If you havent watched the episode yet, c’mon come back to this later.
You have been warned.
‘Station 19’Anne Marie Fox/Disney
I debated very briefly if he was AI Dean?
He was really there.
Watch on Deadline
DEADLINE: How did you get him to come back?
CARLOS MIRANDA, BARRETT DOSS
ZOANNE CLACK: It was gorgeous.
We called him up and told him we had this idea.
Its not gonna be like a big thing, but its really important.
And he was like, Stop talking.
So, he flew in from New York and he did it for us.
He just realized the importance of [the scene] and how deep that went.
DEADLINE: Im leaning into the shocking moments right now.
ZC:Theyre endgame for her at that moment.
They saw what they needed to push on and move forward.
Hes always been her rock and someone for her to lean on.
I think in that moment, she was realizing, Oh my God, its always been you.
PP:In the present, you see he takes her hand and says, Youll never be alone.
And then at Vics going away party, you see these little moments of casual intimacy between them.
I mean, she says his chili is better than Deans.
If youre not sleeping with someone, why would you say that?
In my head, do we know what it looks like?
Are they each others person?
Vic and Travis ended up with a love story for the ages.
Why did you go the route you went with Travis leaving with her?
PP:That is exactly right.
It is a love story for the ages.
I love that there are four love stories that the finale highlights.
Its absolutely every bit as valid of a life choice as getting married and putting a ring on it.
This is my favorite moment in the whole finale.
But thats the reality; your best friends change as you go through different stages.
And the way that they decided to not have that happen is to journey together.
DEADLINE: By that point, I understood why Theo and Vic werent meant to be.
But he was so sad.
As they say, people come for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
PP:As you said, I dont think anything else wouldve made sense for him.
Thats all Im saying.
It wouldnt have happened had we not had to go.
But everyone had to move on and do different things.
And that felt like where he was going to push.
DEADLINE: We see Ben proud of his daughter Pruitt on many occasions.
Similar to his destiny, she was destined to be part of Station 19.
What can you share about that decision?
Bailey was not going to be that happy about it but also understood.
What can you share about ending their story as you did?
They have both been through so much together and individually.
So yeah, everything is all about full circle.
So this was honoring that.
Is it ok if I imagine their happily ever after together?
PP:There are airplanes and he says he wants to travel.
Travis has a vision of the three of them traveling together so it is definitely in the cards.
We just thought that Travis needed to prioritize that love (for Vic) for now.
Its very its very, very possible that there is more to that story.
Traviss arc was conceived as hes making a mess of things.
He blows it all up with Emmett and Eli.
He gets to deal with his father and finds himself suddenly ready and open for the real thing.
And in the door walks Dominic Amaya and the rest will be left to to the tides of history.
DEADLINE: We will give you about 10 years before we start begging for a reunion.
We want to see what all plays out for them.
DEADLINE: Was the fire burning meant to be symbolic like, everyone is ready for a fresh start?
ZC:The wildfire was conceived from the beginning before we knew we were canceled.
I mean, obviously there would have been a lot more cliffhangers than a season finale.
It really just helped propel everything.
DEADLINE: Did you have anything else in mind for storylines before the show was canceled?
PP:There were stories.
ZC:There was also a Carina arc.
Remember when she grabbed her things and went out into the field?
DEADLINE: What do you hope viewers take with them from the series?
PP:Its right there in Andys last speech.
Carry it into your communities, carry it into your friendships, your relationships.
Be the the values, the ethos that you loved here, be that in the world.
That is the way to honor what you have loved about this experience.
Keep the good going and have that sense of community.
