In a report by Christian Post, the 100th episode is reportedly going to be named "Souls of the Departed." There was also leaked information that the series was auditioning for a special character that will be revealed in the milestone episode. The said role is described as being "devilish" and the idea of him or her taking a trip to the underworld has been floated around. The show's fifth season is expected to cover or at least build up on the storyline of this special character up to the big reveal.
