Can someone do anything for the episode numbering of the show?

Episodes 4 and 5 are actually one episode - but they are split in TMDB.

I was reading about this on TMDB earlier today. It doesn’t really make sense to me either, but this is the thread.

Yeah, TMDB has a rule for animated content that, if the episodes have 2 distinct segments, they are listed as 2 episodes. They created that rule because of old cartoon shows that usually combine their segments differently when they are broadcasted again or in other countries. That’s why that is happening.

TMDB decided to open an exception to their rules in this case and now they list them as only one episode. I’ve merged episodes 4 and 5 here and moved the rest to their correct positions. The data is correct now.
