From a media release:
At 10:00 PM, FLASHPOINT was first in households (5.8/10), viewers (8.55m), adults 25-54 (2.9/07) and adults 18-49 (2.2/06), all series highs for the original summer drama. Compared to the last first run episode (on 8/21/08), FLASHPOINT was up +18% in households (from 4.9/08), +16% in both adults 25-54 (from 2.5/06) and in adults 18-49 (from 1.9/05) and added +1.34m viewers (from 7.21m, +19%).
Hi Diane, CBS announced the episode 9 the “season finale”
What’s append with the 4 ep left (if they exist) ?
I don’t know what’s happening … I don’t think CTV has released info on what’s happening after that one airs either, but I’m sure the 4 other eps do exist. I’ll post if I can get info.
Maybe they don’t want move once again Flaspoint, the Thursday 10pm slot is not available until mid-october, ER start sept 25, and CBS’s 11th Hour start oct 9.
CTV already done that with Instant Star, they stopped the second season affter 8 eps, and air 5 left before the third season the next summer.
Maybe they want a long mid-season of 17 episodes in January, or a summer run with a early start in april-may
Rumor says CBS kepp the unair episodes for the november sweeps if Eleven Hour is a flop.
… Probably a good financial move, but it’s a “if”, and we just start to have a storyline !
The other four episodes exist. CBS has just put the show on “hiatus” while they roll out the new season. I suspect they are being held in reserve to fill a hole in the schedule when one of their new shows goes belly-up.
CTV has no episode scheduled for the following week, and I suspect that they are merely following CBS’s lead. CTV had originally listed these latest two episodes for Sept 4th and 11th — a week ahead of CBS — but then bumped them back to simulcast with CBS.
On the other hand, CTV’s announced fall schedule (seen at falltvpreview.com) has FLASHPOINT in the 10:00pm slot on Friday nights, so I don’t know if they’re planning to air the final four episodes ahead of CBS.
For what it’s worth, TV2 in New Zealand has been airing Flashpoint on Wednesday nights. They’ll be airing the episode “Eagle Two”, which has so far been unaired on CTV and CBS, on November 19th.

I’m not making this a post because it seems to be speculation, but this was in Entertainment Weekly’s Ask Ausiello this week:
Question: Do you know when CBS’ Flashpoint will be back? — Janice
Ausiello: It’s the front-runner to take over The Ex List’s old Friday 9 pm time slot later this year or early next.
Another FYI: New Zealand’s TV2 has another new episode, “Haunting the Barn”, scheduled for Nov 26th. That’s not a title I’ve seen given for any of the final four of the first season, so I assume it’s a retitling.
