Spoiler-Safe Guide
medium confidencesource-verifiedFull 126-episode title list confirmed from Wikipedia season articles fetched this session (S1: 20 eps, S2: 22 eps, S3: 23 eps, S4: 22 eps, S5: 19 eps, S6: 20 eps). Events Index covers 31 major beats across all six seasons. Every severity-3 (series-defining) event was sourced from at least one Wikipedia episode article fetched this session plus at least one independent named contemporary source. Four corrections were applied from this verification pass: causal direction fix on S4E15 (Lex vs. Otis), Kelly Olsen debut corrected from S4E22 to S4E15, Nyxly's return mechanism clarified in S6E8, and Brainy/Nia debut tags upgraded from ~ to confirmed. Confidence downgraded from high to medium because two ★★★ events (S1E20 Better Angels and S2E8 Medusa) have Wikipedia season-level confirmation plus one named recap each rather than two fully independent episode-article fetches, and S1E9 Blood Bonds' Wikipedia episode article returned a 404 (relied on two named recaps instead).
