Elizabeth Mitchell just conducted an interview with TVLine in which she said the following:

TVLINE |  What have you gone and done that they needed to add an extra hour to this week’s episode? MITCHELL | Oh, you know…. [ Laughs] We had this amazing director, Eagle [Egillson, for Part 1], and when we were shooting it, I just liked what he was doing. I thought it was so fun and dramatic and kind of just wonderful, like a sweeping, epic fantasy. I guess [the producers] felt like it was so much fun, they wanted to add more. And there’s a lot more, too, with Lana [Parrilla]’s character, which is joyful for me because I love watching her.
