Reception

Kevin Sullivan, the writer of the series told Insider that he wasn't barred from using the word "lesbian" in dialogue when writing the storyline for Luna and her crush Sam and said that "we just can't say those words because of how young our audience can skew but the joy of the episode, that I was proud of was that it wasn't an coming out episode. The entire family accepted her, there was no having to come out."
