Speaking in a recent interview with Deadline, the actress clarified her character's actions in the final scene. "Oh, so twisted! This final scene is something that [director] Aneesh [Chaganty] and I put a lot of work into behind the scenes," she began.
"I don't see it as her going to kill her mother at the end, I see it as her doing what her mother’s done to her for so many years. She's keeping her sick, she's keeping her as non-threatening. This is coming from a place of her having been traumatized by this person.
