The series, an adaptation of Celeste Ng‘s best-selling novel of the same name, follows the events that happen after a controversial adoption of a Chinese-American baby, which divides the wealthy town of Shaker Heights, Ohio. It also focuses on a landlord and her mysterious tenant, a single mother named Mia.
Boone tells ABC Audio that her episode will offer a deeper look into Mia’s troubled past.
“Through the series so far — the first five episodes — she’s a very mysterious character in a lot of ways,” Boone says. “You’re getting to know her, but like little things that, like, set her off.”
“‘Why is she upset about that?’ or ‘Why is she so protective over her daughter?,'” she continues. “And ‘Why does she have… what feels like a lot of animosity towards the Richardsons?'”
“And I think in this episode you’ll get to really understand why she’s so hard and why she is so protective of her daughter,” Boone says. “You get to see her from the age of 18, just starting her life as an art student and all these really trying things that she has to go through.”
With so much going on with her character, Boone says this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
“What I hope is that people will gain — if you haven’t already — a lot of empathy for the character and really get to open up your heart to her because of what you see in episode six,” she teases.
The latest episode of Little Fires Everywhere is now available.
