Owen is the creator's pet they would never let him get kicked off that early. No they couldn't Sierra was new so they had to squeeze development in for her as possible and Cody needed to stay to be her satellite love interest and Heather had a MAJOR conflict with the main antagonist. Their was no room to squeeze in development for Team Victory.
