Dope is wrong to point to incident (7)
I believe the answer is:
episode
'to incident' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dope is wrong to point' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'to point' becomes 'E' (compass point).
'dope'+'is'='dopeis'
'dopeis' with letters rearranged gives 'episod'.
'episod'+'e'='EPISODE'
(Other definitions for episode that I've seen before include "Chapter or event" , "from longer work" , "Event or series of events in a story" , "Instalment of a TV series" , "Part of a broadcast serial, say" .)
