We’re getting closer to February 8th and information for the midseason premiere has been released. The title of episode 9 is: “What Happened and What’s Going On” and the description is: “After all the recent trials the group has faced, a slight detour might prove to be the solution they’ve been looking for.”

In a Variety article from back in 2014, Scott Gimple gave a teaser of what to expect in the second half of season 5.

Things are gonna get super hard at the beginning of Season 5B. Every eight episodes it’s a new show, and these eight episodes coming up are very much aligned with that, maybe the starkest example of that so far. We begin in a very dark place and our group is broken by what’s happened. And then things change, but who are they by the time things change? That’s the question. Have they been so hardened that they won’t be able to recognize opportunities in front of them?
