The initial hour ends with a reveal that sets the stage for the rest of the series, and though it's a sweetly told little story, it's not a great indicator of what things are going to be moving forward. The pilot is shaped primarily to deliver that twist, and unless the writers have a lot more twists up their sleeve, the weekly episodes are probably not going to be much like this first one.
