The show was renewed for the 4th season at the last moment, and instead of the 18 episodes ordered for each season, this time it was renewed for only 13 episodes.

In addition to the reduced episode count, the procedural drama was also shifted to the Friday night time slot, which is considered to be an automatic rating-killer for any TV series.

The cast and crew rallied on in hopes of another last-minute revival. However, the network decided that the show had run its course, opting not to renew the show again.
