Contradictions

Existing: Episode numbering progression shows S1-E1 (2019-11-30) through S2 E21 (2020-12-18), suggesting Season 1 ran through late 2020 and Season 2 began in December 2020vsConflicting: Mention 14 references 'Episode 29' dated 2022-04-30 as 'returning for 2022 season after seven-month hiatus (since September 2021)', but also mentions S2 E21 from 2020-12-18, creating confusion about season structure
