According to Lila Byock, who co-wrote this weeks episode withcreator Damon Lindelof, thats intentional.
We knew very early on that we kind of wanted to redeem Laurie, Byock said.
We really wanted to play with the idea of,who is this character when shes on her own?
And the one thing we knew for sure was that she was going to be funny.
She doesnt have much to work with in the book, Byock said.
She gets pushed into costume adventuring by her mom.
She doesnt even have her own identity as a costume adventurer.
Taking the name the Comedienne and taking his last name, Laurie Blake, Byock said.
Thats all her attempt to grapple with what part of me is him?
So, why is this version of Laurie Blake working with the FBI now?
We wanted to capture that shows lightning in the scene between Laurie and Angela in the mausoleum.
I think I pitched that as a joke!
To Byock, the blue dildo represents Lauries own kind of nostalgia for her sexual past.
It was the greatest moment of my life as a television writer, Byock says.
I think she was inclined to do it.
She just wanted to hear me talk about it in a convincing way, over vodka and vermouth.
Smart was convinced, and joined the show, and took this new version of Laurie to the screen.
