For the question "Je suis resté cinq jours à Mykonos, mais ________ à Paris", I was marked incorrect for answering "je ne suis que resté trois jours". The accepted answer was "je ne suis resté que trois jours". How does placing "que" before or after "resté" change the emphasis or meaning of this statement? "But I stayed only three days in Paris" vs "But I only stayed three days in Paris". I cannot see the distinction that makes one form wrong and the other right.
I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns

Bonjour! Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en." I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode." I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight. Merci pour votre aide !
