How damaging is the information in Henry's file? "It's going to change her life forever and it's even going to change the trajectory of the show," said Corman. "It's going to change her perception on the world of the CIA and the greater world, and it's going to thrust her into more danger than we've seen to date."

What challenges might Annie and Auggie face? According to Corman: "Any time you have two people are romantically involved and work together, it gets way more complicated than any other relationship. Case in point is Joan and Arthur. We have already in our show a cautionary tale about how difficult it can be to maintain a relationship, and Annie and Auggie's relationship will parallel that of Joan and Arthur's and differ in some remarkable ways as well."

So... will Annie and Auggie be together on Season 4? "That remains to be seen. We want to honor what we set up to a certain extent, so it's going to become far more complicated than they could have even imagined very quickly."
