And that hour is called "Greenbacks" 7x05 was a waste of time. Pointless for 7A. It came and went to nowhere.

They should have saved Greenbacks for 7B and give this episode an extra hour because at some point it felt like a sneak peek for 7B. It was way too rushed Greenbacks was needed to give us Tiana backstory and introduce Facilier. That all couldn't wait for 7B, especially when they decided to move Mekia up to main cast. But the episode wasn't needed for 7A, which is my point.

More time was needed to explain more about the coven, so we can be more excited about it for 7B. As for now, they are just a bunch of hooded figures. So, it's hard to understand why we should be interested in them. They did need to set up Tiana (who somehow manages to be underutilized to the max).

But I do think they needed to explain more about the coven. I don't know if they knew enough in advance about how ABC would schedule their show.

But the hooded figures are the cliffhanger so they attempted to drum up enough intrigue about them. (As you can tell by the Guess the Witches thread, it seems pretty successful.)

I can see why Greenbacks seems like the anomaly as it was essential filler. (Filler that's needed, but still not nearly relevant to the main plotline (yet, anyway.)

Greenbacks IS essential to the core storyline for 7B. It gave the backstory to Tiana, but also Facilier who's recurring on 7b ^^ 705 is like 609 last year :)
