"With this finale, I wanted to go out as big as possible with as many question marks as possible," showrunner Patrick Sean Smith

of the season's cliffhanger ending. "Any time I ask a question on a show, I typically know what that answer is.

The cancer drama ended its run with a series-low 486,000 total viewers. It was produced by BV Family Productions, Lionsgate, Televisa and ABC Family. Exec producers include Smith, Susanna Fogel, Joni Lefkowitz and Aaron Kaplan.
