Three remaining episodes were written during the first production cycle, and were scheduled to be aired between "Jesse Judge Lawncare" and "Youngbloods". However, due to a production issue with "Archer", they were postponed in conjuncture with FX wanting to end the two shows in sync. The episodes later animated and burnt off. They aired on December's 6, 13, and 20th.
