Last night’s episode, in which a transgender girl is pushed off a bridge, was shot in May, after Caitlyn Jenner’s ABC interview and before her Vanity Fair cover. Says exec producer Julie Martin: “There have been a lot of stories about transgender teens, a lot of struggles, a lot of difficulty. So we’re inspired by the media, as always — what people talk about on Twitter and what we’re reading about.”
