This is the best explanation I was able to find, couldn't figure it out from the one on DeGroot textbook

excellent derivation for easy understanding!!!!

I realize he stated that it was arbitrary to add those additional parts to complete the square, but I'm still not sure why that's allowed?

[@ianfukushima1316]

He is not using equality sign, he is using proportional sign. So, for example, A = exp(B) is proportional to exp(B + C) = exp(B)exp(C). In the demonstration, it is important that the added term doesn't depend on theta.
