what’s crazy about the rain is that it was actually raining in LA when they were filming, so I’m not sure if they even wrote the scene to have rain. i know you usually have to schedule on location filming quite a bit in advance so I’m not sure if it was even planned for a rainy day (of which LA has very few) or if it’s just the best coincidence

So here's the thing. According to this the scene is for 810, which allegedly wrapped before 808 aired. Also, its a 3 day advance for scheduling in that part of LA and itd been a little rainy the week before.

Option 1: they did reshoots bc LA had rain and tim wanted rain for that scene. Option 2: The were waiting for rain to film the scene, but it'd been planned out since before the hiatus.

There's other options, but these are the ones I think are the most likely. The fact that it's a more public scene (hello, the leak probability just shot up) could have factored into the timing. Maybe they wanted to drum up attention as we gear up for 8b, maybe they wanted to avoid a long drawn out panic attack over Eddie leaving at the start of the hiatus. I don't know.

What I do know is that I think the rain was a key factor in the making of the scene, not just a coincidence. Tim is way to cliche for a coincidence like that :)
