With only having about half of the season finale episode filmed, the showrunners pitched a Zoom-produced episode to the network — thus solving their problem. This groundbreaking feat of creativity is a first for most in the entertainment industry.

"It's important to be able to inspire people and allow people to see themselves reflected on the screen," Missick said
