Literally the end of the world, multiple death scenes, a television season that includes mild elder abuse, Umbrella's Darkest Moment AcademySeason 3 will take place in episode 5, "Kindest Cut." Written by Elizabeth Padden and directed by Sylvian White — and Spoilers beyond this point— Broken Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) uses her power Use to try to put Luther (Tom Hopper) to sleep with her, going to the point of kissing him against his will.
"The scene was really rewarding in the best possible way," Raver-Lampman told Decider. "Sylvain White and Tom, who oversaw us in that episode, and our incredible camera crew were all really aware of the subject and sensitive."
Just before the rape. It stops at, but it certainly approaches and can be easily classified as an assault. It's the moment it's placed on the page, but it's open to interpretation, and Hopper states that "it can go in different ways."
"The script says Alison is approaching Luther. It's all physical ... she's imminent on him," Hopper continued. "Through the rehearsals, we felt like she wanted to regain power. She says," No, I'm out of control and I want to control the situation again. . I need to control something. "And she just stood there and said it. And she had all the power against this big man, Luther.
Throughout the season up to this point, Alison has steadily collapsed mentally, but her power has grown physically. It all stems from the revelation in the second episode of the season. Allison discovered that the new timeline the team traveled to did not include her daughter Claire (Coco Sad). Every time he tried to return to her own timeline, which was plagued by either her rival Sparrow Academy or her own family at the Umbrella Academy, Alison was in her control, as Hopper pointed out. I was dark and angry in no situation.
"That's a really big turning point for Alison," said Laborampman. "It's a real look at how much she was immersed in taking over the traumatic and collapsing emotional state."
The first two seasons of the series were Alison and Luther. This moment is especially noteworthy, as it has a significant impact on the romance between them. Other members of the Umbrella Academy enjoyed teasing Luther in love with his "sister" (actually irrelevant, they just grew up together), but in Season 1 It turns out that Alison is away from her husband. Relationship with Pinning Luther; and in Season 2, she married a man in 1963, before reuniting with other members of the team. In Season 3, Alison left her husband in 1963 and lost her daughter to Shenanigan on the timeline. Perhaps the limit, Luther is now with Sloan (Genesis Rodriguez), a member of the Sparrow Academy.
"She always had Luther, even when she wasn't getting along with others in her family, even when everything had collapsed in the last few seasons." Labor Lampman said. "They always had this understanding and this connection she didn't really have with anyone else, and when she betrayed him like this, it's really, really painful."
Both actors cast and crew by allowing "a really safe working environment of the day", especially given that they had to rehearse and shoot many miserable moments. I praised it. And when it leaves things, the romance between Alison and Luther seems to have taken place forever. By the end of the season, Luther had married Sloan (although she would be missing after the timeline was reset), and Allison had been her husband since 1963. Reunited with Rei (Yusuf Gatewood) and her daughter. But this moment in episode 5 completely obscures everything.
"In a sense, it's because we're saying that it shouldn't really be the case," Hopper said. "I felt it was wrong because it wasn't right and happened at multiple levels, but that's not what they really want. It's like the weird kind of security blanket they have. So it comes out in a completely different and abusive way from both sides. "
Raver-Lampman agreed, adding: "I think we played Luther and Allison's romantic beats, and I also think they both found a deeper, more complete, real love. Luther / Allison It was never an amorous relationship. It was just this really deep connection, but they actually found desire and love with other people ... it's just different. They always have a special connection. But that part of the romance is probably dead, and it's probably Alison's fault. ”
