Notes: Although this episode runs like the rest, the theme song is not sung at the end despite Ivan calling for it (which, by the way, has a HUGE effect). Instead, there is a special message about dealing with gang violence. And Amy Ehrlich had not joined the cast yet, so she does not appear in this episode.
