Move over, Olitz: Scandal’s other awesome ‘ship is getting on the drama train.
Huckleberry Quinn — the duo of Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Quinn (Katie Lowes) — are going to hit a rough patch this season now that Quinn knows the exhilarating feeling of torturing someone.
After Quinn lost pretty much everything in her life because of Defiance, Huck helped her to channel her anger into his Dexter-like extra-curricular activity. That way, she won’t be tempted to seek vengeance on Hollis Doyle (Gregg Henry) — a no-no for Gladiators — and therefore will continue to wear the white hat. As Huck’s protégé, Quinn now has a taste for this dark world and is becoming everything he hates about himself. How will that affect their relationship? TVGuide.com sat down with Lowes and Diaz on the set of the ABC drama to get the scoop:
Let’s talk about the Quinn and Huck relationship this season. Does Huck feel like he’s created a monster?
Guillermo Diaz: Absolutely, and he knows what it was like when he first killed someone and he’s still addicted to it, so he’s like, “Oh my God, what have I done? I taught her all this stuff and I talked to her about it and brought her with me, and she likes it and is possibly better at it than I am.” Only in the way that she’s not afraid to just jump in there and do it. Huck is always going to have the skills. He’s a lot more skilled at it than she is. He doesn’t really know what to do. We sense he’s at a bit of a loss. “What do I do? How do I fix this?” She’s off and running and he doesn’t know if there’s a way to bring her back.
Why do you think Quinn finds this world so attractive?
Katie Lowes: She’s had so many horrible things happen to her in her life that were out of her control, so the moment she got that drill and she was able to cause pain on someone else and fully control a situation, that’s what she’s fighting for. She’s fighting for a sense of having control over life and a situation. And how much more can you do that than by torturing someone? This season, you’ll see a lot of how that affects her relationship with Huck and whether he is a fan of that or not, whether people in the office find out about it. Then again, since Huck lost his mind a little bit, he hasn’t been able to be the torturer we need, so maybe we need one.
