Well different TV shows do this for different reasons depending on what type of show and so on.
Most of the time they do this to remind viewers of what happened in the previous episode in case you've forgotten or if the last episode was quite a long time ago. Usually it will show the main points like someone dying or a key event in the plot line as to draw you in once again. It is also done to give a brief description of the last episode to people who didn't see the previous episode so that they have some idea of what is going on in the episode they are watching. Those are the main few reasons why recaps are shown but there are other reasons.
For instance, some shows use recaps to give a clue of the upcoming episode by showing you clips from an episode shown long before. Other shows do just because they feel that people need it or just for the hell of it, I guess we'll never know. :)
