This gets me thinking about ebooks. I bet they call the publishers content providers, and would argue they have no responsibility if the publisher decided to remove a book. This makes me appreciate Mobileread. Long ago, I learned to download all books immediately upon purchase.
I don't do this with streaming content, and didn't think I needed to. But I was binge watching the series while I was knitting. Imagine my surprise when the finale said "Not available." I paid for the entire season! I have 2 more seasons to go in that series, but I don't really feel like binge watching when I have that huge hole.
Guess cutting the cord isn't really possible. I could've just recorded that series and I would have it as long as my ITB hard drive and my DVR survived.

Sorry this happened to you. It seems really crazy that only one episode was missing. Maybe you can find it elsewhere--YouTube?
I'm leery of streaming; this kind of thing is why I still have cable and record shows (or buy DVDs of shows and movies). I'm actually now in the process of dubbing shows from the DVR hard drive to disks, both to free up space and to make sure I don't lose everything if the DVR fails.
