References and notes

  1. ^ This episode was shot as part of the Season 5 production run, but was added to Season 4. "Sleeping in Light" was the last episode shot in the Season 4 production run, but it was also the series finale. When the series unexpectedly was renewed for a fifth season, it was moved to the last spot in that season.
  2. ^ This episode was placed eighth of the season in the original broadcast, and on the DVD. The episode guide places it after the "Phoenix Rising," making it episode #11 in the season. As this is a standalone episode, its "true" position is uncertain, but for one exception – at the end of the episode, Captain Lochley states that Mr. Garibaldi is blaming the telepaths for the events of "Day of the Dead." While he could be referring to any telepaths, he most likely refers to those telepaths living in Down Below, who would not be around after "Phoenix Rising."
