She shared that she wanted her parents to watch the moment when her storyline turned exciting.

“I said, watch this one. I said, are you guys watching the show tonight? And they were like yeah, maybe, we might just get it on HBO GO or something or whatever. And I said no, watch tonight. Watch that one. And they were trying to get the spoilers out of me and it didn’t work. I ended up sitting them down and being like, ‘Let’s watch it’, and then instantly regretting it. My dad was like, ‘Again?’”

She shared with Dax Shepard of theArmchair Expertpodcast that she approached it as a job nevertheless. She shared that the script clearly needed the scene, and she made sense of it. Clarke toldDax Shepard:
“I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, ‘Oh, there’s the catch!’ But I’d come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job: if it’s in the script then it’s clearly needed. This is what this is and I’m going to make sense of it and that’s what I’m going to do and everything’s going to be cool.”
