Ethan Shanfeld SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for Episode 9 of “Dave,” now streaming on Hulu. Christine Ko’s Emma, the unaffected cool chick in Lil Dicky’s friend group in “Dave,” has been filming a documentary throughout the third season of the FX comedy, which follows Dave Burd’s autofictional title character as he embarks on a “Looking for Love” tour across America. But the finished product isn’t quite what Dave expects, as Emma includes hidden camera footage of their editing sessions — which paints Dave as obsessive and controlling — in the final cut of the documentary.
After a family and friends screening, Dave tells Emma he was impressed by the movie, but felt “manipulated” by her, arguing that he never gave her permission to film the editing sessions. When he begins to offer feedback, Emma cuts him off: “This isn’t our thing. It’s mine. I’m not compromising my vision for anything… There will be no more notes.”
As his friendship with Emma begins to fray, so does his relationship with budding flame Robyn (Chloe Bennet), as Dave fails to so much as mention her in the film when discussing his search for romance. Meanwhile, he’s written a Drake-like ode to his dream girl, Rachel McAdams — yes, playing herself in a multi-episode arc — and fantasizes about asking her to star in the music video. By the end of the episode, the only woman Dave can turn to is his hyperrealistic $7,000 sex doll. Sitting down with Variety, Ko discussed the penultimate episode of “Dave” Season 3, her own directorial aspirations and Lil Dicky’s process, which involves penning an entire album of songs before writing each season. And while Ko sympathizes with fans who are starving for more official Lil Dicky music, she said
