Lesson 9

[CJ Lyons]

CJ’s Setting Up The Future

What I learned from this assignment is that even though I understand the implications of character actions as setups for future reveals I need to make sure the audience has a chance to see these actions in a memorable way (without showing my hand) so that they anticipate more intrigue to come.

New Setups added to PATIENT X Pilot:

*Rossi/Ryder’s romance

*Rossi’s symptoms

*The Cabal pulling the strings

*Other missing children

*Feud between Devon and Tower gang

*Kingston’s power over entire city
