Contributor (still) adding duplicate episodes
Sorry to keep going on about this, but...
Someone is still adding duplicate episodes to this series, with the incorrect episode number and without bothering to submit any cast details.
This page was created by myself last week - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt25605722
This page was created by someone else within the last 12 hours - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26007108
It's very frustrating having to submit merges every week, especially when they normally take a few days to take effect. I'd be very happy for someone to submit each episode if they were going to do a proper job, but they literally submit an empty episode with absolutely zero data attached, so it's not even as if they're adding anything to what I've already done.

At least one contributor (probably many more) uses a bot to automatically submit episodes to hundreds of podcasts.
That may be what's happening here.
Instead of the season and episode numbers you're submitting, the bot is probably submitting the numbers that appear on the podcast feed. (See below.)
I've had this trouble, too, on podcasts that have bot-created episodes. I've resigned myself to wait until the episode appears, and then make whatever corrections are necessary to the title and episode number.
On the plus side, these episode pages usually appear quickly after the episodes themselves are dropped.
Maybe when a staffer replies to this thread, she can tell you whether or not these duplicate episodes are submitted by a bot.
