Outlanderepisode 5 ended on Web Series Archivesthe cruelest cliffhanger imaginable, with Claire and Jamie finallylaying eyes on each other again after 20 years apart -- before Jamie faints and the episode cuts to black.

Even more cruel? We have to wait until Oct. 22 to see what happens next (although we've got a pretty good idea 😏), since Starz will be replaying the first five episodes from 5 p.m. on Oct. 15, just to prolong our agony a little further.

Still, it's not all bad -- to tide us over for two weeks, the network has released a stunning new preview image of Claire and Jamie's reunion (or at least the -- ahem --aftermath) and a steamy teaser trailer for episode 6, titled "A. Malcolm."

Even better, Starz has confirmed that "A. Malcolm" will be an extended episode -- or "sextended sexisode" as we've taken to calling it around the office -- that clocks in at 74 minutes, to allow Claire and Jamie (and us) to fully appreciate their reunion.

Check out the teaser below, and start mentally preparing yourself for Oct. 22, or Jamie might not be the only one who passes out.

Outlanderairs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Starz.
