Episodes are not necessarily listed in the order in which they were filmed or exhibited, but rather (in some cases) in the order the scripts were commissioned. 

Note: this abbreviated season, when the series was brought back by “popular demand,” is only seven episodes. They were to serve as an “audition” for any subsequent season(s).
