Before Flower ever joined a commune or a cult (the biggest difference between the two was that she could wear shoes and call her family in the commune), the character had a completely different name. She was a woman named Susan Montero, which was a special surprise for Sheila Carrasco. “[The writers] asked me for a couple of options for the last name, and that was the biggest family name I had, but I didn’t tell them that,” Carrasco explained to The List.

When it came time for the table read for “Flower’s Article,” Carrasco was ecstatic to be able to add a lot more depth to her character. However, it was the hippie’s birth name that left her speechless. “When they chose it, it really meant a lot, because that was my abuela’s last name,” she told us.
