How to manually add a podcast file to iTunes and merge w/ pre-existing podcast feed?

Hi all, I searched around for an answer here, but had no luck...

So, here's the deal. I subscribe to a certain podcast that only puts one episode at a time in its feed, and I recently missed an episode because of being on vacation (iTunes was never opened during the window of time that that particular episode was "live"). Well, I managed to secure a copy of the mp3 file from a friend who also listens to the same podcast and managed to get that one.

That's all well and good, except that when I added the file to iTunes, it showed up in my Podcast list as it's own podcast, right underneath the "official" entry that is the actual feed subscription. So now I have two entries for the same podcast, one that is the regular entry, but missing that one episode, and one that has only that one episode, and also has a big obnoxious "Subscribe" button on it.

This happens to be a podcast that I keep all episodes of, so I want to keep these in my library. But me being the organizational nitpicker that I am, I'd like to just plop this one episode into the regular entry of the podcast, the one that will continue to download episodes, and just have a regular, complete set of podcasts, instead of two incomplete sets.

I tried poking around in my iTunes Library.xml file, but I couldn't find anything that links a given file to a podcast entry.

Is this possible? How do I go about this?

Thanks...
