Honestly, I would say do the "in Season X Episode X X happened" format. It might be annoying to replace, but that's the general format I've seen. Sorry.

To avoid this problem in the future, you could either refer to episodes by title or not at all, as necessary.
What's the best way to handle season-episode references in examples?
Wakfu just started its second season, and inevitably examples are going to have to differentiate between the happenings in seasons 1 and 2. Currently, examples just refer to "episode x" because until today there was only one season that the episodes could have belonged to.
Replacing every instance of "episode x" with "episode x of season y" is a very long and redundant way to type it, and replacing them with the actual episode titles could cause confusion over title translations (the show is French). Some form of shorthand would be best, but there are a lot of ways to do that (syex? y-x?) and I haven't been able to find any examples of the preferred season-episode shorthand on this wiki.
