If I may play devil's advocate for a moment...

In any promotional material the goal is to present the target audience with something tempting that will make them want the product being promoted. Images of Daybreaker would certainly entice viewers to watch this episode.

Furthermore, knowing that Treehouse TV has already aired the episode and now it's plastered all over the internet, Discovery Family may very well have simply decided that it really didn't matter at this point.

(...taking off the red horns now...)

I totally understand frustration with this sort of thing. I'm especially disappointed when I go to the theater, pay full-price to view a feature film and at the end realize that I have already seen all the most exciting or funniest moments of the film repeatedly in the 60 second promo that has been running on TV 6 times an hour for two months prior. It's this sort of thing that in a way makes me glad that we still haven't seen the epic MLP movie trailer that many have been yearning for.

I understand that promos need to be enticing, but I also agree that they should not contain anything that would be a major spoiler. If all the key moments of the episode have been spliced together in the advert, then what's the point of watching the episode when it airs?
