Watch: Golden Globes: What Sterling K. Brown's Wife Ryan Michelle Bathe Thinks of NSFW Paradise ScenesWarning: This article contains spoilers for Paradise season two, episode four. Paradise has taken an even more devastating turn. As Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) embarked on a journey to find his wife Teri Rogers-Collins (Enuka Okuma) in Atlanta during season two, fans were introduced to one of the survivors on the surface in the first episode: Annie Clay (Shailene Woodley). But within four episodes, the medical student-turned-tour guide ultimately died with Xavier by her side. While the agent had spent his days since the global catastrophe in a state-of-the-art underground bunker in Colorado, where he was trying to find out who killed President Cal Bradford (James Marsden), Annie had been living in Elvis Presley's Graceland. She had found refuge at her job, where her co-worker Gayle Edwards (Angel Laketa Moore) died from her injuries 46 days following the supervolcanic eruption. After 23 months in darkness, Annie eventually met Link (Thomas Doherty), whom she had sex with. Despite Link and his posse urging her to search for a theorized bunker in Colorado with them, she refused to go.readYellowstone Spinoff Marshals Kills Off Major Character in Premiere EpisodeAnnie, now heavily pregnant, met Xavier in episode two when his plane crashed in Memphis.

Disney/Ser Baffo"There wasn't a lot of time for her to be intellectual about it," she told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published March 2. "I think that a lot of her experience in her final moments, she had been preparing for. Because she was medically trained, she knew what the consequences of giving birth could be." "But seeing her daughter, looking her in the eyes, holding her young body," she continued, "and seeing that she was healthy and that she was going to have the fortitude to move forward in life in a way that Annie didn't, I think, gave her a peace and an acceptance that's so primal and deeply rooted."
