It seems clear that the tracks were set because the 13 episodes had the 13 episodes and we were not told if we were going to be raised for more or not.”
Happy place ultimately received a four additional chapter order But the writers’ room decided not to rush the romance, with Abbott adding, “I didn’t have time to build where I wanted to build it.
