"Pearl is playing the lead and it's a big flag to carry - it's the first. It's nerve-racking and there is less pressure on other people.

Liquorish adds:"It's representative of what is happening and needs to happen more. These characters are awesome, powerful and three-dimensional." She thanks Lediga, who helmed the episode, for making her comfortable as possible by"over-directing" the scene. "So Kagiso over-directs such scenes and it's important so that they get the shots they need and we also never get to a point where we are like 'when is this over?'"
