I'm wondering how airing this episode out of order is going to affect the continuing plot lines?
Morning After is episode 8. Episode 7 is Closure, and it was pushed back to January 8th.
Fox even acknowledged they're airing them out of order:
Star Crossed -

Morning After - http://www.fox.com/schedule/showinfo/tru/tru_108.htm
Messing with the order episodes aired in destroyed Firefly. Although airing a better episode at this critical time is a good idea, I can't see how they can flip-flop episodes with everything going on in the show with finding out what Davis knows about Tru's powers, Tru/Luc, Lindsay/Harrison and so forth.
Murdering someone, perhaps accidently, is so much Faith territory, that it's going to be very hard to avoid comparisons. And the promo looks like Eliza is doing a bit of overacting. Which would be very difficult to not do when trying to make Tru different than Faith, especially when Faith was so much more subtle. I wish they'd waiting later in the season to do this episode.
