It’s that blind spot that we talk about, the difference between who you are and who you think you are, and that’s really the monster in this show. I think she’s really accepted a part of herself that she didn’t want to look at. For the most part, people think they’re doing the right thing, even if they’re doing things that from outside perspectives, people won’t agree.ĭespite what Mae may have done, Suzanne is, in some ways, in a better place, not when it comes to her family, but when it comes to herself because she’s talking in therapy about things.ġ00 percent. So I think from Mae’s perspective, and that’s how we approached it with Madeleine, she’s looking for a place for herself. So it’s really beautiful to watch these women connect over feeling betrayed by their mothers and being able to get their mothers out of situations that were unfavorable. Suzanne is kind of dealing with her own past and her own psychology and her own issues, something she’s kept very buried, even from her family and herself, really.

And then we also know Suzanne has trauma from her own past and is projecting onto Mae this wish she was saved when she was Mae’s age. She’s always doing things that are looking for a place for herself, for sanctuary, for protection, for a home, and I think she really finds a partner in that with Suzanne.

I think that she is a survivor and she’s someone who has an enormous will to live. That ending scene - what does Mae want exactly? A mom? Was that something she had planned from the beginning?ĭaria Polatin: I don’t know that we’ll ever fully get inside Mae’s head. (The psychiatrist rescued her.)ĭaria Polatin, who wrote the book inspired by a true story and serves as creator, showrunner, and executive producer on the limited series, breaks down that ending and addresses if there will be a second season after that cliffhanger. Suzanne is with Mae… but learns, in the final moments, that the teen staged her own kidnapping and had willingly returned to the cult. By series’ end, Suzanne and her husband Peter ( Sam Jaeger) are separated, and he’s living with the kids. The rest of her family is less than pleased, especially as the cult want her back and the teen exhibits strange behavior. In Devil in Ohio, hospital psychiatrist Suzanne ( Emily Deschanel) brings a cult escapee, Mae (Madeleine Arthur), into her home.
