Q: Was that just an improv? Jennifer Beals: It wasn't scripted. Laurel Holloman: No, it wasn't scripted. It's actually, I think, one of my favorite scenes that I've seen. It's such a… it's just one scene that I can watch and I just see the truth of those two characters at that moment. Jennifer Beals: As the scene was written it was much more about sex on the surface in a way but in the moment it became so clear how much Bette missed Tina and all the different layers that come with that. Our job when things like that start to happen is that you just let it happen and you kind of stand out of the way. Laurel Holloman: I mean, Jennifer is so amazing when something like that happens, when she gives me something like that, the best thing is to respond and I really like what that did for Tina because she comforted Bette and it was the beginning of a lot of strength in that character. Jennifer Beals: It was the beginning of the equality in the relationship too, I think. Laurel Holloman: Yeah, and it was more complex for her because of the relationship she was in where as Tina was alone so it was very different. Different things happening.
