It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points". So the most relevant guidance is then " Subsequent paragraph(s) should summarize the major points of the rest of the article", and WP:LEAD agrees: " The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic.

While I can appreciate that some fans will be unhappy to have the episode spoiled for them, it should be common knowledge by now that you should stay away from Wikipedia articles, critical reviews, Black Mirror-specific fora etc. The lead section of an article should summarise the main facts of the subject, and the plot (including plot twists and endings) is a key part of the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it would be improper for us to remove, alter or censor any relevant details from our pages.
