“It's a vital second in Sarah's story. Lastly [earlier in the episode], we see Sarah begin to collect extra data that she hasn't had. Rudy has had a plethora of data. Sarah is being fed data from Rudy, being fed data from her legislation agency. On the similar time she's being manipulated and being advised [in the workplace],” Iseman, 28, solely advised Us Weekly. “She's at a crossroads at this second, the place she begins to achieve all this data.”
Sarah's expertise at work finally performed a job in her private life.
“With Brad, there's a little bit of an influence play the place she is aware of she's a small fish girl in a male-led legislation agency. She is aware of her place and he or she is aware of what she must do to get on high. Some individuals may need a problem with that however I feel she's good and he or she needs to win,” Iseman defined. “In the identical manner that Brad is enjoying her, she's enjoying Brad a bit. To start with [at least] after which they begin to assist one another out. She begins to lean into it and begins to belief him — particularly when Rudy begins to fall off and their relationship falls to shambles.”

However then there's that one episode the place he flips a swap and we see his true colours. At that second, she is aware of sufficient data the place she in all probability ought to depart the case and depart the legislation agency. However I feel at that second she is aware of if she goes then Brad wins.”
Forward of the season finale, Iseman teased the place Sarah goes from right here.
“After this assault takes place, she's not prepared to let him win. Perhaps there's a world within the present the place if this by no means occurred — if Brad by no means assaulted Sarah — she would perhaps go,” she famous. “She would perhaps choose the excessive highway and he or she would perhaps say, ‘No, this isn't for me.' However due to the place Brad places her in, she's not prepared to again down and never prepared to let these poisonous males win and so she's going to choose the darkish facet and manipulate the manipulator.”
