“#Lindsey Morgan Looks Back on ‘Walker’ Season 1 and Hints at Micki’s Next Move<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the Walker<\/em> Season 1 Finale, \u201cDrive.\u201d If you haven\u2019t watched it, go get a drink at the Side Step and come back when you\u2019re living right.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walker<\/em> wrapp<\/a>ed its first season tonight with a highly emotional\u2014and at times hard to watch\u2014hour that finally revealed the whole truth about who killed Emily (Genevieve Padalecki). Picking up right the last original episode, Cordi (Jared Padalecki) had gone rogue with a kidnapped Stan Morrison (Jeffrey Nordling), ultimately gathering the entire Walker family to confront their so-called friend in the very spot where Em met her demise.<\/p>\n

There, Stan filled in the blanks about how his ties to the Northside Nation proved deadly for Em after she stumbled upon him with Cali (Katrina Begin) in the desert while attempting to get supplies to Mexicans across the border. Realizing Emily was the wife of a Ranger, a gun-toting Cali gave chase and wounded her, then forced Stan to prove his loyalty by delivering the death shot. It was heartbreaking. As was the flashback of Geri (Odette Annable) discovering her friend\u2019s corpse shortly after the shooting.<\/p>\n

While all of this was going down, Micki (Lindsey Morgan) was dealing with issues of a more domestic kind as she and Trey (Jeff Pierre) prepared for the first official meeting of their mothers (including Micki\u2019s birth mom, Mercedes!). But because she is also the best, Micki put brunch on hold and jumped right into action once she got wind of Walker\u2019s situation, recruiting Trey for her plan to get to Em\u2019s originally convicted killer Carlos Mendoza before NSN\u2019s goons could silence him. Once the dust settled, it was a captive Stan who was eventually shut down permanently, someone was keeping a very close and creepy eye on our guy Cordi and Micki was offered an undercover gig to go after a new crime syndicate.<\/p>\n

Will she take it? Will she have an unexpected reason to turn it down? We went straight to the source\u2014the awesome Lindsey Morgan\u2014for some post-season scoop. And just like Micki, she didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

Congratulations on the first season! Micki has been awesome! Just the coolest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lindsey Morgan:<\/strong> Thank you! Thank you so much. She is pretty badass. I agree. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Anna Fricke [showrunner] did right by you with this character. She really made sure that this was not just the Walker show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. Yes. Micki completely stands on her own and is her own entity and I love everything about it.<\/p>\n

Obviously you and Jared have hilarious chemistry. It just clicks so perfectly. It\u2019s like the buddy-cop show that nobody realized was coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Completely. No one knew it was coming or that they needed it! I did not expect to be part of so much of the comedy, but I love it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much stuff going on this season finale\u2026there was some talk last episode of Micki maybe wanting to have a family, or what if she got pregnant? So when she\u2019s offered this undercover position at the end of the episode, is that something that\u2019s going through her mind or is she not telling us something else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ooh, you read into that one! Is there a bun in the oven? [Laughs<\/em>] You never know. I think in the finale, you really get to see her contemplate her next step. All throughout Season 1, it was just this new chapter for her, the beginning of this new life in this world of the Rangers. And she was jaded and she was on guard and she had a lot of walls up. Then as the season\u2019s gone on, I feel like you really just got to see her blossom into being a Ranger while also really opening her heart to family and relationship and love. Even though it was trying at times and there were obstacles, she really grew a lot. She made a lot of steps and moves towards healing and repairing this part of her life. Being open to love and to family is the next step.<\/p>\n

So at the end of the finale, she\u2019s essentially getting a promotion by getting this opportunity to possibly go undercover. But then at the same time, she\u2019s torn because we saw firsthand as to what that did to Walker when he went undercover, how that affected his home life and how many bridges he had to rebuild after that. So she\u2019s torn between this amazing new thing, a new job, and also feeling personally responsible to protect Walker. How and will<\/em> it affect everything she\u2019s worked so hard to build here with my family and with my relationships? And I think she\u2019s optimistic, but also I think it\u2019s impossible for something not to be a sacrifice.<\/p>\n

I feel like Micki is smart enough to figure out how she can kind of get a little bit of both of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. She definitely thinks she\u2019s smarter than Walker for sure. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Oh, definitely. But I feel like she can manage getting some part of the undercover gig or some sort of part of the promotion and still retain the family stuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the goal. And that\u2019s what I love, too, about seeing a woman in law enforcement managing the work-life balance. I feel like we don\u2019t see a lot of women in these spaces. We maybe see women in law enforcement on TV or film on the job, but we don\u2019t see them when they get home and how their home life was affected by the job. So I really love that with Micki. That\u2019s what we\u2019re delving into and that\u2019s what she\u2019s going to be navigating in Season 2.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I need to ask: What is the Lone Star Pu-Pu Platter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] It\u2019s like the [best] of everything that Texas has to offer. That\u2019s the barbecue, that\u2019s fajitas, that\u2019s queso, that\u2019s kolaches\u2026<\/p>\n

Okay. Sounds amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, you ain\u2019t getting that anywhere else but here.<\/p>\n

Well, I will come down for it.<\/strong> Going back to the idea of showing women in law enforcement. Usually, their only friends are someone else on the force, but you and Odette Annable (Geri) had this really nice scene where I thought, \u201cOh, neither of them have good girlfriends anymore.\u201d Will we explore this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I definitely hope so. I love working with Odette. She\u2019s hilarious. We have so much fun. But also we just really clicked instantly as people and as friends, and I feel like our characters fit. Geri\u2019s smart, super smart, and Geri is just very genuine and also a truth-teller. So is Micki. They don\u2019t take any bullshit and they just speak their truth and they have really good hearts, so I think they saw that in one another. And obviously they have something in common with the kind of guiding poor Walker and helping him navigate in the world. But I loved that they were able to see an understanding in each other, and again build a trust and a friendship with each other. You know, us girls need each other in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Especially with everything Geri has gone through and what she had to keep under her belt. That\u2019s hard stuff, and she didn\u2019t have anyone to talk to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know, I know. I think people forget how much Geri has lost. She lost her best friend. She lost her boyfriend and she\u2019s grieving. She also lost her business, technically. She\u2019s grieving so much. She killed someone. Girl has gone through a lot.<\/p>\n

Given how much heaviness this hour had, with the Stan stuff and the flashbacks to Emily\u2019s murder, it was really nice to have the counterbalance of you and Jeff Pierre (Trey). I love Micki roping him into a scheme to go into the hospital and that he just does what she tells him to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trey is a ride-or-die. But that\u2019s what I love the most about Trey. And I\u2019m almost like, \u201cThis man is perfect.\u201d He really holds so much space for Micki and he\u2019s always supportive. He understands her almost more than she understands herself. It\u2019s almost like he\u2019s a little bit more mature when it comes into the relationship and he\u2019s not pushing her, he\u2019s not pressuring her. He\u2019s holding her hand as she runs and makes her moves and every time she stumbled, he\u2019s there to pick her up and help her. And so I really don\u2019t think Micki could have been as successful in this chapter of her life without Trey. He was that missing piece to her puzzle that she needed. I don\u2019t think she realized how much she needed and how much she was missing in her heart until he stepped up in this new way.<\/p>\n

Nice. And now you also have Summer Days, Summer Nights<\/em><\/a> coming up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! We dropped the trailer this week!<\/p>\n

The long-awaited release. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh my gosh, I know. I can\u2019t even believe it. I think it\u2019s been four years. It was one of the best experiences I\u2019ve ever had on set. Ed Burns is just brilliant. He wrote it, he\u2019s in it and he directed it. And I love Ed\u2019s work because it\u2019s always like a slice-of-life, a piece of humanity. He talks about how a lot of it was based on him growing up in Long Island and on the Rockaway beaches in the summer\u2026that summer love and coming-of-age and what the next chapter in our life is when we\u2019re at that age, right out of high school or college. There\u2019s so much possibility in the air and anything can happen. And so it\u2019s just about that short moment, right before you\u2019re about to leave home, to go and make your mark on the world. It\u2019s extremely special. I loved every moment of it and I was so bummed when it didn\u2019t come out immedia<\/a>tely, but I\u2019m so happy that it\u2019s found a home. And it\u2019s coming up! August 24th.<\/p>\n

I need to let you go, but one last thing: Do not think I didn\u2019t notice that Jared\u2019s soaked-through in the courthouse shootings scene. That Texas heat is brutal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poor Jared. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Hopefully Season 2 starts filming in cooler weather. When do you go back to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We start prep in five days. [Laughs<\/em>] I know. Isn\u2019t that crazy?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
