If it's misleading enough, it could fall under Cowboy Be Bop At His Computer. Otherwise, I don't know.

I think that's a variant of Never Trust a Trailer.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Is there a trope when a major plot episode of a TV show is tagged along with a short, concise, almost misleading description? The closest example I can think of off-hand is S 7 E 6 of Steven Universe, where major plot episode “A Single Pale Rose” is accompanied with the description, “Steven helps Pearl find her phone.” Not necessarily restricted to TV shows, just any sort of episodic series. Like ep.69 of the Balance arc of the podcast “The Adventure Zone” is accompanied with the description, “Our heroes reach their journeys end.”
