Quoting T!M:

One episode divider for the double episode itself, and no group divider for the writing credits. The additional context for those writing credits can be stored in the "Custom Role" field.


I think that is how I will do it.
But to be sure what will be title of the episode divider?

1&2. Bargaining Part 1 & 2 (in german 1&2. Die Auferstehung Teil 1 & 2)
or
1. Bargaining Part 1 & 2    (in german 1. Die Auferstehung Teil 1 & 2)

by the way
the printing on the disc sepparates these two episodes in the following way:



So I would vote for the first option.

For the episode title, I'd go with any of:

1 & 2. Bargaining Part 1 & 2
1 & 2. Bargaining: Part 1 & 2
1&2. Bargaining Part 1 & 2
1&2. Bargaining: Part 1 & 2
1/2. Bargaining Part 1 & 2
1/2. Bargaining: Part 1 & 2
1-2. Bargaining Part 1 & 2
1-2. Bargaining: Part 1 & 2
1. & 2.  Bargaining Part 1 & 2

Whatever your preference is or even some combo I didn't think of. It's not really covered by the rules so you have some free range to do what you want. While there is no colon in the menu, it fits the title/subtitle rule in my opinion. I'd use both 1 & 2 just to keep the numbering consistent. Wouldn't want to jump from 1 to 3 would we?

Very unusual setup though, especially if they really removed the opening credits from the 2nd  and the end-credits from the 1st part.


Not really, I've seen it quite a number of times. For example with the Smallville seaon 9 double-episode Absolute Justice which was conceived as two episodes but then made into one.

So the beginning of Buffy Season 6 was tricky?
Here is the ending.
Also a double episode, but this time it is splitted into two single episodes.

The first episode (Two To Go) has its own credits, but it has also has some credits of the second episode (Grave).

For example the credits of the director, editor and writer for Grave are also in the credits of the episode Two To Go.

What should I do with these credits?
Ignore them?
