-Damn. The second season ended up being almost nothing like I had originally planned.

-About a year ago this month, before the first season was even done, I was already setting the wheels in motion for season two. I know I've talked about this before, but Jaylynn was designed to be the star this season. A lot of the first half's episodes focused on her primarily and her relationships with the guys. RK and Wade both developed crushes on her, and they were in competition over who would get to date her. I decided to scrap that idea, but it had nothing to do with my damaged friendship with her. In fact, none of the things I did with Jaylynn's character had anything to do with how I felt about the girl personally. I thought about making her the butt monkey in the group and the target of abuse, but I decided not to do it. I have a strong disgust for the person I based her off of, but I don't regret having her on the show. I feel like Jaylynn was one of the reasons why the second season showed so much improvement over the first. I'm just going to say this right now: If Jaylynn finds out about this show, I might have to kill her off, just saying. You never know what the reaction could be.

-None of the episodes I planned for season two initially were ever produced, similar to certain season one episodes that were just scrapped entirely. I don't really know if they're ever going to become episodes.

-The second season was a lot more personal than the first season. RK's love for Ashley, Halley's parents divorcing, "Harvest Week," "Buster's Pen Pal," "Savin' All My Hate for You," "The Trip." These all drew from real-world experience. That's actually going to be a theme in the third season also. I just don't know how much.

-There was a much smaller amount of guest stars in this season compared to the last one. That's because I didn't feel like I needed them. That might change in the third season though, seeing as how Thank You, Heavenly has peaked at this point. I don't know, I just feel like the second season doesn't have as much star power as the first season.

-One thing I haven't realized until now is that I never explained why I made Jaylynn lesbian. The truth is I didn't see any guy with her that would actually work. The Wade storyline ran its course (I believe Jaylynn was portrayed closer to the real thing in "Wade's Birthday, Jaylynn's Bitch-day" than any other episode this season), and I saw RK more as a rival to Jaylynn than a potential boyfriend. Also largely because the girl I based her off of had a boyfriend (a black guy too, no racist) and I was shocked she would have a guy to begin with. I genuinely thought Jaylynn had a lesbian air about her, so I decided to make the character lesbian too. I don't see her as straight.

-RK has been a lot more sporadic with his sexuality this season. Well, he's still bisexual. But while he mostly just has a sexual interest in guys, he is actually capable of loving and caring for girls. He might be pansexual by the end of season three, haha. :)

-OK, so Cimorelli still hasn't reached the mainstream yet. Well, let me tell you something. It's only a matter of time before they release their debut album. They don't want to rush into anything right now. They have their Summer With Cimorelli series coming up, a big U.S. tour on the way, and more music to give to their loyal fans. I bet you this: By May 2015, Cimorelli will be one of the biggest acts in music. You can tell your friends I said so.

-I feel like season two is leaps and bounds above season one. The characters got more fleshed out and developed, there were more serious situations and higher stakes. The satire got sharper, the humor got less awkward and more comfortable. The addition of Jaylynn as well. I definitely see great things for the show next season.

-You might have noticed in my writing that RK is getting stupider. Don't worry about it. Whenever RK says something stupid, he's either in serious denial or he just wants to be difficult because he has something to hide. Whenever Buster says something stupid...it's just because he's that stupid. Wade is also a more cynical character, especially towards Buster. I'm going to keep that element in an effort to emphasize the complicated friendship Buster and Wade have.

-Other than the proposed Season 2 episodes that I scrapped entirely, there was another one I started writing that I scrapped: "Wade Goes Batshit." It was supposed to air on the same night as "No Sleep 'Til RK." In this one, Wade is rejected by a girl named Marie Rodriguez (actually supposed to be based off of what actually happened to me). She's widely known as a very sweet girl who spreads positivity, but in reality just puts up a front to be popular and is actually cold and dismissive to those who she believes are beneath her. After being constantly turned down by girls, Marie's rejection is enough to send Wade over the edge. He shaves his head and starts talking in an adult Texan accent (similar to what The Undertaker did when Triple H wouldn't give him a rematch at WrestleMania XXVIII). In the end, in the hallways, Sparky confronts Marie and gives her a "The Reason You Suck" speech. In the subplot, Buster introduces Jaylynn to the Talking Dumpster, but she develops a huge fear of it due to it being anthropomorphic. At the time, I didn't like writing the episode and thought it was lame so I stopped working on it. I might have to re-develop it. I just have to know what to do with it.

-I also think season two got better as it went on. I think the St. Patrick's Day Quartet was something I was really proud of. I don't know, those four episodes in particular really felt special to me.

-You ever heard of jumping the shark? Well, the not-as-popular opposite is called growing the beard. It's when a show has a certain episode or moment that indicates it has arrived and is reaching a high quality. I feel like "The Bad Boys Club" is when this show grew the beard. Nothing has changed since.

-"Duck Infection" was the best episode of the St. Patrick's Day Quartet in my opinion, with "My Weekend With the CimFam" being the weakest. That's not to say I didn't enjoy writing the episode because I did. But it's definitely not something that everyone can appreciate. Also, some of the jokes might not land for some people. But I really enjoyed the scenes with Christina and Katherine. Honestly, I'm all for a sequel.

-In my opinion, I'm still not into "Jaylynn the Poet" all that much. I couldn't have really flipped the two plots around, but I felt like I wrote a really good Jaylynn episode before ("Savin' All My Hate for You") and this one couldn't compare. But "The Incredible Anja Saleh" was a step up. All in all, I think "Jaylynn the Poet," while introducing Anja, was one of the weaker episodes out of the 28.

-"Super Bowl Cum-Day II" was also a favorite of mine. It definitely felt like an improvement over the first one and I was able to focus on the plot pretty easily, since the Super Bowl is a big idea for an episode. There definitely will not be one next season. Especially after what this year's Super Bowl turned into, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of great joke material. However, it would only be fair to do one for season four.

-In the second half of the third season, there will be a story arc surrounding Sparky so stay tuned.

-Well, that's all the time we have for now. I hope I was able to answer all your questions and then some. This is frostyfreezyfreeze54, creator/showrunner of Thank You, Heavenly.
