In last week’s episode (206, “What the Universe is Made Of”),
Dark Matter revealed a major plot twist: Blair Caplan (Amanda Brugel)’s true identity! The Blair that Jason1 (Joel Edgerton) has been hanging out with in analog world is actually Blair2, the woman he and Amanda2 (Alice Braga) left behind in murder hornet world.
In a recent interview, series costar Amada Brugel (
The Handmaid’s Tale) told SciFi Vision how excited she was to play what she called “a very patient, earned plot twist.” She also discussed Blair’s current state of mind. Blair says she’s thriving, but is she?
Brugel said yes, Blair is feeling great, “but with all people, any sort of horrifically traumatic event still lives really close to the surface. As we sort of dive deeper towards the end of the season, the mask that she's put on, it's quite a strong mask [but] it's not as resilient as she would have thought.”
Continuing, Brugel hinted that Blair still has some issues to confront.
“She's going to need to go through a couple of things and resolve some things in herself, but also in the world and in a fight against Leighton (Dayo Okeniyi), to truly be able to put a lot of that pain to rest.”
