Hey, quick question: Did anyone else watch this episode ofOutlanderand feel like they time-traveled?
It feels like 200 years ago.
(Honestly, can you believe the season began with Claire in prison for Malva Christies murder?!)
It was a joyful, hopeful note to go out on.
Even in Jamies opening voice-over, he speaks of a storm of his own making looming on the horizon.
We cannot have one hour thats simply basking in happiness it is theOutlanderway.
This go-round, hes staying for however long Ian Sr. has left, he says.
The vibes coming off dear old da couldnt be more opposite, though.
Ians not the only Scot around trying to assuage his feelings of guilt now that hes back in town.
I do want to scream at Laoghaire that harboring decades of anger isnt good for your complexion.
Thankfully, Joan, Laoghaires younger daughter, shows up to put all this drama to bed.
Dont sleep on the youths who want to be nuns, okay?
They might save us all.
Jamie can fix all of this by amending the agreement and so he does!
I will not miss you, but I will miss the way you pronounce the wordwhore.
Ever heard of the French Revolution, bro?
I mean, Michael hasnt because it doesnt happen until 1789, but Claire has.
What does one say when a family member informs you they are from the future?
The whole future part actually goes over pretty smoothly.
Its a heartbreaking conversation.
Maybe you have no soul, Jenny spits at her before running off in tears.
Obviously, this is the grief talking.
She doesnt know how shell survive without Ian.
Jamie has to remind her that shes the strong one in the family.
He needs to go find Rachel, tell her he loves her, and marry that girl.
She could just hand over Rollo and be on her way!
Risky all around but Young Ian decides to go for it.
And how does he wind up hitching a ride back to America?
Well, hes going with Auntie Claire.
Grow up, my man!
And whileOutlandercan easily devastate you, it can also really make you laugh.
Dont worry, I havent forgotten about our other two time-hoppers, Roger and Buck.
How does Roger realize this?
When he knocks on the door at Lallybroch, he comes face-to-face with Brian Fraser, Jamies father.
and learns that Jamie is off at university in Paris.
When Roger knocks on that herbalists door, who should answer but none other thanGeillis Duncan.
SometimesOutlandercan be down right hysterical.
