Hello everyone and welcome to the official Outlander podcast. I'm Tony Grafia, writer and executive producer and here with my colleague for five seasons now, Luke Skelhaus, writer and co-executive producer. And we're here today to talk about episode 603,

temperance.

Yes, directed by Justin Molotnikov

and written by our colleague, Chane of Fuel.
