I found out on G-R.net the other day that:
Continuous first-run of TPIR ends on June 15. There probably will be scattered first-run episodes after June 15 - definitely July 4 and the Back-To-School episode, but there may be a possibility of an episode with a showcase to promote the Daytime Emmys and maybe other themed episodes during the summer.
There is a make-good of the previously unaired October 7 episode (originally recorded on July 18, 2011) scheduled for June 18. My best guess is, they probably couldn't wait to air the episode because, and this is just a guess on my part, they may have had the season's first playing of Pay The Rent - a significant game with super high stakes - on that episode, and that may be a ratings-getter. We will also find out if Clock Game was played that episode (as a certain user - who is now banned - was complaining until close to Thanksgiving about Clock Game's lack of playings). I am also hoping to see Card Game played on that episode as well - as Card Game was played so rarely this season so far (I think it was seen only 3 times so far in Season 40, correct me if I'm wrong). All I can safely declare is, Spelling Bee and 3 Strikes, it's highly doubtful we will see those games played on the make-good.
