Plus, what those final words might mean.
That isnt to say he has it all figured out, though.
Lewison tells Bustle of saying goodbye to school and to his breakthrough role.
Like, how am I supposed to be an adult?
How am I supposed to go attack the world?
If this had been a seasons-long master plan, Lewison hadnt known about it.
I found out in the scripts, he says of their endgame match.
We were shooting Episode 408 at the time, and I was just like,Oh my God.
I know that a lot of theTeam Paxtonfans will probably be upset, Lewison says.
But hopefully, theyll be able to recognize that [Ben and Devis relationship] does make some sense.
Looking back on the series, were there any signs that Devi and Ben would end up together?
Theres such a large breadcrumb trail for their relationship.
Devi and Ben have this magnetism to them.
Theyre always drawn to each other, both in times of strife and great triumph.
Who is the first person Ben runs into when hes freaking out about his shirt?
Ben has several romantic hero moments in Season 4, especially his love confession at the end.
Were there specific rom-coms or characters you took inspiration from?
For me,When Harry Met Sallyis one of my favorite films.
Ben is very similar to Harry, played by Billy Crystal so wonderfully.
And Billy Crystal comes up a few times in the series!
I totally forgot about that!
Thats too bad I never got to meet him I really want to.
His character [inWhen Harry Met Sally] starts off so obnoxious and rude.
[Harry and Sally] have great banter and are also enemies to lovers.
That trajectory makes a lot of sense for [Devi and Ben].
Is there anything in this final season that didnt make the cut?
The ending that was [originally] in Episode 10 was not the ending that made the cut.
I wish I could tell you, but I dont think I can.
But that ending was different.
How do you feel about the ending?
I do think that the ending [that made the cut] is interesting.
Thats always a possibility, but obviously, no plans for that now.
The show ends in a really sweet place for Devi and Ben.
How do you imagine college will play out for them?
The optimistic part of my brain is like, theyre going to work on themselves.
Hopefully, they grow together and push each other.
The other part of me is like, theyre young.
Theyre still figuring themselves out.
The person I was at 18 and the person that I am now at 22 are vastly different.
