I followed the above instructions from dbirch and BigWheel. First I set the scanner to Plex TV Series and agent to Plex Series, and episode ordering to TheTVDB. Second I performed the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) by removing the Specials and Season07 folders after copying them to a drive that is outside of Plex’s view. Then copied them back after doing the steps in [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).

All looks fine now. I have only one Specials folder and one Season07 folder with their proper contents and episodes properly labeled! Thanks guys for your guidance.
