Leave the camera on the actor and trust them to give you what you need. You don't have to do a lot of stuff with the cameras and a lot of fancy tricks that need to be done. Just trust. -Bethany

And we really got to soak in the Scott family, the James, James Scott family dynamic feeling that it, it almost felt like that the household, that it, well it did, it must have felt like the household that the sisters grew up in. So we all got to really feel that for the first half of the episode. And then Lydia drops this bomb about having cancer and having not much time left. And it was a really smart way of truncating years of experience that we haven't had as an audience because we've been living in Tree Hill with all these other characters to truncating all of that into a short amount of time so that we still really felt it hit home when, when the, she best made the Lydia makes this, this announcement, like the sorrow really, I, it really connected. I I was crying on this flight, watching this, watching these scenes with some really wonderful actresses. They were great. -Bethany

Jenna I really wanted to say that line one more time because I improvised that in one of our early morning work sessions on the pilot. And I remember Greg saying, oh, that's so good. That's so realistic. And I said, well, that's how I used to answer the phone at all my jobs. I would say the company, this is Jenna. And he goes, I love that. That's a great detail. And that then became part of my character. So that was one of the things I said to Greg. I had very interesting requests for the Finale. I was like, I want a scene with all the Ladies, and I want one more chance of saying Dunder Mifflin this is Pam. 'Cause I haven't been the receptionist for a long time, and I wanted to sit behind that desk just one more time before the show was over.

Angela Well, I loved it. I mean, Jim clocks it. He immediately looks up. It probably took him back in time to their early days. And Pam says, oh, I'm sorry, Jim Halpert doesn't work here anymore.

Jenna Jim got his big moment with the teapot. They wanted Pam to have a big moment. But I said in the writer's room, I said, I'm not sure that the answer to this couple's problems is for Pam to adopt this habit of making big life moves without consulting the other person...Actually, originally they were gonna come home and there was gonna be a sold sign in the yard. And Jim was gonna be like, what's this? So I said, maybe the big romantic gesture is that she's been showing the house. But you notice in the scene, they do actually decide together to do the move. The people say, we'll take it. And then Pam kind of looks at Jim. So in a way, Pam is like offering an opportunity and then they do finally agree on something together in the moment.

Angela And that's when you hear Tom Petty's. Here comes my girl. And Jim and Pam have this really sweet moment.

It feels like he went through, here's what it looked like to me. It found like he just found stuff from like the recycling bin downstairs, the egg cartons. And then it looks like he got, 'cause she did a lot of sewing, like it just looked like, it was like random fabrics and I think it was like stapled or taped to the wall...Like it feels like a very Nick Miller. No, it doesn't look like this. He needed a whole husband. That's what he needed. -Hannah

My favorite part is when Jess unbuttons her shirt while Nick continues to talk about his feelings, he feels like he can see her in 3D. It's like yeah, bro. Everyone sees in 3D. -Lamorne

And this is a beautiful moment in the Nick Jess relationship. 'cause they go like, no, let's, let's, let's, let's just stay with this. We're just going to go right in and open up with our feelings. And that's really like this huge growth moment for like the Nick character to sit there and to choose the feelings. -Hannah

Jenna So he made our writers and other crew members... He gave them roles asking the questions. And he said it really worked because if someone was a little stiff or maybe not the best actor, it's like, well, that's what a real person in the audience would be like.
