Episodes are simply different changing scenes within a novel or other work, and Holden has a number of such adventures throughout The Catcher in the Rye.
An episode is a part of a dramatic work... a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of a book.
So, the changing events within the novel can be considered episodes. Some of them include Holden's visit to his favorite teacher to say goodbye when he leaves the prep school; Holden's time spent in the dorms with his roommate and dorm mates; and Holden's experiences in New York City, including his run-in with the prostitute and his drinking in the bar. Others include his visit to see his sister while his parents are away; his abrupt withdrawal from his teacher's house after he suspects possible sexual misconduct; and his date in the city the next day.
