Previously: Claire jumps off the Porpoise to somehow find Jamie and warn him about maybe getting hanged (again). The title card is a sea turtle, swimming happily in the water. Like sea turtles do. Claire is unconscious and draped over her floating barrel, drifting towards shore. The swell of a waves knocks her off the barrel, and she wakes up and starts swimming to the beach, where luckily, the bundle of the rest of her … Continue reading Outlander 3.11 Uncharted→
Previously: Claire gets impressed on a typhoid ridden British navy ship On board the Artemis, everyone waits patiently for Claire to come back, and Fergus has made a potpourri for Marsali. That’s…actually very sweet. Jamie and Fergus are like, inches from a heart to heart when they see the Porpoise making sail. Jamie tries to get the Artemis to follow. The captain won’t give chase- first the Artemis can’t go that fast, and Captain Baby … Continue reading Outlander 3.10 Heaven and Earth→
Previously: Young Ian got kidnapped, so things aren’t going great. The title card is the prow of a ship, the Artemis. The theme song now has a Caribbean feel and rhythm section. We’re not in Scotland anymore. Claire and Jamie have met up with Jamie’s cousin Jared (you know, the wine merchant?), and Jamie will be the supercargo on a trading ship. Jared knows of only one three masted Portuguese ship in the area, and … Continue reading Outlander 3.09: The Doldrums→
Previously: Claire came back and it’s all chaos, all the time. Oh, and Young Ian got laid. Well, mostly. The title card is a small girl and a Hogmanay table. Jamie, Claire and Young Ian ride to lallybroch. It’s an…. awkward homecoming. Jenny is PISSED, and stares at Claire with a whole BUNCH of emotions. Ian at least told her that Claire was back, so she’s had some time to process. “I know it must … Continue reading Outlander 3.08 First Wife→
Previously: Claire and Jamie did the do and then Claire was threatened with sexual assault. Again. I miss Murtagh. The title card is an old-timey hand pump fire engine and old-timey fire fighting equipement. Claire defends herself by picking up a knife, and then eventually knocks the intruder down so he cracks his skull on the hearth. Jamie comes in to find this scene, and Claire’s like, well, situation normal, someone is trying to fuck … Continue reading Outlander 3.07 Creme de Menthe→
Previously: Claire goes back. Jamie faints on his ass. We jump in, with Jamie being dressed by a French woman, and their relationship is… close. He’s in Edinburgh, in 1766, and I’m telling you guys, the streets are too clean. (Every tour guide and every museum in Edinburgh mentioned poop and the disposal thereof. My impression of the history of Edinburgh is that it was mostly shit with the occasional murder and bodysnatching. Anyway.) Anyway, … Continue reading Outlander 3.06 A. Malcolm→
This week Readheadedgirl is off in the UK enjoying cream teas, so I’m on my own for the recap.

Click to reveal and conceal as needed – and please let me know if this method words for you to avoid gif-distraction, … Continue reading Outlander 3.05: Freedom and Whisky→
The title card is a man (it’s Jamie) carving a wooden snake. In Scotland, 1968, Roger has created a timeline murder board to try and find Jamie in the past – the plan is to establish that Jamie was alive 20 years after Culloden – that way Claire can go back and find him. Bree has been going through prison records, and found a bunch of prisons Jamie was NOT in. Fiona, the granddaughter of … Continue reading Outlander 3.04: Of Lost Things→
Previously: Jamie turned himself into the British, and Claire and Frank are at a détente. The title card is a big, sleepy newfie doggie, and panning up to a birthday cake, with candles. In Boston 1956, Frank cooks a big English breakfast, because Brianna wanted Eggo waffles, and Frank is going to feed the Americaness out of her. Claire has an evening free, and asks Frank if he’d like to see a movie, but he’s … Continue reading Outlander 3.03: All Debts Paid→
Previously: Jamie survived Culloden, and got sent home to Lallybroch. Claire had their daughter and is trying to make a home in Boston. The title splash is a redcoat posting a wanted poster for an outlaw called the “Dunbonnet.” At Lallybroch in 1752, three boys, in the manner of troublemaking boys, find a hidden pistol in the dovecote. They are Rabbie, Wee Jamie, and Fergus (HEY FERGUS). Their bragging is interrupted by a bunch of … Continue reading Outlander 3.02: Surrender→
OUTLANDER IS BACK Y’ALL Previously: A lot. So much. The title shot is a tattered flag with St. Andrew’s Cross, falling into a cart of captured battle standards, pulled by the British, and the camera pans over a field full of dead Highlanders. The Battle of Culloden is over, and the British are going over the fields, killing the wounded and looting their bodies. As this all happens, we find Jamie, who is under the … Continue reading Outlander 3.01: The Battle Joined→
