Fontana says: “What I thought would be interesting would be, if you take this guy who has been a sexual predator, and over the course of time, the lie of ‘I’m in love with Beecher’ becomes the truth of ‘I’m in love with Beecher’. And how does that affect [Keller] and soften him and make him come to a different kind of place? I mean it’s a classic love story in the sense that Beecher’s genuine love for Keller changed Keller as a person, and kind of freed him to the point where, going from being completely selfish, he could then be completely selfless. But even so, was he [really]?”

In other words, can a leopard truly change its spots?

Sent to a different prison to await trial, Keller tries to push Beecher away – particularly since he knows that Beecher may be up for parole. But by the beginning of Season 5, after Keller’s false confession has been discovered, Beecher is sent back to Oz. Throughout the sixth and final season, as Beecher once again has a chance at freedom, Keller becomes increasingly desperate and destructive in his efforts to keep Beecher with him.

Fontana says: “What I was going for was, what [Keller] said to [ Beecher ] in terms of ‘Run as far away from me as possible’ [at the end of Season 4], was a genuine act of love. Because I think he knew of his own obsession. And he knew that the obsession would lead to a terrible outcome. So his impulse was to say ‘OK, I’m gonna push you away’. But ultimately, you know, the love becomes the thing that he knows he has to have. So hopefully it’s about the complexity of love, because on the one hand, he loves Beecher enough to know that he’s bad for him. And yet on the other hand, he loves him so much, he has to [try and] destroy Beecher, in a way, destroy his freedom, in order to possess him.”

Despite the increasingly dark turn taken by the relationship, Fontana says: “I do think that they truly did love each other. And in the way that love can be both blissful and brutal. They loved each other fully, it wasn’t just hearts and flowers kind of love, it had all the bumps and grinds of a real relationship, and of an intense … you know, kind of primal relationship.”
