Thank you! :) A Closer Look: Kevin It's the end of the line for Kevin and Amber this week, when they're tracked down by the cops and arrested. Greg Rikaart elaborates on what it all means for his mentally fractured alter ego. WEEKLY: Just as Amber calms Kevin down and gets him to agree to go home, Jeff enters the boxcar. How does seeing Jeff affect Kevin? RIKAART: Considering Kevin's fragile mental state, he mistakes Jeff for Tom. It kind of sends him back into a tailspin. Any progress that Amber was beginning to make is undone. WEEKLY: Does Kevin end up attacking Jeff? RIKAART: Yes. He knocks him out with a pistol. Then he pinches him and beats Jeff up a bit. WEEKLY: When Michael, Jana and Daniel arrive do they intervene and calm Kevin down? RIKAART: No. By the time they arrive, there's already a police standoff going on. WEEKLY: Michael and Amber tie up Jeff, and then Michael pushes Kevin to use Jeff as a substitute father. How? RIKAART: Michael, in some therapeutic way, thinks if will help Kevin to play out some of that anxiety and pain he's feeling with Jeff. Kevin ends up taking more of his anger on Jeff. WEEKLY: Meanwhile, the police end up arresting Amber; is Kevin aware of this, and does he freak out? RIKAART: No. Kevin's not really cognizant of what's going on. WEEKLY: Gloria arrives on the scene just as Michael is coaxing Kevin out of the boxcar, promising he'll be by his side. Is Kevin receptive to Michael's plea? RIKAART: Yes. Kevin believes Michael. Michael assures Kevin that he'll be helped, and he walks out trusting him. WEEKLY: Unfortunately, Michael can't keep his word. The police swarm Kevin, pushing Michael away and making it impossible for Jana or Gloria to get to him. What's the whole scene like? RIKAART: Jana and Gloria are trying to be there for what they're hoping will be something of a happy ending, but it's not. Kevin's not cognizant of them or what's going on around him. The cops really overwhelm Kevin, and he becomes somewhat catatonic. WEEKLY: The cops cuff Kevin, and Amber tries to reach out to him, to no avail. What is Kevin's mental state? RIKAART: He's in a fragile, pretty bad place WEEKLY: Is Kevin aware of everything he's done? RIKAART: He kind of goes in and out of moments of lucidity. So he's somewhat aware of it, but not fully comprehending it all. WEEKLY: Is this the lowest psychological low Kevin has ever endured? RIKAART: Up until this point, yes. But unfortunately, it's going to get worse before it gets better.
