Showtime’s “Homeland” opened Sunday’s show with a disclaimer that said, “In light of this week’s tragic events in Paris, we remind viewers that “Homeland” contains content that a few may find upsetting”. “In its place, CBS will now air the “Livewire” episode, which THR says, “…revolve[s] around Danver’s relationship with her foster mother played by Helen Slater”. New episodes that were scheduled to air later in the season will take their place.

The network temporarily dropped both episodes.
