That said, that doesn't seem to be what happened in this case anyway -
it looks to me like the citation was to the episode itself, with a
convenience link to the article, and that someone subsequently misread
that citation as a citation to the article and added a "Retrieved on"
tag.

Indeed, that was the source of my confusion - the "retrieved on" tag.
Without it, I probably would have figured out they meant the actual episode
of the TV show. Thanks for clearing up what I was seeing.
As for the other issue, wouldn't a wikilink be better than a cite if another
article provides a great deal more information on a topic? It seems cleaner
to me.
