Everybody, stop panicking and making Beyoncé jokes. We'll get through this, together. Just kidding, every man for himself -- did Frank Underwood teach you nothing?

Netflix accidentally leaked the third season of House of Cards Wednesday afternoon, two weeks ahead of its premiere date. And then, just as subtly as it appeared, it disappeared, leaving binge-watchers (and those clearly procrastinating at work) crestfallen.

This is Washington. There's always a leak. All 13 episodes will launch February 27.— House of Cards (@HouseofCards) February 11, 2015

Leave it to the drama queens of Twitter to turn a technical glitch into conspiracies as lasting as Watergate.

But don't worry HoC fans, you can fill the next two weeks of your time reading the sure-to-come think-pieces on how networks are using social media for free publicity stunts. And Beyoncé, because there are are always think-pieces about Beyoncé.
