‘VisionQuest’s T’Nia Miller Breaks Down Jocasta’s “Godlike, Badass” Moment in Episode 7

T’Nia Miller says Jocasta’s apparent shift from calculating killer to emotionally complex figure in “VisionQuest” comes from treating her as one multifaceted identity rooted in scientist Josephine Carrington. In an interview, Miller discusses how that approach shapes Jocasta’s charged, morally complicated relationship with Ultron and the revelations in Episode 7.

Miller describes her first scene with James Spader as a cat-and-mouse exchange in which Jocasta uses flirtation to get what she wants. Their on-screen connection developed alongside their working relationship; she recalls Spader offering quiet support when she struggled with a few lines during filming. The article also points to the show’s recurring themes and references, including motherhood and Edgar Allan Poe.
