A Series of Unfortunate Events
Williams stated that she felt strange entering the show in the final season as Kit Snicket, having a lot of "first day of school" anxiety about it. She said that the moment that struck her as most indicative of the character was in "The Slippery Slope: Part One", where she jumps off the cliff; "Kit is clearly working toward a goal large than herself and her own life. Complicated by the fact that it's not just her life that she is in charge of at the moment."
One of the hardest things to shoot for her was on her first day on set, where she had to drive a vintage taxi. She found solidarity with the fact Nathan Fillion, Patrick Warburton and Sara Rue also struggled with it.[2]
