In another interview, Luke gave his take on steamy scenes in the series. They are sensual, but they must be true to their character so as not to lose their essence. He said, "We didn't want it to be this, like, romantic, sexy scene, and they suddenly become different people. We wanted to keep the authenticity of who they are."
All the previous seasons teemed with sensuality as well as grace. Of Polin taking up the torch, Luke added, "You know, Colin's had this wild experience, but Pen is very, it's like a sexual awakening for her. So it was fun to explore what it would be like for those characters in that time, and, yeah, just keep it true to them."
