In my mind, you are describing above the final design of the episode service, 
this is what it should be in the end. However, we should be able to take small 
steps, especially given that this work is sponsored and should, if possible, 
make it into 1.3.

Adding a separate episode ui is the proposed first step, merging it with 
workflow the logical second one.
