Nancy Drew episode 18 will be considered season 1 finale

There’s been a lot of confusion out there when it comes to Nancy Drew episode 18 — almost as much as mysteries on the show itself. After all, The CW has promoted the installment as the “spring finale,” indicating that there could be more coming down the road for season 1.

What’s the reason for a lot of the confusion? It has a good bit to do with the simple fact that this was not meant to be the season finale originally. Networks have struggled over the last little while to try to figure out the proper terminology when it comes to how to promote their shows. They don’t want to overly-emphasize that something is a finale when it doesn’t feel like one … but that doesn’t make it any less of a finale when it airs. It’s just a more incomplete one.

Speaking via Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Melinda Hsu Taylor made it clear that in her mind, this will be the end of the season:

“We are calling this a season finale … There is plenty more story to come, which we will pick up with in season 2. We’re excited for that, but this is now the season finale.”

Some of the story for season 2 could technically be stories that were planned for season 1, but it could all be semantics in a way. The most important thing here is that there are going to be opportunities to see some cool stories coming up — and mysteries that will allow more questions and hopefully good teases for the future. We already have a good one with that big paternity twist that recently went down. (Read more about that here.)
