Having completed all the missions, I find myself unmotivated to play while we're not in an episode. Just can't force myself to go scan/grind anymore. What are you guys up to?

You guys tell me I shouldn't even be working to upgrade while not in episode because the cards aren't worth as much when you use them outside an episode. Are we sure that was true to start with and that it's still true? Was this ever validated? I've heard conflicting information. But anyway that's another reason not to play outside the episode.

Speaking of hearsay, do we have a definitive answer on the behavior of medals inside and outside of an episode? If I get episode medals during an episode, I know I have at least a very small chance to get some rare episode cards if I cash them in. But once those medals convert to normal medals outside of the episode, am I right to assume that cashing them in will no longer give me any chance at those special episode cards? And then once we get back into a new episode, the converted-to-normal medals still will not give me any chance at getting rare episode cards from the new episode? Easier said, do episode medals only ever have their advantage during the episode in which you earned them?

Seems like another reason to only operate during episodes if so. Also if so, it seems like you'd want to go ahead and cash them all in before the episode ends in order to make the best use of them. Am I right here?
