"It was like the real-life triangle playing out as I'm watching it. I saw the tongue and I was like, 'There's no tongue in television!" She also reacted.

"I feel like it definitely played out a little bit in real life for a minute."

That was also when she stated what she felt during the time they were on the set.

"Not really, really, but I remember the tension with Samaire and I, a little bit. Cause it was just this triangle or whatever."
