“Why were you so nasty to Susan? You were a condescending dismissive jerk.” -Zooey

When SYFY’s SurrealEstate returned this past Wednesday, viewers saw Susan (Sarah Levy) in the agency leader role while Luke’s been “off having your two-month case of the Mondays” and dealing with the loss of his abilities. She’s a natural leader who’s very strong and very efficient, and has been doing an excellent job keeping The Roman Agency afloat. However, when Luke (Tim Rozon) returns to work, the workplace environment starts to get a little toxic.

In an exclusive interview with PopWire, Director/Executive Producer Danishka Esterhazy talks about the conflict in Luke and Susan’s work relationship and Luke’s questionable behavior.

“I think Luke is in pain,” Esterhazy tells us. “He’s going through a really difficult experience in Season 1 with his family — finding out the mysteries and secrets about his mother and his sister. And then he’s lost his abilities, which although his abilities have always been something that he’s usually struggled with and to come to grips with, they also allowed him to speak to his deceased father, whom he has this very important relationship with and now he can’t contact his father in any way.

“I think Luke is really suffering,” she continues. “He’s really spiraling out of control because he doesn’t know who he is without being the famous Luke Roman with this ability to reach through the veil and talk to the deceased. Because he’s in pain, he lashes out and he feels threatened, and Susan is a Type A personality and she can be a little insensitive so naturally they end up butting heads and it’s a very challenging relationship that they have to find a way to mend.”

While we wait and see if Luke and Susan can mend their relationship, viewers of SurrealEstate may have seen the end of another, as Megan (Tennille Read) and Luke reunited at the front door of the newly-sold Donovan house and said her goodbye.

“I think Megan is at a point in [the Season 1 finale], where she definitely needs to take a step back,” Tennille Read tells SYFY WIRE. “She’s come to that point where she deals with life and death in her schooling. And now her personal life is consumed by these heightened life and death stakes as well. It’s just a lot for her to process. I don’t think she could give it the right amount of processing by being in the world of Luke Roman. I’d like to think she’s taking a moment.”

We’re hoping that moment will be brief, however, as Read says that there’s something about Megan and her curiousity that will keep her in the world of this. “It would be really fun to play an on-site medic for The Roman Agency,” she offers, “because they go through the ringer with some of these houses. They need Megan.”

As Megan heads off to her residency program, her return to the series — timing up in the air — thankfully is not entirely ruled out. “Megan has her own journeys during season one, and they don’t involve the Roman Agency,” Danishka Esterhazy says. “But I believe we will see her again! I know that our writers love Megan and they have some fun ideas for season three…”

SurrealEstate airs Wednesdays at 10pm on SYFY.
