"Fire" was originally going to be the title for episode four, but the story and script was too big to be able to fit into one episode, so the producers changed it to become a two-parter called and , therefore pushing all future episodes forward one slot. was the mid-season finale. The back half of the first season aired on Friday April 2, 2010 on Space and Syfy.
