episode recap
Previously on refresher
An episode recap is a summary of events from a previous installment of a television series, typically appearing at the beginning of a new episode to refresh viewers' memories.
The phrase also describes standalone content—articles, videos, or podcasts—that review and discuss what happened: I missed last week's episode but caught the recap online.
Recaps help audiences follow serialized narratives with complex plots.
