UnREAL's Constance Zimmer on Finale Shocker, Season 3 'Consequences' 

took a sharp turn during Monday’s Season 2 finale of

With Coleman and Yael determined to expose all of the dating show’s dirty secrets, Rachel and Quinn tried desperately to save their jobs and their lives. But it was Jeremy who, after learning that his ex had been raped, stepped up and did the unthinkable in order to win back her trust. At the close of the episode, the trio (plus Chet) watched as a news report revealed that Coleman and Yael’s car had been run off the road.

With the production potentially responsible for another two murders, “that’s going to be something for all of [the characters] to address” next season, star Constance Zimmer tells TVLine. “Somehow, somebody has to get in trouble. I don’t know how that’s going to happen or if that’s going to happen, but we have to have consequences for our actions.”

On the romance front, Quinn plotted to blindside Darius with a live

 wedding but got a surprise of her own when Rachel and Jay reunited the football player with ex-contestant Ruby. The couple didn’t get hitched or even engaged — she sensibly turned down his proposal because they’ve only known each other for a short time — but it was still as close to a fairytale ending as one gets on

Below, Zimmer talks about the season ender’s deadly cliffhanger and the “new energy” it brings to the Lifetime drama. The actress also reflects on Quinn’s own quest for true love and her fraught relationship with Rachel.

TVLINE | Which finale twist shocked you most?

Oh, the Coleman and Yael situation, for sure. That to me was like, “Wait, are you joking?! How are we going to do that? And what’s going to happen after we do that?”

TVLINE | Quinn and Rachel always seem to find some way out of these situations. But it really seemed like they were backed into a corner, and you had to wonder how they were going to stop Coleman and Yael.

Exactly. This is also what’s interesting about the way it ends: All four of those characters, they’re a really, really f–ked up family, if you want to look at them that way, and it shows you that they’re all just as evil [as each other]. It’s not just Quinn and Rachel. This is where I sit here and defend my character, but ultimately, I didn’t do it, and neither did Rachel. If you want to put it under a magnifying glass, we didn’t ask anybody to do that. It’s going to be interesting, though, how it affects them emotionally next season.

TVLINE | Technically, Jeremy was acting on his own. He got off his high horse and became one of them by doing this horrible thing. But at the same time, the story seems to be shifting into a redemptive arc for him.

Right. I think that he was pushed into a corner of feeling like, “I’ve done so much wrong. How do I redeem myself in the eyes of these women?” You come into this

world, and it kind of deteriorates you from the inside. Look at what happened to Coleman. Was Coleman that way before he came? We answer that question in [Episode] 10, but I like that up until [Episode] 9, people kind of looked at it as if he became bad being around us and seeing how the viciousness actually works. But then we reveal in [Episode] 10 that he was kind of a turdball the whole time [

], which I was very happy about, because I was like, “Quinn is always right.”

TVLINE | Season 1 ends with just Rachel and Quinn on the lounge chairs, talking about how they killed Mary. Then Season 2 ends with Rachel, Quinn, Jeremy and Chet in a similar situation. Is it the four of them against the world now?

Yeah. That’s what it feels like to me, like we’re all in this together, and it’s not us against them, which I like, because we’ve seen when it’s men against women and boyfriends against girlfriends and all that kind of stuff. So with them all working together going into Season 3, that creates a whole new energy that we have not done yet.

TVLINE | Rachel and Quinn have been through a lot this season, and in the finale, you have Rachel and Jay conspiring behind Quinn’s back. What kind of place do you feel like their relationship is in at the end of Season 2?

I think they’re good. End of Season 1, we all knew that Rachel was going to be out to get Quinn because of what Quinn did to Rachel, and now at the end of Season 2, they kind of have bigger fish to fry. Yes, there’s going to be backlash [about] how Rachel did something behind Quinn’s back, but ultimately, I think going to go into Season 3, they’re going to be on the same team, because they

to be, and I prefer them on the same team. They’re better together. They’re incredibly volatile when they’re not together, because they’re vying for each other’s attention.

TVLINE | There was a great scene where Quinn is watching the monitors as Darius and Ruby are having this sweet moment. What was going through her head in that moment?

It’s definitely some of the emotions brimming over from what happens in Episode 9, where Quinn thought that she had found true love and ultimately ended up pushing it away because of what she felt were her misgivings or [fears of] being a disappointment to someone. For me, in that moment, it was all about just Quinn realizing that true love

s exist, but will she ever find it? Or is it too late for her? In the reality of the show, it was a real moment that you don’t see very often. That emotion was like, “Wow. This can happen. True love

happen.” That’s rough for Quinn. Quinn’s got a lot of issues. [

Yeah. Weird, right?! And then it takes a really wrong turn — no pun intended. [

Stop trying to make Jeremy happen! He’s not going to happen!!!

Yeah, Lifetime execs, are you listening? Why are you forcing him on the show? Nobody wants him there.

Maybe he was…Until he became the online-backed voice for “Black Lives Matter”, clearly trying to guarantee Rachel’s “first black suitor”, who arrived with an all-black entourage, ended up with a black contestant who herself was only there due to Rachel’s promise she could get her racial-reparations-related message out to the viewers.

A ridiculous ending fit for this ridiculous season. Only positives were Darius/Ruby and the reactions that accompanied them. I hate that Jeremy now seems a permanent member of Team Rachel-Quinn, after his verbal and physical abuse earlier this season. I understand flawed, complex characters, but there has to be *something* likeable about them and UnReal just went too far this year.

This season was just bad overall for me. What a disappointment. I was wondering why the quality dropped so much after season 1 and it turns out one of the show’s creator peaced out. It makes sense now. Her absence was clearly felt.

This season was a total dude.it had Sophmore slump written all over it. This finale was 59 minutes of filler then Cue Ruby which I figured out days ago. Then the car crash. I wonder who’s going to die next season? Who will be on the lounge chairs during the final scene during the finale? I hope it’s boo. He’s my favorite. Bringing back Ruby for the happily ever get after does no make up for the Darius shooting.

Kim Matula in that lingerie..Darius should have picked her and ran. lol

I left the show at the end trying to figure out how Jeremy made it happen: Did he cut the brake-lines, was he driving the car that ran them off the road,… What? Wanting something done & actually doing the something are two very different things.

On the other hand, I disagree that anyone has to answer for anything next season… They never showed nor said if the “exposing” team survived or not. Even if they did, they may decide for one reason or another not to tell their stories (especially since Coleman told Rachel that he was going to tell all the truths after she had discredited Yael’s ability to), & nobody (not even the outer show’s viewers) can surely say how the outer show’s staff was involved in the final-scenes accident…

So why not just a clean start for Season 3? Maybe it’s a time the outer show can show viewers how that might look/be-created.

I would have preferred seeing Quinn and Rachel on the same side all season like how it started, but it turned out to be a decent season in the end. Maybe not as strong as the first, but still better than anything else on summer tv.

Rachel subtly manipulated Jeremy. She knew he was unhinged, still hung up on her and that he’d do anything for her. Those 2 deaths are on her.

As much as a mess this season felt to me I have to say for the most part I enjoyed the finale. I do hope they dont try and make Jeremy and Rachel happen, even though I wouldnt be surprised if she gives into him for “saving them” from Coleman or because he doesn’t blame her for what happened to her as a child.

Also my only hope for next season is PLEASE more adam. His scenes where by far my favorites this whole season, and there is definitely unfinished business with him and Rachel, i mean she only turned him away because she thought Coleman was going to take care of her.

That’s impossible when I don’t think it’s right to say he had more than one scene this year… Regardless, bringing back Adam when there was a totally (in every way) different person in his place & his story was told (unlike, say, bringing Coleman back next season to show he lived) would be basically admitting no growth on the part of the “UnREAL” crew (those on or off-camera).

I loved the finale and unReal in general- this show is amazing in that there is continuous action and entertainment, yet at the same time is incredibly deep and puts you in touch with complex emotions when relating to the characters. Yet it is still so fun to watch! I consider it a guilty pleasure.

Well, this show was just too ridiculous this season. I don’t mind a show being silly or overly soapy, but nothing about this season was consistent.

The whole leak story was ridiculous. An ex-employee tells a story that another ex-employee and an ex-contestant get a mentally unstable and obviously drugged-out-of-her-mind current employee to back up on video, without a shred of physical evidence, and they think that’s enough to blow everything up? Not even Gawker would touch that turd of an expose. There were no real stakes there.

I just need Rachel and Quinn on the same side for more than half the eps. I just didn’t like them seeing them apart this season.
