“Simon has had access to a world that other people have not,” executive producer Oliver Goldstick told TVLine after the finale. “He’s aware of another reality besides the one we all see on a daily basis. So we felt like, if you spent this much time trying to save somebody else and you had immersed yourself so deeply into that world, could you be sucked into the vortex of that until you were trapped as well?”
