Dodge stays with humans. Therefore, she is an intelligent, terrifying, calculative, and powerful villain. The antagonist takes over many forms because of the keys. She flirts with Tyler and lures Bode to be her friend and to find the keys. However, Netflix added a twist here. They included their original concept in the adaptation by bringing Griffin Gluck. The version of Dodge that’s portrayed by Griffin is the devil in disguise. He befriends Kinsey Locke (Emilia Jones) and eventually dates her. He also becomes friends with her brothers. In a recent interview, Griffin talked about his character and the twists in it.

He reveals it was easy for him to play the character. Dodge, in disguise, is a love interest for Kinsey. He says that his co-actor, Emilia, is his good friend. The two of them would be together on and off the screen. He reveals that those two have a good understanding and have fun while shooting.
