Perform the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) after correcting the file names and the folder structure.  
Yes, you need a Season folder even if this show only has one season.

Ensure that the Plex series library has been pointed to `L:\TV Shows` and nowhere else.

I see there is a single episode in there that is not inside a folder. Don’t do that.  
The folder structure is very important for recognizing your files.
