recapping
Going over highlights
Recapping is summarizing what has already been said or established, bringing listeners up to speed: Let me start by recapping last week's episode.
The word comes from recapitulate but functions as a casual shortening.
Recapping also means putting a new cap on something—a tire, a tooth, a pen—though the summarizing sense dominates.
