And I feel like where she didn't have to get close to her in a

way. Well, and that's the other thing. She wasn't going to be checking in on her every day. She wasn't going to be crazy at Marlene just checking in on her. Quite the opposite because the closer you get to Marlene, the more likely it is that you're going to be hurt because Marlene is a criminal in this new world. She's an outlaw.

We know that she was watching her from afar. Exactly. Like always like making sure she's safe and okay, which again, Sarah Dippany is like when the whole thing goes down with Riley, Marlene happens to be there and protect Ellie. Yeah. Where like any other Firefly would have shot her. Exactly.

She's bitten. I am the one that told them not to shoot you.

I'm curious what it was like for you because it was over 10 years ago where you shot scenes with Merle Dandridge. Yeah. It was Marlene. And now you got to have a reunion with her. I think the absolute world of her and it was really cool. I mean, I don't know how to describe this feeling of shooting something that it's so strange to be a part of something for so long and then playing different parts in the same world. She's amazing. One other thing I think is worth pointing out here, which is why again, this needed to be in this episode. If you look at this opening and what Anna does to protect Ellie and you look at the ending of what Joel does to protect Ellie, the common thread is they both lie. Yes.

And

Anna says,

I cut it.
