Where it was available
At the time, viewers could watch the episode on HBO and HBO Max, as reported in the episode-specific coverage. HBO’s official May 4, 2025 preview used the Max name and promoted a new episode streaming there. The service’s branding differed across contemporaneous sources: HBO Max in the episode coverage and Max in HBO’s preview.
Why this answer is U.S.-specific
The 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT times are reported for the U.S. release. The cited schedule information does not establish a complete release time or platform schedule for other countries, so viewers elsewhere should check their local authorized service listings.
