Season 3 put Joe in a dramatically different position after she became the target herself, something Saldaña believes explains why so much of the story unfolded closer to home.

“Joe was the victim,” she explains. “She was the one that was extracted, and she was the one that had to get herself out.”
“In a way, I almost feel like Joe was the Lioness in season 3,” Saldaña continues. “Once again, she was placed in that position where she wasn’t the puppet master, like Kaitlyn is.”
Instead, Saldaña says Joe was forced into the same vulnerable position as the operatives she typically oversees.
“She was forced to become that Lioness that has info, has, in a very forceful way, infiltrated very close on a target and has to get herself out,” she says. “She was the target, and she was also the Lioness.”
As for what Sheridan could have in store if the series continues, Saldaña admits even she doesn’t know. “I don’t know if we’re able to go to a season 4,” she says. “I don’t know where he would take it.”
