ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, Peter’s back to waiting for a phone to ring.
He’s not in a basement this time, but he’s back to where he started.
SHAWN RYAN:The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess.

What does he think about this double agent thing?
Is his father’s shadow over him?
I think he’s determined to ultimately take a different path than his father took.

I think his father didn’t have the same reasons as Peter did for doing what he did.
So I think his conscience is probably pretty solid on that front.
Do you think he’s learned his lesson?

We saw Catherine getting so frustrated with him for going AWOL multiple times.
Do you think there’s still a chance he could go rogue again?
“Rogue” is a tough term, because rogue can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.
That became more difficult in season 2.
Season 1 wasn’t that morally difficult for him; it was logistically difficult.
But in season 2, we endeavored to make things more and more morally difficult for him.
Do you go with the second-worst choice?
Do you venture to come up with a third way?
Do you give up on the game?
But he’s also someone that doesn’t tend to give up.
Speaking of Rose, they have what seems like a pretty legit breakup scene.
Is this really the end of Rose and Peter’s relationship?
I would say that nothing is ever really the end on this show, for sure.
So there’s always going to be this incredible connection between the two.
I will just tell you that we love the character of Rose.
We love the character of Peter.
We love Luciane and Gabriel as actors.
I think they’re tremendous together.
So we don’t take that lightly.
Something tells me he might not.
Sometimes you’ve got to deceive people.
So no, I don’t think Peter will ever completely be able to compartmentalize.
Is this the last well see of Noor?
We never know when the last we’ll see of somebody is.
Noor was conceived as a character that would have this certain beginning, middle, and end.
I think Arienne, who plays her, was tremendous.
Why did Noor never consider that her brother might not want to leave Iran?
That’s a good question.
I think she was more afraid of the mandatory army conscription than perhaps he was.
And so I think one of the things is that we all have blind spots.
How afraid of Hagan should we be?
Well, that’s one of the things that we’re deciding as we write season 3.
I think that’s something that we all worry a little bit about.
So knowing the nature of this show, you should probably worry a little bit.

We have written most of the season.
We’ve got some really amazing stuff.
We introduce some new characters.
