The general consensus is that it was produced as the 13th episode of season five, but was aired out of order. The episode will not be included on the Season 4.
Eureka is a fictional town that starts in Washington then shifts to Oregon. At the end of the pilot episode, Marshal Carter is handed a letter that says he is being transferred to Eureka, Washington to become the acting sheriff.
For most of the rest of the first three seasons there is no reference to what state in the U. Clues to the city's location are shown in flags and other references, but the shift to Oregon is not confirmed until the episode "What goes around comes around" season 3, episode 18 when Jack receives an airline ticket from Eureka, Oregon to Australia. Most of the series is shot in British Columbia, but some city hall scenes were shot in Ashland, Oregon.
They put it in the "previously on" part because the original scene was to long for the aired episode, so they had to cut it down. A "director's cut" featuring the full scene is included on the DVD release. Kevin's father is dead; this was established in the episode "Many Happy Returns," Season 1 Episode 2.

So Eureka appears to be on hiatus until after Christmas, giving me plenty of time to fuss, fume, and explain why its treatment of its major autistic character, Kevin Blake, makes me want to punch things. In the Pilot, we meet Kevin, and he's just a kid. His mom, who runs Global Dynamics, explains to the new sheriff, Jack Carter, that Kevin is brilliant but severely autistic, that he rarely interacts with anyone.
He interacts with Jack, however, and helps to Save The Day, and the young actor who plays Kevin does a pretty fair job of holding both his body and his chalk like some autistic kids we've known. There's a little bit of the Magical Autism Powers problem, but on the whole Kevin gets to be a contributing member of the team. While his mom is a little overprotective, the other people say, hey, we have a problem, it's in Kevin's field of expertise, well done Kevin, good show.
Like, y'know. He's a person or something. Go figure. So when timprov and I first watched this, we had great hopes that Kevin would continue to be a character who was treated like a person--a person with autism. A person who didn't want to do social chitchat with the other characters, a person who sometimes had very specific sensory issues that provoked severe reactions.
Still: a person. Good good. Things go downhill from there, with Magical Autism Powers coming more to the fore and treating Kevin like a person being less of a thing--alternating in, of course, with the regular television problem: if an adult character has a child who does not receive top billing, that child only exists when it's convenient to the plot.
Being a single parent with an autistic kid never, ever means that you have to go home suddenly for his sake or that childcare is an issue or that there are any issues at school or He requires no attention in public places unless he is about to do something plotworthy.
He is no longer Kevin, person, potential team member. He is now Magical Autism Powers Source. Then it got worse. At the beginning of season 4, several of the adult characters traveled back in time, then forward to a slightly different timeline. In this timeline, there are slight changes to the administrative structure, one character is married who was single before, and various other things.
And Kevin is not autistic. Not only that, he never was one. Gilbert and Sullivan reference] It's not a Eureka moment, where he is stated to have been cured of his autism by an experiment that happened in timeline2 but not in timelinebecause they are really, really not thinking this through, because one of the major things that would change in a shifted timeline is that people would have done somewhat different experiments.
Because the experiments are the lifeblood of these people. But anyway: if they had gone with "Kevin Blake was born autistic, but he was cured last year," there would be chewier problems than they would really want to wrestle with, about the nature of curing someone's natural default brain wiring, when a child can give meaningful consent to that and when their parent can ethically consent to it for them, that sort of thing that would be interesting conversation to have.
But no. Seeing the Sheriff as his father instead of a good family friend took some getting used to, but he eventually warmed up to the idea. As of , they also have a shared half-sister named Lacey. He remained the head of the government think tank for the following 14 years, until his sister Jenna took over in WarehouseNextGeneration Wiki Explore.
