In season 2, episode 3 of Blindspotting, Sean, Miles, and Ashley have their first family weekend in jail. However, things don’t go as planned once Sean uses the n-word and they have to explain the meaning of it.

I talked to Jess Wu Calder, who directed this episode, about how the team went about exploring the history of the n-word, showing the reality of a family dealing with a loved one in prison, and having Helen Hunt’s character Rainey explore prayer.

Blindspotting airs Fridays on Starz.
