"We were always worried approximately him changing too quickly, the character, and so we tried to spoon it out a tiny by the time. But knowing where we were going to end final season with him going to prison, we weren't afraid to go ahead and start giving him a lot of things that he wanted in life, and we did a tiny arc of three alternatively 4 at the end where he really started getting his life together. The whole period, we knew we were going to take it always away from him and send him to prison, so that was kind of by devise," he said.
