According to my DVR, there is going to be a one-hour "Chris Tells All" special next Sunday (2/15) at 8pm. They haven't done that in a long time, have they? The last time I remember was on Deanna's season, and IIRC it was to to try to make her look like less of an insufferable bitch.

I remember there was a filler episode last season. I think it was a mid-season recap or something. All I remember is they re-played Clare's intro package, which made me 100% certain that she would watch the DVD message her late father had left her. (Why else bring it up twice??) Nope, wrong.
