I don't know how to quit a special episode, I'm still looking for
the same answer. My game was glitching and when I tried to enter
the Christmas episode 2012 it froze. So I quit and got back on. I
was on the episode, but the elf was nowhere to be found. I have
used up 100 AP points trying to get somewhere, but alas, it just
wasn't meant to be. I am now seeking out how to quit it.
