Ah, what a modern fairytale!
But things are going to take a turn and soon.
“There’s some big twists,” showrunner Christina Lee warns EW.

That’s just a credit to our incredible cast on the different levels that we can go to."
Below, theMade for Loveshowrunners tease what else fans can expect from the rest of season 2.
Hazel was in flight mode almost all of season 1, never really had time to stop and evaluate.
Now suddenly, all of that facade has dropped.
We were thinking a lot about power dynamics as well, and role reversals within a relationship.
This week, she’s mad at him, he’s got all the power.
This week, she owes him a favor.
How can a relationship evolve, or is it always what it’s meant to be?
That’s what we’ve examined in season 2.
But here we are!
What’s going through her mind at this point?
LEE:Oh yeah.
Last year she had such a definite goal.
And then this year, it’s these feelings that she’s having, she’s not prepared for.
But while she’s there, things are starting to change for her.
I spent 10 years suffering in here, trapped with no autonomy.
In that spontaneous moment, she was just feeling it and tested it out.
Has what I want and who we are maybe shifted?"
LEE:And the answer is both and neither.
If she were to answer, she doesn’t know.
Well, that leads me to my next question.
Is there actually potential for Byron to redeem himself?
Now whether a character like that can fully redeem himself, it’s tricky.
He’ll do the best he can through his own view.
But is he actually thinking about the bigger picture?
Is he capable of that?
Is he capable of actually thinking about somebody else’s feelings before his?
That is the question we don’t know yet.
Or, we can’t say yet.
And when does each side come out?
How does the FBI investigation come into play in the second half of the season?
LEE:That’s the most we can say without spoiling anything.
What we’ll say is there’s a lot of twists and turns in the second half.
How is the show going even bigger and wackier as we near the end of season 2?
That’s going to cause a lot of havoc in the second half of the season.
There’s so much of The Hub that viewers haven’t seen.
It’s so fitting that Byron found the cure for cancer and hasn’t shared it with the world.
NUTTING:[Laughs] And it was just an accident.
One box is not enough.
Two boxes is not enough.
I don’t know how many boxes is enough.
I mean, Ray Romano dramatically acted his heart out.
NUTTING:Right, without giving anything away.
I mean, nothing happens.
[Laughs] This is hard.
LEE:She’s a little stiff.
I mean, we love her, but she can be cold.
NUTTING:I have a better relationship with her than Christina does.
But it’s a credit to Ray’s acting, you believe it.
And I will say behind the scenes, we all treat Diane like a cast member.
She has the best seat in the house.
She gets her hair and makeup done.
She’s never tossed in a corner.
Diane is the diva on set actually.
NUTTING:People are very protective of Diane.
And I still can’t believe you gotPaula Abdulto play a holographic A.I.
version of herself this season.
How did that happen?
LEE:No one was more surprised than us.
We put it in the script being like, “We’re not getting Paula Abdul.”
And they were like, “Well, we could ask her.”
And I was like, “She’s not going to do it.”
And wow, what a performance.
