Over the weekend, Starz made their presentation at the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press Tour where they not only presented a new trailer for the last half of debut season of the new series Outlander, based on the Diana Gabaldon novel, but also new photos from the back 8 episodes.

Now, it seems the episode titles for the back half of Outlander, Season 1 have been announced:

Episode 9 – The Reckoning
Episode 10 – By the Pricking Of My Thumbs
Episode 11 – The Devil’s Mark
Episode 12 – Lallybroch
Episode 13 – The Watch
Episode 14 – The Search
Episode 15 – Wentworth Prison
Episode 16 – To Ransom a Man’s Soul

The titles alone should give well-versed fans a hint at what the episodes will focus on. Now we just have to wait for Saturday, April 4 to arrive when Outlander will return from its long hiatus.

Georgie’s anxiety level soars when an extravagant wedding ceremony is arranged at a romantic island resort. Preferring things low-key and simple, Georgie feels she’s lost control of her own wedding, as well as her life. Though Phillip qualifies as the “perfect” fiancé, Georgie feels a romantic spark is missing in their relationship. Tensions rise even further when Phillip’s sophisticated mother, Felice (veteran actress Jaclyn Smith), blatantly frowns upon Georgie’s working class origins. On the picturesque island, Georgie keeps finding herself in chance encounters with Luke Griggs (Andrew W. Walker from When Calls the Heart), a scruffily handsome ex-architect, who walked away from a high-end architectural firm to enjoy a simple, no-frills life.

TV TRAILERS

Unreal

Outlander

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Actor Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars and Divergent) will join Chloe Grace Moretz (If I Stay) in the teen thriller movie November Criminals that follows two teenagers who venture into the seedy underbelly of Washington D.C. to investigate a friend’s murder while falling in love for the first time. (Deadline and Dark Horizons)

Q&A SECTION (with Natalie Abrams at Entertainment Weekly)

Question: Why is Jarvis so loyal to Stark on Agent Carter? —Jason

Natalie: You will soon find out! “Howard did something for him that had an enormous [impact] in both his life and his wife’s life,” James D’Arcy tells me. “As a result of that, I think Jarvis feels extremely loyal towards somebody of, let’s face it, questionable morality.” Any guesses?

Question: Anything on Gotham‘s newest addition, Dr. Leslie Thompkins? — Matt

Natalie: I wouldn’t expect her to stay at Arkham forever. When talking about Leslie teaming up with Jim to help Gotham, Morena Baccarin told my colleague Samantha Highfill that Dr. Thompkins will be putting another skill set to use soon. “I do end up taking a job elsewhere,” she said. “I won’t tell you where, but it is a little bit different from just being a physician.”

Question: How will Beckett feel about Castle becoming a private detective when Castle returns? — Charlene

Natalie: It’ll be quite a shock for Beckett to learn the truth that Castle is a P.I., but it won’t be long before the two are working together again. One could even say it adds a new spark to their relationship having to work in secret. However, Gates won’t be as lenient with the rules, forcing Castle to take unconventional methods to get the job done—methods that end in injury.

Question: Anything on Forever? — Etienne

Natalie: Though Henry fears death, he’ll find himself in a compromising position in an upcoming episode. “We will see him take his own life at some point to get out of a bind,” executive producer Matt Miller says, teasing that it will be a real struggle for him.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!!
