Mixed episode data

I have an episode numbering oddity that I'm not sure how best to resolve.

The show "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" had over 200 episodes. The episodes were never named, so regular numbering is fine. The Episode entries were already created in IMDb long before me (user unknown), but I have been editing each numbered Episode page with guest and other details, including adding the Release Date. In the show, I am up to the beginning of June-2003, which is about 48 Episodes. 

SO FAR: I have gone in to each episode, Edit Page on each existing numbered Episode, then add the Release Date among other fields: Here are all the 2003 episodes: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0357399/episodes/?year=2003&ref_=ttep ... 

But you'll see at the bottom, there are eight Episodes with a different Episode name or number style: 

  • Episode dated 4 June 2003 | Wed, Jun 4, 2003
  • Episode dated 27 June 2003 | Fri, Jun 27, 2003 
  • Episode dated 22 July 2003 | Tue, Jul 22, 2003
  • Episode dated 10 September 2003 | Wed, Sep 10, 2003
  • Episode dated 25 September 2003 | Thu, Sep 25, 2003
  • Episode dated 29 October 2003 | Wed, Oct 29, 2003
  • Episode dated 18 November 2003 | Tue, Nov 18, 2003
  • Episode dated 19 November 2003 | Wed, Nov 19, 2003

Long story short, what do I do here?

When I go to update Episode details for June 4, 2003 which is Episode #1.51, do I edit this page: 

Episode #1.51

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13645378/?ref_=ttep_ep_51 ... 

Or

Episode dated 4 June 2003

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3710586/?ref_=ttep_ep "Episode dated 4 June 2003 | Wed, June 4, 2003 

I assume I'll have to re-name or delete some Episode pages? This is beyond me. Again, I came into this series as a new user, and just edited existing Episodes that had already been created. Thank you.

You could probably merge them by adding the episode number to the page which only has the release date.

Ok, so you don't literally mean a Merge Episode function, right? I'll just edit the Episode name on this one: 

Episode dated 4 June 2003

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3710586/?ref_=ttep_ep "Episode dated 4 June 2003 | Wed, June 4, 2003 

So if I make that Ep. 51.

I'll still have the other entry called: Episode #1.51, so I guess I'll change that into another Episode. Or delete it entirely, if I don't need it. I just didn't even realize you could edit those Episode name-numbers. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks.
