You’ll find several different episode guides in here. Why several? Because I have uploaded not only the official episode guide by airdate order, but also one by production order and soon there will be another one, which I created on my own. I’m still working on it and will upload it as soon as it is finished.
This one I am giong to call The Episode Guide à la Petra. It follows the rules of sense, which means, I have figured out (or at least tried to do that) the episode order that makes the most sense referring to the development of Lee’s and Amanda’s relationship (and romance) as well as the continuity of the whole story. This guide will also be commented/interpreted by me.
If you want to comment on the episode guides or have any new ideas, please contact me!

Episode Guide à la Petra
In this section I’m going to post my very personal episode order for all four seasons. It’s the order of episodes that make most sense, IMO, according to character- and relationship developments.
It’s a work in progress and thus the order can be changing a little from time to time, if I find any clues that suggest rearranging them.
At the moment my interpretations are still missing, because I haven’t had the time to write them down properly. But since so many of you asked me to upload at least the pure orders of episodes I do that now.
