I'm not sure what the favor originally was, but it has to be Methos just because that would be too much fun. I imagine various people (like Mac, Joe, maybe Amanda) are all going, what sort of favor was it originally that you're now paying off? And Methos just shrugs. They're all thinking it's something massive and deadly and whatnot and then maybe at the end we discover that the original favor was to protect some of his own children when he had to leave, something equivalent to what he's doing now and not nearly as evil as they had all suspected.
