Unforgettable episodes
Ortega also mentioned that the episodes will be more memorable. She told Vanity Fair: "In the first season we had episodes that really stood out visually... Every episode [of season two] that I've read so far is like that. It just stands out on its own as a very memorable scene or bit or setting, which I think is what I’m most excited for."
