An episode of a daily soap.

Daily or almost daily programme with addictive qualities, usually soap opera, can also be 'reality' television, and other programmes of that ilk.

(n.) an episode of a TV series that you can't miss without suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

An accidental metathesis of the word 'Episode', considered particularly apt when used in connection with high profile Soap Operas or Reality TV. Suggests the amalgamation of something both 'Epic', and either 'Medicinally efficacious' for those predisposed to such things; or the slang for 'an infection transmitted sexually' for those with an aversion to them.
