Alisha, can you speak a little bit about how Nicole's relationship with Dion has sort of evolved over the course of the first season going into the second, now that his superpowers are becoming more established?

Alisha Wainwright: I think as he gets a grip on them and they're not so much tied to his emotions, he can just call them at will. It takes a lot of the pressure off, and also, there's no looming threat now, you know? The energy is out there because energy never dies, but honestly like anyone, it becomes normal life. If you look at our lives now, we're doing things [that], two years ago, [would] seem insane, but just now they're part of normal life. I think in the way that you have this big potential threat looming, after a couple years you don't see or feel anything, you just go back to normal. I think when you have the element of, he has a little bit of more control, then she feels like she has more control, and then life can just [happen]. That's where we see them at the jump of Season 2.

Alisha, how has the arrival of Tevin into their lives shaped her role as Dion's mother and protector? 

Alisha: I think Tevin is smart in letting Nicole dictate the terms and relishing what she allows to have happen. I think he's so impressed by Dion that he wants to work with him. He's like, whatever pace you need, but also [would say], "He's a kid. Let him breathe." He's not really imparting a lot of beliefs onto [Dion]. [Tevin's] more just like being an ear for him to talk to. I think these are important things, things that you would want from a mentor, whereas with Pat (Jason Ritter), Pat was manipulating and steering him in a certain direction for what he thought he wanted. Tevin's very much like, "I can relate to you. What do you want to do? How do you want to be?" You know? I think that's a much easier place for Nicole to relax.
