It just hit me how random and completely pointless the whole "new girl who was pregnant and went into labor" subplot was. Did they even mention her again after the second episode?

I thought the same thing, Maybe it was just to add to the realities of working in a "make believe fairy tale setting" like a five star resort where you repeatedly cater all these guests as the come and go, and you don't even realize that real life is happening around you and to your co-workers (that you don't even know all that much about), or I could be completely wrong on that.

Also, not sure if any show has done this yet, but it would have been interesting had the show explained that it was during covid and that everyone at the resort was vaccinated or something so they didn't have to shoot scenes in masks or whatever (but HBO might not wanna send any maskless messaging).
