This was HARD!!! DG’s book vs. creative writers and Ron D. Moore-hmmm. After 2 hours with book and timeline outline, I guess:
1. 3.1=(Let me call it “Ghostly Culloden & Boston Baby Blues”)=the battle, the aftermath, Lord Melton releases him, Claire struggles with her infant/toddler & her memories (and depression!) while Frank concentrates on being a “dad” to Brianna and his female students, secretaries and moving “up.”
2. All Debts Paid=The Dunbonnet/cave, Lallybroch second-class citizen Jamie, 30 pieces of silver, Ardsmuir Prison & Lord John, the treasure hunt, parole to Hellwater, a groom’s miserable life, Claire to medical school while Frank follows thru his promise to help raise Brianna thru school years.
3. Of Lost Things=Blackmailed by Lady Geneva Dunsany, birth of William, death of Earl of Ellesmere, Jamie loses contact with William with parole and leaves Hellwater but cannot be Laird upon return to Lallybroch, Lord John pines for Jamie, Jamie continues to pine for Claire and faces Jenny who forces him to remarry (yeek!) Laoghaire, Claire “loses” Frank-SHE’S FREE!
4. Freedom and Whiskey (1766)=Jamie leaves Laoghaire, moves to Edinborough, A. Malcolm/printing/smuggling whiskey…could be forced to await reunion to 5th episode with Claire’s return or her return could be here in Episode 4 and continued printing and smuggling whiskey/liquor with explanation of “the business”…REUNION SOONER THAN LATER please! S3 E4, I hope! Or E5-“REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!” to steal a verse from a great old song! The whore house, the fire…
That’s my best guess…can’t start soon enough!
All debts paid is Episode #3 not 2. So expand your episode 1 outline to fill 2 episodes. Notice the Numbering, it is 1 untitled, NO 2, then 3, 4 and 5 are titled. I remember them saying they shot out of sequence.
You have at it, Sandy. Even with missing an episode, there is A TON of good stuff to organize into the episodes, and “on a lark,” that’s my best try…esp. if the reunion isn’t til E5, or, perish the thought(!), E6…because E5 doesn’t sound like “AND NOW, HEEEEERE’S CLAIRE…WITH JAMIE!”
Just, end the drought and let’s get to it!!! The suspense is KILLING US!!!
I have no doubt whatsoever about the sequence of the episodes. First, will be the battle of Colloden, followed by Brianna’s birth. The second episode will show Claire going to Medical School and Jamie on the lamb. Bye Bye, Young Fergus. Third Episode will be about Jamie’s budding friendship with Major John Grey. That title “All Debts Paid,” refers to what happened in 2:9 “Je Su Prest.” The fourth episode will show what happened after Prison. What happened with Geneva and William. The fifth episode will show Bree’s graduation and Frank’s death. And maybe Claire making final preparations to go through the stones. They’ve already said the reunion will happen in Episode #6.
Can hardly wait !
of lost things=A. Malcolm, Printer

I can guess what #3 is about. Lord John Grey. Remember back in “Je Su Prest,” he owed Jamie a debt of honor.
By the way, the premiere episode is called “The Battle Joined.”
