Episodes Quote by Anonymous
“There's gonna be all the twists and turns you would expect and twists and turns you did not expect. The finale is probably the most jam-packed episode there's ever been. Things are packed into it like sardines. All of the life is squeezed in there. They lengthened it to 90 minutes because there's just so much. It's a supersized monstrosity.”
