1. Episode

   An episode is a part of a dramatic work such as a serial television or radio program. An episode is a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of a book. The term sometimes applies to works based on other forms of mass media as well, as in Star Wars. Episodes of news programs are also known as editions. Episodes which end in the middle of a climactic moment are often called cliffhangers, after the name used for early movie serials. Such episodes can be nearly daily occurrences in soap operas and are frequently used in season finales of many prime time shows. Episodes can be part of a larger story arc stretched out over a time period covering one or more seasons, or even an entire series run. This is especially prevalent in dramatic television series, including soap operas or science fiction series. Other genres to feature story arcs include comedies and animated programming.

Examples of episode in a Sentence

1. Carol Channing:

   I did an episode of ‘Family Guy,’ in which they wanted me to say the F-word. You know that one? Well, I refused. We finally agreed that I would say ‘friggen’… That was our compromise. And I think it was just as funny as the other.

2. Hollywood Reporter:

   I am tickled we are getting all this attention, but I don't think it's going to trigger this well-awaited re-evaluation of my episode that I was hoping for, the Simpsons has always kind of embraced the over the top side of American culture ... and (Trump) is just the fulfillment of that.

3. Hank Steinberg:

   The Navy has been incredibly supportive and excited, we had a big premiere in Washington, D.C., where thousands of military people showed up. The Secretary of the Navy [Ray Mabus] himself has been to our set and actually recorded a cameo. It's the episode where they find the message that was buried in the files of the White House. The guy who's playing the Secretary of the Navy, is the real Secretary of the Navy.

4. Margaret Atwood:

   Remember the first one? Atwood said referring to Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Two guys fly a plane in the middle of something and blow that up? The only difference is, in‘Star Wars,’ they get away, right after 9/11, they hired a bunch of Hollywood screenwriters to tell them how the story might go next. Sci-fi writers are very good at this stuff, anticipating future events. They don’t all come true, but there are interesting ‘what if’ scenarios.

5. Jason Sudeikis:

   I look at that enthusiasm for [another season], which is not at all in existence or moving towards existence as of now, to be flattering, we all do. But I also am like still, you know, eyes deep in season three. We’re still worried about this and going episode to episode. I didn’t know we were gonna get to do three seasons. None of us knew that this thing was going to take off the way it did, and people were going to respond to it the way they did.
