And Fiona sort of represents the person that he actually is and that he has actually become over the course of the seven seasons, which is somebody who really does have a family and friends and personal connections that he can't leave behind casually. NIX: It certainly wasn't "let's kill a character". It was really more in thinking what has this season been about? What has this series been about? This question of Michael's relationship to his family - why has he been disconnected from his family? Why has he been a guy who doesn't have a lot of friends? What is that about? What does that mean? A big part of it has been he's always been aware the closer you are to people the more that can be used against you and the less freedom you have as a spy. It's something he's said explicitly to Fiona, and that's a price he's paid before when his brother died. Having these connections and bringing these people into this world has had great consequences. He's reconnected with them, he's resolved some family issues, all of those things, but it's also put all of them at risk. And so the question has been, can he have both? And I think it was important to me that that not be a question that's answered trivially - that we don't just go, "Oh yeah it turns out he can have both, ha-ha great!' NIX: It's funny, the weirdest thing about doing a final episode of television is there are so many lasts. ![]() When it hit me really was when I was alone in my office and I wrote "End of series" on the outline. It was the last day in the writers' room that I was like oh well we just finished breaking the finale so I guess that's the last writers' room, and that's the last time I wrote an outline and that's the last time I wrote a script.
