What episodes do you mean?

They just say they are cousins, but we have no way to know if they are telling the truth or not from the episode. The truth is we know nothing about Uranus and Neptune's families from the anime and manga so they could be cousins, and there would be no canon contradiction like people seem to think.
I don't see why if U&N were cousins they would have had to know each other. I have a lot of family members that I can't recall ever meeting.
It certainly looked like U&N knew each other before being introduced to me in episode 106.

Season 5 has some continuity issues so it's best to ignore it when talking about season 1 through 4.
