So, I’ve been rewatching Fringe lately and I came across Season 2, Episode 11 which was originally skipped from the braodcast in season 1 and then aired in season 2. The problem with this episode (for those unfamiliar) is that a character who features heavily in this episode had died earlier in the season.

In my library the episode is titled correctly (as in, the episode that should be in Season 02) “Johari Window” but when I play I see “Unearthed” the out of order episode meaning everything afterwards will likely be misnamed.

Showing "Johari Window" as S02 E11 in the library but playback shows "Unearthed"

I don’t want to stab around in the dark to sort this. I’m not the only person watching Fringe right now and I’d like to avoid too many changes to get it either named correctly, or moved “if that’s possible” to the correct position.

Many shows have a different aired vs DVD order. Plex supports ordering as listed at The Movie Database or TheTVDB.

TheTVDB has a different aired vs DVD order for Fringe.

DVD: Unearthed = s01e21
Aired: Unearthed = s02e11

You can pick the one you want.

Gracias! I’ve just done that. It’s refreshing metadata right now but is already showing the episodes correctly.
