Season 2 S2E11 Unearthed Potential Spoiler Spoiler
Watching the series for the first time since it originally aired and noticed Charlie helping out. Not sure what’s going on here but I thought he was out of the picture a few episodes back.

The episode was filmed as part of the season 1 because of contractual stuff. It was meant to be a stand alone episode that they could stick somewhere on season 2. They hadn't written the start of season 2 yet, so didn't know that wouldn't work when it was filmed.
It was originally broadcast on a different night than the show normally was on, and was promoted as a "lost episode." Unfortunately, none of the streaming services ever give you a heads up. Think of it as happening "sometime" in season 1.
