'Outlander' Season 2: Final Seven Episode Titles Released! What's In Store For Claire's Return To Scotland?
Put Paris from your mind; the final batch of Outlander episode titles is in.
The Starz series will drop Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) into glitz and glamour of Europe's cultural capital for the beginning of season 2, but, if recent titles are any indication, it won't be long before the Highlander and his bride are back on the windswept moors of Scotland.
Based on the events of Diana Gabaldon's Dragonfly in Amber, season 2 will close out in bloody fashion as our heroes struggle to turn the tide of the Jacobite Rising. Early episodes will focus on the political aspect of their mission, but the second half of the season will put boots on the ground.
Check out the titles for episodes 8 through 13:
Episode 8: "The Fox's Lair"
Episode 9: "Je Suis Prest"
Episode 10: "Prestonpans"
Episode 11: "Vengeance is Mine"
Episode 12: "The Hail Mary"
Episode 13: "Dragonfly in Amber" (finale)
Earlier episodes pulled their titles straight from the novel, but now fans will be left guessing what's next. It's interesting to note that canonically "The Fox's Lair" comes in the wake of "Prestonpans." Either Outlander is repurposing that particular chapter title for a different aspect of the story, or this is a prime example of the series' plans to shuffle the timeline.
"There are changes and differences; the second novel is more complex," executive producer Ron Moore teased, according to TV Goodness. "It has a lot more puzzle pieces, a lot more moving parts."
Considering how quickly Dragonfly in Amber jumps from the past to the future and back again, it's no surprise Moore would want to smooth the transitions for viewers.
Are you excited to dive back into the past? Outlander will return to Starz this Thursday at 10 p.m. ET. Click the video below to see a preview for season 2.
