Every episode of ‘Shark Tank’ makes you believe in the potential to live your dreams. Last week, we saw Quevos, Brumachen, Aura Bora and SwipenSnap grabbing some hefty deals but this week, there is no new episode.

Wondering why? Well, no reason has been specified but a press release reveals that an old episode — which was technically the sixth in line for Season 12 — will air on Friday, January 29, 2020. 

And in case you are can't stop thinking about what products will be featured in the new episode — which will be Season 12 Episode 12, here's a list:

Yono Clip: This robotic device can be attached to anything to rid it of germs.
NightCap: A cover for cups to prevent drink spiking.
Rule Breaker: Snack bars made with a small amount of sugar, but not as the main ingredient, with chickpeas replacing sugar as the main ingredients.
MountainFlow Eco-Wax: Eco-friendly ski wax.

What's in place of the new episode?

There may not be a new episode, but you can still catch fun moments from a rebroadcast that first aired on November 20, 2020. In that episode, the products featured are Pan's Mushroom Jerky, K9 Mask, Moment and Prime 6 Charcoal

The summary reads, “Can an entrepreneur from Portland, Oregon, successfully sell the Sharks on his vegan version of a classic grab-and-go snack? Two entrepreneurs from Austin, Texas, work to convince the Sharks that their pandemic-inspired masks designed for a beloved family member are worth an investment. A pair of entrepreneurs from New York City try and own their moment in the Tank as they ask the Sharks to take a sip of their stress-reducing beverage, while a husband and wife from New York City share their product designed to make grilling an eco-friendly experience.” 

The Sharks in this episode are Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John and recurring Shark Blake Mycoskie.
