Trying to figure out what's necessary for the thematic beats, as well as how the show structures its seasons: i.e. where to put significant episodes. And I don't want to have Cloke and Yamata show up too often, but I do want them to show up just often enough. Likewise, I don't want the mob arc to show up too often or too close together.
Okay, let's see: Yamata and/or Cloke show up in, for sure: X.01, X.14, X.15 (original versions), X.18, X.22, X.23, and X.0X (Semper Fidelis Ad Mortem).
The mob plot/Danny show up in: X.01, X.02, X.03, X.08, X.14, X.15, X.22, and X.23. (The mini-arc is not relevent; it's a serial murder case.)
X.04 through X.13 are all normal cases, excluding Stella's run-in with Danny. So I'll shoved X.12 back to X.6, put X.14 and X.15 into the X.11 and X.12 slot (exactly mid season!), and put the mini-arc into the X.14 and X.15 slots. Which means that Yamata and Cloke show up again three eps later, in X.18. That'll leave us three "Life Goes On" cases, which, knowing how the show works, are probably heavily character focused. I don't really have any idea what else is going on through this season, except for the mini-arc.

Sorry for brainstorming at you!
