And can we talk about the scene in the dance club? I love that scene so much. There’s that throwaway line where Ava says, “I get to dress you.” You don’t see that outfit in its totality, but that jersey Deborah wears is a jersey Ava wore in “Montecito,” and she’s wearing a pair of cargo pants and electric blue cowboy boots. When she’s just looking at Deborah and realizing, Deborah’s so alive and free and happy, dancing, and Ava’s like, “I might be losing her.” In the scene after, where they’re sitting in the window watching the sunrise, we see Ava in a fur coat of Deborah’s, and Deborah is wearing a leather jacket of Ava’s. They’re really connected, they love each other, they get each other. It’s so hard for Ava to let go, she doesn’t want to let her go, so she literally wraps [Deborah] around her. That was a very intentional choice on my part, and I was really happy that the showrunners were on board, and the actresses were very happy too, to have that nonverbal moment on top of that scene.
