Start from the name as well as the number
Season and episode numbers are convenient references, but packaging can differ. A two-part finale may appear as two entries in an original air-order guide and as one longer video elsewhere. Compare the names on either side before concluding that an episode has disappeared.
What the CouchTuner lists include
Our detailed guides use regular episodes in original airing order. Specials are not included in those numbered lists. This can explain why a destination offers an extra recap, holiday installment or behind-the-scenes program that you do not see between the regular entries here.
Avoid a spoiler while locating your place
Read titles and dates first. If those do not settle it, open the synopsis for the last installment you know you watched. Work forward from that point. Reading a later finale description is rarely the best way to identify an earlier episode.
When a service has a different cut
Keep the exact show version, season, episode name and displayed runtime together. Differences between an original release and another edit can affect the apparent match. Follow the service’s own episode list for playback, using the CouchTuner guide to understand the original sequence.
