Here's what I think: In the TD universe, TDAS and TDPI are seasons 5 and 6, separately. But, in the real world where us users live, the producers split the season in half for whatever reason making TDAS thirteen and TDPI thirteen as well as CN ordered one season of twenty-six episodes. To the network, it doesn't matter how they fill up these episodes so long as they are appropriate and give high ratings. Hopefully, the sixth season order will return to 26 episodes. Besides, as far as I'm concern they're not advertising PI as an all new season just the next part with fourteen new competitors.
