The button to open the episode to watch is not longer here on a web browser from desktop.
Previously you would click the icon on the homepage for the episode of a show you wanted to watch and it would open the page which had a play button to launch the episode. Now it opens the show’s main page plus a flyout for the episode. The flyout doesn’t have anywhere to click to watch the episode, and the main show’s page only opens to watch from the very beginning. What happened to specific episode where to watch buttons?

I have an update for this that should be merged in the near future.
main ← fix/episode_drawer_watchnow
opened 11:42PM - 17 Jul 26 UTC
# Summary
Restores the **Where to Watch** section in the v3 episode drawer. Whe… n episode pages became drawers, the streaming list was dropped; this brings it back, positioned like the mobile show/movie layout — directly under the episode overview, above the tabs. Closes #2897.
# Changes
- Add a `useEpisodeStreamOn` hook to load per-episode streaming data (mirrors the existing episode-page loader).
- Render `WhereToWatchList` in `EpisodeDrawerHost`, gated on the loaded episode, using the `inline` list variant so the empty state fits the narrow drawer instead of overflowing on desktop.
- Open "view all" as a locally-mounted, episode-scoped `WhereToWatchDrawerHost` (elevated/stacked) instead of the `view=` URL param — matching how the drawer already handles ratings/social/history, so it stays episode-scoped and doesn't replace the drawer.
- Thread an optional `onDrilldown` callback through `SectionList` → `ListHeader` → `ListTitle` (additive; the drilldown renders a button that fires the callback). Reuses the `onDrilldown` pattern `RatingList` already uses in this drawer.
- Add an `elevated` prop to `WhereToWatchDrawerHost` so it can stack on top of the episode drawer.
- Align the section's title and cards with the drawer's tab content (the People title) and tighten the gap to the overview.
# Notes
Writers and plays (also called out in the issue) are already present — plays in the Info tab stat row, writers under the People section's crew toggle — so this focuses on the genuinely missing Where to Watch section.
