Keri Russell explained in The Diplomat season 3 Kate's decision not to step down as British ambassador after Hal became vice president.

[The following story contains spoilers for the first two episodes of The Diplomat season 3. ]

In the second episode of the series of Netflix, you can imagine that the killer tfeliller is about to explode the whole house.

After many changes, with the past of Janney in the drawings of the series 'a.What he will go to work.and turn around and the plane of the plane.

At the moment Russell, who maintains his character's current diplomatic stance, is an unusual change for both Kate and many women.

"The interesting thing is that he just went with the complaint and made him think that it would be difficult for women to choose. And I don't think about himself. The author."Women didn't do it for a million reasons, but from here, Kate decided to choose herself, which is amazing."

Kate's choice brought to mind the drawing of one of the first symbols that she adapted that fostered the connection of social stakes: America.

"When we did The Americans, Joe [Weisberg] and Joel [Fields], who wrote that show, said they followed a feminist guide, or these guidelines, so every decision Elizabeth made followed this set of rules," Russell explained of her Soviet spy character on the FX series."You made it for yourself, not for your family, not for your children. You made it. the decision for yourself."

While there's "more work" to be done in the UK, especially when CIA station chief Adela Parker (Ari Ahn) and Kate's friend is convinced she'll be fired, Russell says her character's decision was more about breaking away from her pattern with Hal.

"It's enough to work for a person and a neighbor's neighbor," says Singlereya, who has a lot."

The episode where Kate and Hal break up also features flashbacks to their early days as a couple, including Hal's proposal, which Russell called "thinking in a way that's a different beat to our show."

He added, "The whole idea of 'How did I get here? What are the steps that brought me here?'It was very interesting.

And he praised Kate when he was killed after being killed as a great legend.

"When I read it, it was so good, to be stripped of that when you're doing the formation and all the work in the first episode handling things for the President, even if they're against it, and doing the right thing, making it all the work, and then dancing with his good looks and his good suit, and being offered his position, is very heartbreaking. "Any character, to me, is better when you lose.And [Creator and Creator] Deborah [Kahn] has written some beautiful and humbling losses."

Speaking at a post-screening Q & A with former US Ambassador to Britain Jane Hartley in New York last week, Cahn joked a year ago that Kate might not get a top job.

“How did we come up with the idea that a very intelligent woman with a lot of experience and a very detailed understanding of how things work would be ready, willing and able to take on a big leadership job and then not get it at the last minute?”he said.

But in all seriousness, he said they wanted to keep Kate in the Foreign Service.

And he said: "The idea of having two women in the White House unfortunately felt like science fiction."

At the beginning of episode two, viewers watch as Kate methodically removes the multiple pins holding the Vice President's hair together and removes them, signaling the end of Kate's ambitions to become Vice President – at least for the time being.

That's what the show means, "I don't want that job."

"When you go into this environment that's beaten, you do it, 'Okay, this is what I want, this is what I want to do,'"."So, when [Hal as VP], I think he's just trying everything and he wants to. I think it's a good place to start the season."

He was frustrated by the inflexibility of Hull's appointments, which he said was "strong" when he received "amazing" advances.

"The dynamic it creates is so explosive, so unexpected, it throws a lot up in the air. We've always liked that kind of thing," he says."You don't want to be the dog that caught the car, so I really appreciated the dynamic change, because I think there's only limited interest in getting out of a dynamic by keeping it the same for too long. So something that really balanced the state and created new problems opened up the story."

Kahn said that the many changes in the season had a natural effect for "Quinine" surrounding the death of Rayburn.

"We just did this little thing, where the president died, and it created a lot of fallout," he joked.

Still, she was intrigued by the possibilities of what these changes would do for the characters.

"It was really fascinating to see a bunch of characters who think the world may change, but they're going to basically stay the same. They're going to be the same people to each other," he says.

For those who thought some of the themes from the first two seasons were already covered at the start of season three, season three spoilers suggest those connections may still be revealed.

"I always think that we will start a new path by solving the issues, but then we end up with new obstacles in the old path, which I think life is about a lot," he said.

All three seasons, including the third season episode, Diplomat are now streaming on Netflix.
