Case and point (my current problem): Brooklyn Nine Nine S08E10. This is the second part of a 2 part (series) finale. On the TheTVDB it is listed correctly as S08E10. In my files it is named correctly with S08E10. In the Plex Server interface it is listed as “Episode 10” but no metadata is being found for it.

Check the Episode Ordering settings for the TV Show library and the show itself.

If using The Movie Database, change it to TheTVDB, then refresh the metadata for the show.

See this post for details on checking the Episode Order for a library or show:
