Originally "The Council" was intended to be a single episode but it ran long so scenes were added including ones involving a character portrayed by Nicolas "Coach" Colasanto.I just watched both halves of The Council (season 2), and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think I like the two-parters for the Batman-like cliffhangers. I didn’t feel this one was padded.
Coincidentally, another two-parter intended originally as a single episode was the Laverne & Shirley episode "The Bardwell Caper" in season six which spoofed Mission: Impossible. It was expanded by showing how the mission should go in Part 1 and showing what actually happened (with the expected mishaps) in Part 2.
