius, or Serena return?Theyre not coming back.
I know everybody wants Adam to come back who wouldnt want Adam to come back?
