FIRST did have substantial knowledge of the story for this episode as confirmed in this Frank's Blog. I honestly think it will be more of a non-issue than most here are trying to make it out to be, and is still representative of our community as a whole (as very well proven by the arguments made in this thread.) Frank even admits that this will cause discussion in the community, but clearly it could not have been damaging to FIRST in the end as people such as Blair will make an appearance in the episode.
