plex is naming TV episodes incorrectly.

TheTVDB.com TMDB
  1. An open TV series database that can be modified by anybody, and accessed vi an XML API.
    Plex doesn't use IMDb for episode naming, it uses either TVDB or TMDB. In your case, it looks like it's using TMDB, since it splits the first episode while TVDB doesn't. If you're using the Plex TV Series agent, you can edit the series, click on the Advanced tab, and change 'Episode ordering' to 'TheTVDB (Aired)' (or 'TheTVDB (DVD)'): https://i.imgur.com/ldK8XY4.png. You can also change the library default by similarly changing 'Episode ordering' under Manage Library > Edit > Advanced.
