Since s4 they have had this problem of trying to cram a sstory that would need 15-16 episodes into 10-11 episodes and then wrap up and move onto the next one. 5A was particularly bad since not only did they have pretty weighty arcs for their mains, but they had four guest stars, bumping the number of characters in that arc up to 15. So they had to handle 15 character arcs, and so they dropped a lot of threads.
