They don't count 4x08 and 5x08 as different episodes, just longer. So...

22 + 22 + 22 + 22 = 88

Ep. 5x10 "Broken Heart" has been said NOT to be the winter finale, so ep. 5x11 will be the midseason finale, and it will air on December 13th, which is usually the week the show ends.

88 + 11 = 99

This is why the spring premiere will be the 100th episode! They confused us when they said we'd get a 12 eps arc and a 10 eps arc. Makes sense. So they not went from 10 episodes/hours to 11 episodes/12 hours. This is not an extra hour but TWO extra hours. O.o
