Show generally

Question: Now that season 3 is out, has there been any updates about why Alara was written off, or why Halston Sage left the show, near the beginning of season 2? In 2019, she seemed to indicated her leaving wasn't her choice and it was what was best for the show. But, the fact that they replaced her character with another female Xelayan makes it seem like they weren't really making any changes. And with a 4th season unlikely, are there any rumors Sage will return in season 3?

Isaac: May I ask why you terminated your coupling?
Bortus: We were incompatible.
Gordon: When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce?
Bortus: No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate.
Gordon: Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that.
Ed: Do you still have the tooth?
Bortus: No. It is given to the next mate.
Gordon: Uh, let me guess. He eats it.
Bortus: That is correct.
Gordon: Yes! Man, I'm getting so good at this.

Primal Urges - S2-E2
