there are 4+ other main characters/actors on the show that also need their screentime

Timothy Jimothy Minear-othy has admitted he doesn't plan the individual character beats that far out

he probably hasn't started planning in depth for the 2nd half of the season yet (or maybe they're just starting that process now) which means they haven't secured non-main actors for those eps yet so Lou can't say he's appearing in any further episodes

there are still 10+ episodes left in the season and honestly unless there something happened behind the scenes with Lou or with the network to cause a hard stop to the storyline, I can't see this being dropped purely BECAUSE there has been such care taken up until now (and if something did happen, well, that's that.)

I had something else to say, but I forgot it. Will edit back in if I remember.

OH, I remember! If I was a showrunner and had a new pair that the audience loved and I was writing The Big Drama Show, I'd put them through the wringer too

Mr. Minear-othy might be reading the Facebook comments and cackling at the response to part 1 of his Grand BuckTommy Plan
