This weeksOutlanderinstallment is a bit of a mixed bag.
Plus, Im sure, some other surprises you knowOutlanderloves to throw our way before we go on hiatus.
Jamie and Claire are the not-at-all-secret sauce here, why is it so hard to remember this?
When hes navigating his relationships with John, Jamie, and even Claire, its complex and compelling.
When hes off on his own helping sex workers avoid murder charges, its much less so.
You know what I mostly think about during William scenes in which he is not with his parents?
Charles Vandervaarts perfect teeth.
Im sorry, but those chompers are beautiful!
And they are not the teeth of a British soldier in 1778, okay?
The dental situation at this time was not, how do you say, good.
Shes brought her little sister Fanny with her, and she needs Williams protection.
William isnt going to turn her over to the authorities, though.
Meanwhile in 1980, Williams sister Bree is still dealing with her Rob Cameron problem.
If they think about each other hard enough, will the stones bring them together?
More importantly, will Bree and Rogers storyline ever not feel shoehorned into this thing?
How about we talk about the storyline that does work in this episode?
Yes!Outlander, thankfully, doesnt draw out getting our favorite would-be throuple back in the same room.
(I guess his Bertram Armstrong cover story didnt work out so well.)
She actually seems pretty horrified when she sees the state John is in.
And Jamie still refuses to apologize for any of the violence, which is very annoying.
It does give Claire a chance to take a closer look at Johns eye.
The procedure works, and Claire gifts John a fancy new eye patch while he continues healing.
Jamie still does not apologize.
John is downright shocked to see Percy walk through his door.
He explains to Claire that Percy is his former step-brother and also a French spy.
The leadership of those colonies would like him to stop.
Richardson tells William it is of the utmost importance.
Little does William know that the very letter he is delivering is ordering those Hessians to take William captive.
By the end of the episode, we watch William walk right into that very trap.
But there is actually something Jamie can do for William, John reminds him.
Jamie can let John go as his prisoner.
And thats what Jamie does.
Go save our son, Jamie tells John as he sends him out the door.
I dont think its supposed to be super hot, but Im sorry, it is.
