This can be considered the fall finale, as is common with most shows during this time of the year.In the past few months, the episodes of the show were scattered and did not have a set schedule. However, once Christmas and New Year's is over, it will have a definite schedule again.The official release date for the next episode of the show has been set to January 3, 2021. It will be very interesting to see what that brings to the table.
