Your comments made me think about when it became in vogue for all media outlets to provide television episode summaries. I remember EW including this on their website, which made sense because it was related to their primary mission. Now, every media outlet has people who summarize every episode of buzzy television shows. It must generates clicks. My guess is that people just can't handle not understanding what everything in an episode signifies. They ask the internet to explain everything from the significance of a particular song to a tricky plot point.
