Nia asked Penelope Douglas:

In relation to Will and Damon's state of mind, would you consider them needing some sort of therapy? From Damon's perspective, we know he is very self-aware and is not in denial and Will's, we still need to learn about him. Not to go super deep into character analysis of fictional characters, but it is just because they channel their inner turmoil into their significant others and it's not fair to both Winter and Emmy

Penelope Douglas Well, personally, I think we all could use someone to talk to. ;) But honestly, I think of the horsemen as one person--a unit--that all work in symbiosis with each other. Michael is the leader. Kai is the wisdom. Damon is the passion. Will is the heart. They all support and rely on each other but also check the other when they need to.

Damon is unique, definitely an anti-hero, channeling his anger in everyone around him, but I don't think he targets Winter, because of what happened to him. I think he targets her, because he sees her at fault. He sees that what she did as an abandonment of him, but he rejects his responsibility in how everything went down. She was the one thing--other than Banks--he loved.

As for Will, I think he's justified--more than the others--in his resentment. But there are two sides to every story, so we'll need to learn her side, too.

I hope that answered your question. Thanks for asking!
