"Masters of Sex" season 3 episode guide talks about Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) getting anxious with a certain news about his son Henry.
However, her problems with her daughter Tessa (Isabelle Fuhrman) will pile up, too. The third season of the HBO period drama began with Virginia estranged to her now grown up kids, at least in emotional part. They live together but the children seems so far away from their mother. Tessa and Henry blame neglect why they grew apart.
In the next "Masters of Sex" season 3 episode, nothing will change. In fact, Tessa will just get worse.
Fuhrman told in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that her character Tessa will show no sign of stopping in making her mother feel about her mistakes. She also teased the arrival of new characters in "Masters of Sex" season 3 episode four.
"We have Frances Fisher and Michael O'Keefe playing my grandparents, so that plays a big role in the season and in the relationship between Tessa and Virginia," Fuhrman said in inteview with Entertainment Weekly when asked what else is coming up for her character.
"You'll see a lot more mischief from Tessa. As I said, she's smart and she figures out that Virginia and Masters are dating, so she's not in any way going to make that easier on them. This arc with [Tessa's boyfriend] Matt is really one that's been interesting, at least to me as an actress, because I get to explore this relationship that I've never experienced."
Tessa's distaste of her mother will only aggravate after she learns that Virginia is having an affair with her boss Bill Masters (Michale Sheen) who she kissed in the "Masters of Sex" season 3 premiere when she was drunk.
"She was drunk and she was a mess. I don't think it meant anything or was meant to mean anything," Fuhrman said explaining the kiss.
"It was more of her showing that she's grown up and she's an adult and she can do what she wants, and that was more of the intention behind it rather than a romantic interest in Bill. The relationship between her and Bill changes really drastically throughout the story because Tessa learns that her mom and Bill are having an affair."
"Masters of Sex" season 3 episode four is called "Undue Influence."
