There have never been two branches with different content. There's only ever been branches with more or less content - thus, if the player follows the path of most content, they'll have seen all the plot.Those scenes you mentioned are alternate branches. Because each episode is independent of each other, the story has to loop back to the main plot by the end. Most loop back immediately.
Since no variables are saved from episode to episode, the dev assumes the players actions and surprisingly, he's assuming the player has seen all the branches, and picked up the hints in each one, so he mentions details that some (most) players never saw, making it confusing to follow.
The game does save variables from episode to episode, but so far those variables haven't been used. For example, the game saves whether or not you choke Alex in ep. 3.
