I think the point ThatGameGrl was making is that as it is a continuing adventure, one overlapping into another, and that episodes are not necessarilly the ideal places to begin and end sections of it - Matt makes do, limited by time on the hop rather than planned plot cliff-hanger. Separating them into 'episodes and seasons' is perhaps less valid than 'chapter and threads.' The entirety being a 'saga.'

The solution I feel is to run both. Chapters end at natural story-pauses, often mid-episode. Threads would end as you see seasons ending, but again, that may be mid-episode. Episodes are what they are. Seasons? I can't see how we benefit if G&S aren't also labelling them.

Complicating it further, I'd suggest the shopping of 'shopping and shipping' is a moment between threads - probably a prologue - it's neither the end or a beginning. In book form it would probably have Vex explaining the events of the last to Gilmorel when it's suggested he does so, and give everyone an idea of what the characters are like by their interactions in the shop (for new readers).

The horn is then merely a means to get them to the slayers take more than ending the Underdark thread. It doesn't really add much more in itself.
