On having a two month hiatus and viewers having to get back into the mythology, she adds:

On Olivia’s supposed “superpowers,” Torv hints:
“We do start to find out what was done to her when she was little. She may have some ability. We do delve into a little about that and whether it’s a super power or if it’s something that has been done to her.”

On the writers and producers making sure the story doesn’t get burdened by a complicated mythology:
“I don’t know how much of the storyline is plotted out, but they’re adamant about it not getting convoluted. I think we’re managing really well to straddle that procedural drama. If you miss an episode, you’re not going to be lost.”
