In theory, you could use something like this:
<xsl:for-each select="Season">
   <xsl:for-each select="Episode">
     <xsl:number count="Episode" level="any"/>
     <xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
     <br/>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

But why would you? It seems you're outputting HTML and that language offers you semantics to create ordered lists. The user agent will render them as a numbered lists.

<ol>
	<xsl:for-each select="Season">
		<xsl:for-each select="Episode">
			<li><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></li>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:for-each>
</ol>
