| 02-42 | 10/17/02 | Jigathon III | |
| Third in a series of all-jig programs, with the ground rule being that the jig that ends one medley must appear at the beginning of the next medley, resulting in a sort of jig relay (at least until no more matches can be found). It's time to get out your dancing shoes! | |||

| 02-46 | 11/14/02 | Brothers & Sisters | |
