Outlander “The Search” Episode 14 (original airdate May 9, 2015) The staff at Lallybroch is in a scurry preparing to search for their missing laird. Jenny is delegating the tasks with her newborn baby in arm. Ian (Steven Cree) is frustrated — recouping in a chair, with his arm in a sling — and demands to know what Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) plan is. “I intend to get my husband back,” she tells. Clearly, she can’t go alone and Ian knows it. He tries to take a moment to gather his strength, but the man lost his leg (his fake one […]

Outlander Episode 13 “The Watch” (original airdate May 2, 2015) The episode begins as if no time has elapsed, Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) in the foyer of Lallybroch with a gun pointed at his face by a group of bandits. Claire comes down the stairs and stares helplessly flanking one side of the room, Jenny comes around a corner and helms the other side. But it’s going to be a showdown “Taran put your gun down,” Jenny says. OK, so she knows the bloke. A good sign. “I found this scoundrel in here, Jenny,” Taran MacQuarrie (Douglas Henshall) tells. “He’s lucky […]

Outlander “Lallybroch” Episode 12 (original airdate April 25, 2015) Let’s start by saying there were plenty of visually stunning scenes in Episode 12 of Outlander — some beautiful (the cinematography of Scotland in this episode is breathtaking), some horrifying (the floggings) and some just downright nasty (Randall schlopping out his ballocks, OMG). The episode opens with lavish panoramics of the Scottish hills and seaside —simply beautiful. As the aerial views zoom closer to land we see Claire and Jamie on horse making their way to what we presume to be Lallybroch, Jamie’s ancestral home. Claire and Jamie playfully chat. Probably […]

Outlander Episode 11 “The Devil’s Mark” (original airdate April 18, 2015) True friendships come to play in Episode 11 of  Outlander “The Devil’s Mark.” The episode starts with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek) being thrown into some dark hole, left wondering where the hell they are. Geillis knows. It’s a thieves’ hole and they will be sharing these tight, cold quarters with a bunch of rats. “You only have yourself to blame for this,” Geillas tells Claire, believing that maybe it was Claire who brought the wardens to her house. So not the case. It’s that damn, […]

Outlander Episode 10 recap: “By the Pricking of My Thumb” (original air date Saturday, April 11): When we last left Claire and Jamie they had made amends with a steamy romp in front of the crackling fire, with an amusing vocabulary review to follow. They both ended up declaring the other their master, and Jamie vowing to never raise a hand to Claire ever again.  As Jamie readied himself to fetch them some food (all that sex leads to an appetite), Claire finds a wrapping of twigs and twine — very voodoo like looking, Blair Witch-style — under their bed.
