You may recall that Rachel is Lucy’s friend from college and Tim’s ex-girlfriend. Explaining why the surprise return happened at such a moment,showrunner Alexi Hawley said:
“With Tim and Lucy broken up, it felt like a good opportunity to do that — but not to do the expected, which is to make it a love triangle… It seemed like a good opportunity to stir the pot a bit but also to get Jasmine back on the show.”
