I couldn't have done anything like this, as I didn't actually know the episode would air at all on Sunday. I try very hard to miss the "next episode" stuff at the end, as well as any previews that might spoil things.
Only the DVR itself knew the episode would exist, until I found it in the list. Most days I go through the scheduled recordings ahead of time, but there's nothing scheduled for Sunday normally.
Ah well. What was the next thing I was going to complain about? I've forgotten....
