Okay, I just checked HBO On Demand and there is indeed a listing for
the second episode. This is really odd. I've never seen a network
post something on demand prior to the official first-run episode.
They also have a couple things that aren't even part of the regular
show. One is a 1-minute episode featuring an "adolescent Omar," and
there's another one with a young Proposition Joe. I might have to
check these out.
