But the reason they made this arc was to make money, so cutting the arc short doesn't make any sense as they would only loose out on making $$$. Ratings are what gets them $$$. If nobody views an episode, they make nothing from it. So ratings are indeed important. But anyway, it's only speculation and we don't know the real reason why they're cutting it short. I have mentioned a possible cause. They are all pre-planned 20 episodes.
