Following Saturday's shooting at Trump's rally, those at Prime Video clearly wanted to avoid being associated with violence ... as they chose to retitle the episode to simply say "Season 4 Finale."

The series also issued a warning before the episode, in which they emphasized the fictional political violence -- written, filmed and edited long before last weekend -- was "completely coincidental and unintentional."
