Yes, strain/discord built in to explore/demonstrate how each has changed after 20 years apart in vastly different centuries. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/tCilj2EYio

@OutlanderWriter #OutlanderALN #cremedementhe #StartingAgain what was the premise of spending the amount of time on Claire as a surgeon?
— Helenb (@hajb0212) October 31, 2017
C's career is a huge part of her life, seeing her in action helps underscore her jarring transition back to 18th century life. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/OhrVcvsN5z

Claire wanting her own establishment isn't mentioned in Voyager.U think she thought about this before going back to the 1700s? #OutlanderALN
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 31, 2017
We think she probably did consider whether there was a way to continue as a healer. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/kfUhuV9qFB

How come this was cut?Was it cuz of time or to make the tension between Jame & Claire bigger in the face of 1st wife reveal ? #OutlanderALN pic.twitter.com/qzR3UF9AhA

We made the decision in editing to end on the cliffhanger of the fire and Jamie having another wife. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/p0fsqxQ0d0

We found the surgery interesting. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/IbJLg2L3DO

@OutlanderWriter #OutlanderALN Jamie's line "it was as if the sun returned and cast out the darkness" is a lovely reference to "The Wedding"
— Karen Schneider (@KarenAprilfool) October 31, 2017
Yes, a callback to "The Wedding." #OutlanderALN https://t.co/Tye50EXoBC

Yes. We have two researchers and a writers' assistant tracking all changes and continuity. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/4hjKIR4bpZ

No. They weren't in the print shop. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/t0ehX0qpSM

@OutlanderWriter Will Claire ever come to learn or understand just how much Jamie suffered at first during those 20 years? #OutlanderALN
— Alicia (@leesh1219) October 30, 2017
Yes. They have much to catch up on and it plays over several episodes. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/d9cR9kl8w3
— Outlander Writers (@OutlanderWriter) October 31, 2017
Do you think Jamie was more upset with the way Bree was raised or with the fact that he wasn't part of it? #OutlanderALN
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 31, 2017
We think he just really missed being a part of it. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/GGqr3YLfYB
— Outlander Writers (@OutlanderWriter) October 31, 2017
Was it your intention to create tension between Claire and Jamie…show that they both have some concerns and issues? #OutlanderALN
— MonicaRohleder (@MonicaRohleder) October 30, 2017
There would be a natural period of adjustment for any couple separated for 20 years! #OutlanderALN https://t.co/JngqG7VX95

@OutlanderWriter #OutlanderALN How do ye come up w/ the episode titles (book/s vs script)? Have ye ever debated an ep title?
— Victoria Fox (@vfox56) October 31, 2017
Writers usually name their own episodes. "Crème de Menthe" is one of our favorites. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/DRDshNZuKx

We make adjustment as we see fit to adapt for TV. Sometimes we stick closer to the book than others. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/GVQrWpSj0h

Yes. These presses burned. But don't count Bonnie out. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/lu1lVbpWcn

@OutlanderWriter where do you get the idea to have every intense scene between Claire and Jamie get intrupted by something? #OutlanderALN

@OutlanderWriter #OutlanderALN Any chance we can get 1 extended episode in S4 or possibly a full hour, all the time?
— Theresa⁷ (@mstreyes) October 30, 2017
If it was up to us, ALL of them would be longer. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/YOT6zSieUC

#OutlanderALN I've loved S3 up until this point, but 307 left me cold. C shrewish & bitchy, J a lying cad? C'mon, Outlander!

Are there any scenes from the ep that you loved that didn't make the cut? #OutlanderALN
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 31, 2017
Ironically, the ep was short so we went back & filmed the sc. of F/YI selling casks which had been deleted from an early draft #OutlanderALN https://t.co/uI50rQzEY2

@OutlanderWriter #OutlanderALN Where did Fergus hear about the "rumors" about his Milady taking lives?
