Is S08E07 a special?

So I'm not 100% if I should discuss this here or not, but I'm trying to import season 8 of Robot Chicken into my Plex Media Server, which is using the theTVDB plugin for metadata, however it is treating episode 7 (The Robot Chicken Christmas Special: X-MAS UNITED) like it doesn't exist, but viewing the season on the website shows it clearly listed as an episode in the season. This differs however from all of the other x-mas episodes which are under Specials instead.
It seems like there's some weird inconsistency between the site and the Plex plugin, but I can't figure out how or where; episode 7 doesn't seem to have been changed, so it's not like the Plex plugin is somehow pulling down old data as far as I can see.
So my question is twofold; should episode 7 be under specials, and anyone know why I might be seeing this odd behaviour?

(An old question, I know, but for the record...)
“Was it a Christmas Special episode?”, yes. But, “should it be listed in the Specials instead of Season 8”, probably not.
Robot Chicken does a lot of holiday "specials", and whether or not they're considered part of the regular season depends on whether the show is airing at the time.
Most of the ones that fall during a scheduled season are regular episodes that just happen to air in late December. (Examples: S03E14, S05E01, S06E13, and yes, S08E07.) The ones that got special airings outside of the regular season are listed under Specials.
