Yes to both. BC/HW was a ratings loser. They saw that in S05 when midseason episodes that pushed BC/HW back in favor of WotW and Nick and Monroe going after the Grimm treasure raised the numbers up, and bringing BC/HW forward again afterwards brought them right back down again. When shooting on S06 began, the hope was that burying the arc ASAP might bring the numbers up high enough to convince the network to order another 13 episodes, but that was probably never really a possibility.
