Even though her character died almost as quickly as she was introduced, Crystal was grateful for the chance to influence her sister's character arc in such a big way. "It's so well written that even though it broke my heart, you can feel that, in terms of Maggie Pierce’s arc, it's critical," Crystal told EW of her death scene. "It's a critical part of her character’s life journey, so it was also a real honor to know that I got to help my sister experience this big uptick in terms of the stakes for her character’s life. I got to help with that! So it was really sad but it was also really triumphant."
