“The episode we’re currently filming [early June], Veritas, which was written by Alan McCullough, is wonderful and Amanda is directing it so well. She’s an incredible director, and that’s beyond just delivering cool visuals and amazing performances. Production-wise, Amanda is bringing this story in under-budget and early, which is very difficult to do on our limited budget.

Amanda directed an ep called "Veritas" in which Magnus goes "completely off her rocker." This ep really showcases Will's loyalty to Magnus -- "when the world turns it's back on her, he can be counted on to stick with her." Damien Kindler says that they wanted to deepen Will and Helen's relationship this season (in a non-shipper way) - they didn't want the relationship to be stagnant and just about capturing monsters.
According to Robin, "there's a groundedness to the characters this year" and "Will and Magnus are more honest with each other." Will will call her out when needed and tell her things she doesn't want to hear, but needs to hear.

Say goodbye to the stoic, uptight Helen Magnus. "We want her to get that stick out of her ass!" says Amanda Tapping, who plays the enigmatic 157-year-old doctor. "Magnus has been very rigid, and for good reason--she has an overwhelming duty as the protector of the world's abnormal creatures. Next season, she will light up and let herself go a bit. She'll become much more accessible." But she'll also be suspected of murder. In an episode titled "Veritas," directed by Tapping, Magnus "seems to go completely insane, and all sighs point to her being a killer. It's up to Will (Robin Dunne) to unravel the mystery."
