But at the same time, there needed to be a reason for Twyla having the\u2026hopefulness and optimism, and also as a symbol of wealth not equating happiness. That was, for us, sort of what the show is about,&#8221; Levy said. &#8220;So to have a character that&#8217;s been living with this kind of wealth and has lived her life in a really beautiful, lovely, lovely way was such a nice bookend to the exploration of what wealth means and how you can buy happiness or can&#8217;t you buy happiness, and what is the true value of love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"33.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"7\">\n<p>&#8220;Start Spreading the News&#8221; is seen by Levy as the first part of the series finale.
