1. episode

   Etymologically, the incident is that which falls in, the event that which comes out; event is thus greater and more signal than incident; we speak of trifling incidents, great events; incidents of daily life, events of history. Circumstance agrees with incident in denoting a matter of relatively slight importance, but implies a more direct connection with the principal matter; "circumstantial evidence" is evidence from seemingly minor matters directly connected with a case; "incidental evidence" would be some evidence that happened unexpectedly to touch it. An occurrence is, etymologically, that which we run against, without thought of its origin, connection or tendency. An episode is connected with the main course of events, like an incident or circumstance, but is of more independent interest and importance. Outcome is the Saxon, and event the Latin for expressing the same original idea. Consequence or result would express more of logical connection, and be more comprehensive. The end may be simple cessation; the event is what has been accomplished; the event of a war is victory or defeat; the end of the war is reached when a treaty of peace is signed. Since the future is contingent, event comes to have the meaning of a contingency; as, in the event of his death, the policy will at once fall due. Compare CIRCUMSTANCE; CONSEQUENCE; END.

   Synonyms:
   case, chance, circumstance, consequence, contingency, end, end, event, fact, fortune, incident, issue, occurrence, outcome, possibility, result, sequel

How to use episode in a sentence?

1. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio:

   I hate to interrupt this episode of court TV.

2. Bill Murray:

   I'm going to give you my little secret -- I record it. I can come home and I have recorded 61 episodes of' Family Feud,' because it's on all day long, it's on all day long and by law it has to be on all day long. But then, what I do is I take the time to fast forward in each episode all the way to Fast Money. Cause that to me is the excitement part of the show. I skip the early rounds because I don't always respect their tactics.

3. Aaron Glatt:

   Kudos to the department of health for trying to be culturally appropriate, it was a learning episode, and hopefully everyone can learn from their mistakes and do better the next time.

4. Brad Jenkins:

   When that episode of' Between Two Ferns' came out, it was a huge game changer on both sides. We realized we could be doing this kind of stuff all the time, we could be working with nonprofits, foundations, political campaigns, institutions... and the best comedy writers in the country.

5. Eric Bolling.But on Monday:

   I recognize this segment does need to be reworked to provide better context, and as such Judy Mikovits are delaying the airing of the episode for one week, let me also add that I have immense respect for Dr. Anthony Fauci and recognize Anthony Fauci as the leading expert on this topic. For the past two months, I have consistently pursued the opportunity to bring Dr. Fauci on air so that he may provide critical information to the public about the virus. The invitation stands.
