Episode Eleven, Wherein the Teams Move on With Their Lives
The Cubs decided not to challenge the White Sox for Chicago supremacy in 1943, and the city series was never played again. For the next half-century, though, the two teams found ways to keep the rivalry afloat until interleague play found its way to the regular season in 1997. Current broadcasters Pat Hughes of the Cubs and Jason Benetti of the White Sox help to wrap up the series as they chime in with their thoughts on how the crosstown series is viewed today.

Episode Ten, Wherein the City Series Concludes
During the 1930's, the White Sox rediscovered American League relevance and then lost it again, the Cubs won three pennants but ended the decade wandering through the desert, and through it all, the south siders continued their reign of city supremacy. By the early 1940's the steam had run out of the crosstown rivalry. This episode will take you through the final decade of the fabled city series before it all ended in 1942.

Episode Nine, Wherein Attendance Soars and the Cubs Get on a Roll
In 1929, the Cubs lived up to everything they had been building towards, setting attendance records and winning the national league. Their magical season was sandwiched between some of the most exciting municipal series ever played in Chicago. Historian Ed Hartig returns to discuss how the Cubs took over as the city's darlings while the White Sox stumbled. And the early 30's also marked the deaths of a few Chicago legends, who are remembered in this episode.
