The First Episode Spoiler is a specific type of plot twist in which the first episode of a series contains a plot twist which comes as a surprise to viewers who have just started watching, but immediately goes on to become an important plot point or premise to the series. As such, it may be hard (and in many cases impossible) to describe the series without completely ruining the suspense during the first episode. This is most common in plot-driven series, although it can occasionally be found in the pilot episodes of premise-based series. For a literary example to qualify, the twist should take place within the first few chapters, or else it becomes a regular plot twist.

If a First Episode Spoiler is at the end of a book or series and is ruined by subsequent installations, then it becomes Late Arrival Spoiler. First Episode Spoilers are prone to being ruined by trailers or opening credits for the series. Some shows use a shorter, or completely absent opening in the first episode in order to avoid this. If there are Powers in the First Episode, this becomes exponentially more likely. Contrast with All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game". This is a spoilers trope, so consider yourself warned. Compare Late Arrival Spoiler and Seventh-Episode Twist. Examples of First Episode Spoiler include:
