When we decided that season four would be the last season, it gave us an incredible amount of focus and purpose and intention with the story we were about to tell with Ezra and Sabine on this journey together to take up the mantle of leadership. Sabine’s pairing with Ezra, as almost this dual hero,  makes it better, makes it a little more unique. They really need each other in the end. And when you think about it in the very beginning, in the first episode, she is the one that gives him a chance, because she lands on that crate, she can take him out right there, and she doesn’t. It just became really clear that there was this kind of sibling relationship that was emerging between them that was really natural and kind of beautiful, and that they were both learning things together about what it meant to fight for something. And now he’s really counting on her.

Zeb for me was always a family member. He came in he was introduced as a warrior but I saw him at the family member and he had a very specific place in this family. I saw him first as an antagonistic big brother to Ezra. that’s how that’s how a relationship began, but I feel like as the series evolved, his relationship with Ezra evolved into less of an antagonistic thing and more of a protractor and crewmate and almost a father figure in some sense too.
