Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Veil series finale!

The Veil star Elisabeth Moss has opened up about the major reveal that happened in the series finale, explaining the impact it has on Imogen and why it’s so important. The final episode of the thriller series focuses on Imogen attempting to thwart an upcoming ISIS bombing on the United States, trying to get the information out of Adilah. However, The Veil‘s characters clash at the end, where Adilah dies and the show’s hero learns her father is still alive, keeping a close eye on her from afar.

Speaking with Variety, Moss and producer Denise Di Novi explained the meaning behind The Veil‘s revelatory ending that Imogen’s father is still alive and has been watching her this whole time. The lead actor emphasized how conflicted her character feels following this revelation, while also teasing plenty of questions for her to figure out the answers to. Check out what Moss and Di Novi had to say below:

Elisabeth Moss: Oh my God, that scene was just everything. I loved doing that scene, because there is so much going on. You’ve got the discovery, first of all, that your father is alive, which is good news because you have mourned his death for many years. There is joy and happiness there, but it is very quickly followed by the betrayal of the fact that he has been alive and he has been following her. Watching her from afar and not a part of her life. So you have these incredibly massive, quite Shakespearian stakes at play, all in this one scene.

And I don’t think it liberates her or unburdens her, I think it ignites her. I think it gives her a whole new purpose in life to now uncover this part of her existence that she didn’t know about. And answer that question of why did he do it? I think it ignites her, but that is part of who she is as a character. She is not a character that really sits back.

Denise Di Novi: It certainly starts a new chapter to maybe find him or figure it all out, and it is exciting in a way. You see it in her face at the end when she is going to Athens. That is kind of what she is going for.

Elisabeth Moss: And there is satisfaction in knowing that she was right. Because I think she always knew that something was amiss. She always knew that there was something she was being lied to about. So there is deep satisfaction in what she finds.

More to come…
