Though I am curious how they've done without "Ever After" which so perfectly sets up the seemingly ended "I wish" stories, before the "to be continued" that leads into things not ending with "happily ever after" at all. It's such an integral part of the concept of the show... in fact, I imagine one could have found a way to film it and make it work. But I'm curious to see what they do instead.

I don;t know how they're doing it, but in my head, the fact that a bit of "So Happy" precedes "Ever After" in the show says to me that one could just segue to a modified version of "So Happy" - which really serves the same purpose as "Ever After" in terms of plot. Things that are covered in "Ever After" not in "So Happy" - for instance, the new beanstalk, the Witch lamenting her loss of power, etc, could all be worked into a modified "So Happy," or could be shown visually without having to be voiced in the song.
