How much of an outline were you given for "Dummy" and how much did your final draft change when it went through Bryan Fuller's typewriter before being filmed? Thanks!

The whole scene with Mark Chase explaining his evil plan but no one being able to hear him is like a failed deus ex machina, and personally I loved it. How did you come up with that?

I find all PD episodes worth watching more than once but "Dummy" is one of those that I keep re-watching over and over again. So thank you for giving me hours upon hours of <strike>procrastination material</strike> entertainment. This question is probably a variation/combination of a few others but not one specifically asked about it and it's something I've been curious about. Can you talk a bit about the scene where you have Mark Chase (shout out to the wonderfully talented Patrick Fabian for his awesome job with that role) doing the typical bad guy exposition but you flip it on its side by making it so not only does the audience not hear (or his audience, Ned, Chuck, and Emerson) him but nor do we really care since our attention is taken by The Kiss? I'm curious about a few things like 1) was everything Patrick was saying there scripted, 2) did you go into it wanting to find an unique and refreshing way to do the exposition (where we hear the parts that are really important but miss all the rest), and 3) how many times does a scene like that have to be blocked and filmed since we've got so many different POVs going on (Chases' as he's pacing and telling his story, Ned/Chuck as they watch him but also do their thing, Emerson as he works his needles out and frees himself, etc.)?

Do you think it was the right episode to miss out (ie. was there anything vital in it that would prevent us from properly understanding the rest of the series)?
