Showrunner Ryan Condal joins Phia Saban and Olivia Cooke to explore the symbolic connection between Helaena's elaborate tapestry and her death, revealing how details woven throughout her story ultimately come together.

The featurette also looks beyond Helaena's story as Saban and her colleagues reflect on the emotional experience of saying goodbye to the character and the impact she has made on the cast and crew.

00:00It really feels like Helena's, like, almost overworking herself doing this,
00:04because maybe it is her therapy in that sense.
00:06And there's also quite a nice poetry to the idea that it's an externalization of
00:10when she's done, then that's the end.
00:13So she's working towards this sort of, like, meta-finishing point.
00:20Fia, we adore you, we love you.
00:22Please come back and visit and keep in touch.
00:25Thank you so much. So thank you for everything.
00:28That one hurt. It very much hurt to say goodbye to Fia at the end of that episode.
00:35I think what I would say is, I'll miss the relationships with the whole crew and the cast.
00:44Like, the web that actually makes the show.
00:48Cut.
00:51I'll miss Liv. I'll miss, like, being Helena and Liv being Alison and us, like,
00:55having a laugh. That's what I'll really miss.
00:59Oh, my God. I will miss working with Fia.
01:02I'm gonna really, really, really, really miss her.
01:06Fia's such a great one. I marvel at her uniqueness that she brought to Helena as a character
01:12and made her always somebody that you deeply cared about.
01:15I just love the way Fia dramatized her character.
01:17Fia's like, I'm out of here.
01:21Fia's such a great another!
01:23Umm, come on, stay together.
01:23I'm leaving.
