Note
A regular plural, formed with a plain -s, it serves both meanings of episode alike: a television series has episodes, and so does a life. Both meanings rest on parts that stand out from a larger whole, so context decides which is meant. A season's episodes are installments; a memoir's episodes are incidents. It always takes a plural verb, as in the episodes were filmed.
