Because Warners is working on several options to keep the show
on the air in the absence of PTEN, and a crowded syndication market,
they've asked for, and received, a 30 day extension on the drop dead
day from the cast. So now they have until July 15th to make it work.

If there were not hope, WB wouldn't have asked for the
extension.

No, it isn't really a problem...the worst that could happen is
that the show might have to go on in January rather than November, but
that's only a small gap. The stations haven't locked down their
January schedules yet, and there's always fallout from what goes out in
November, so there are still many possibilities.

No, the final four of season 4 are committed to airdates in
October, that's inviolable, whichever happens to be the last one, 422
or 501.

Because TV defines a year as being from November to November, so
you jump across a year in the process.
