Notes

This episode was moved around numerous times. It was originally scheduled to air on November 27, 2007, then FOX moved it to January 4, 2008. It then moved from January 4 to February 22. Next it was moved to April 28, so it could begin the final run of new episodes for the season, just in time for May sweeps. FOX then decided to move it back two weeks to April 14 before moving it back to April 28. All of these scheduling changes were most likely due to the Writers' Strike and the lack of new episodes resulting from it.
