VH1 had 2 interesting ways to go.

1) do what VEI did since Harada was around and could then be a focus if you need him in the crossovers

2) keep the narrative on Peter. He walks off with Charlene and gets up to something that we never know. Barely ever see the best version of Kris again either. He’s just eventually captured and brainwashed somehow. Seems like the buildup to that and the storylines there would have been way more interesting than Saved by the Bell crap.


The only thing the delinquents arc did was set up Zephyr as a future leader, which ended poorly for her in VH1, and that could have been achieved without jumping the shark 20 times with the Foundation letting her join them.

To be fair, seeing the Foundation capture Peter would have undermined the mystery of who the Harbinger was. For that to work, it made sense to not see him again after the battle and before the reveal.

I don't recall offhand how Faith joined the Foundation.
