"That's why she's surprised. She thought they wouldn't or couldn't work together again and now here he is. But he tells her that he got assigned to the job. He himself doesn't know if it's his boss who did it or if it's a coincidence. Stranger things have happened where you talk to someone and go, 'You know, I was thinking about calling you.' Is this what's going on? Or is he lying to her?" Morales says.
Will JJ and Cruz's relationship find new ground in their new professional capcities? Is there a possibility for romance? Morales sheds some light on those possibilities.
"Let people think they're having an affair! I think that's more interesting, don't you think? Does he have feelings for her beyond the professional realm? I'm sure he has. But has he acted on it? That's the question. Ultimately, the story is very deep, very personal. It's something I wouldn't discuss about myself if I were involved and it's profound. They're special to each other," the actor said.
