episode

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'poised to explode with energy' is the wordplay.
'to explode with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'poised' anagrammed with 'e' makes 'EPISODE'.

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for episode that I've seen before include "Chapter or event" , "Instalment of broadcast serial" , "Incident forming part of a sequence" , "Incident or one part of a story" , "Distinctive incident" .)
