It’s about 25% amazing, and 75% awful. Despite being almost entirely contrived from whole cloth, and having very little to do with the book, this is one of my favorite episodes of the back half of the season.Alastair over at Storywonk said that the story structure itself in this episode is like the precision cogs in a clock, so there’s another meaning there, too.Because the only thing that meshes this story with the books is Jenny giving birth and Jamie being captured, I won’t have too much to say about book vs. show. I loved watching Jamie break in the stable yard and beat the tar out of the three watchmen. But I’m still going to miss having the engraved message for Claire to discover in the 1960s.
The eighth and most recent volume of the series, Written in My Own Heart's Blood, was published in 2014.
It comes in at about 56 minutes on Audible, and there is a lot of detail woven into the chapter through Claire’s thoughts, especially when it comes to the time back at Leoch.Just a warning about the next two chapters, they are long.
It’s nice that they finally come to a place of rapprochement right before everything goes to hell.The fake-out for Jenny’s death (lying there in her bloody shift) was not fun, but I understood that it was also standing in for us not seeing the blood being shed in the gully.Ugh. He’s probably my least favorite thing about the episode, though. And Jamie takes it hard, but tries to reassure her. They are so much like brothers. There’s an understanding that what Jamie’s going to do is dangerous, and she’s worried, but loves him. Giant, awkward, and Claire clearly is thinking: WTF?? It’s a bit of a fake-out, in that, even though you’ve just seen all of the “previously on Outlander” nonsense reminding us just who and what the watch are in Scotland at this time, you have to ask yourself, “do they actually mean a timepiece?”
Chapter 24 is set to take about three hours of reading and Chapter 25 is set to take two hours.
Fantastic. And much further down the road, I don’t see how Brianna will be able to whip out Ellen’s necklace at Lallybroch as proof that she is Jamie and Claire’s daughter.
Costumes are amazing, but so far, they’ve been missing on all three pieces of symbolic, important accessories: Claire’s wedding ring from Jamie, Ellen’s necklace, and Ellen’s bracelets. I could watch an entire episode of Jamie and Ian.Claire’s worries that she’s barren are so heart-wrenching.
Really, this moment between them is far and away better than some stilted exposition. Claire VO again.
It also sees Claire and Jamie fully back on the same page, …

The boar tusk bracelets have already played out in 114, The Search, so they aren’t as big of a deal, but they looked awkward the whole time.Claire staring at the road when Ian comes back without Jamie just tears your heart out. This is where we break from the Jamie who strapped his wife to the Jamie who says he can’t bear her pain, even in a “good cause” like pregnancy.
That is the way to end an episode. It’s a bit of a fake-out, in that, even though you’ve just seen all of the “previously on The great thing is, once you get to the end of the episode, you realize they meant both. It’s all to do with a ring.
It’s one of the reasons I put off coming back to blogging about this show, because I knew I was going to have to find something nice to say while hating every moment of the Claire and Murtagh show. I love that Jenny gives Claire the boar tusks as a way of finally accepting her as a sister and friend.The boar tusk bracelets themselves are…problematic?
Gabaldon is currently writing the ninth novel, Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone.
I completely understand if you slow down at this point because both chapters do have some clear breaks in between. This chapter is relatively short, especially compared to the next two chapters! The other members of the watch are slimy and violent enough to be forbidding, but he’s the standout.
Jamie punctures the tension, taking the blame for Horrocks’s death, and gaining Taran’s respect. No false conflict, nothing that will be easily resolved in a moment, but a world-shifting event that is going to change everything going forward.Unfortunately, the next episode is a hot mess.
He agrees to meet with Jamie in summer of 1743.
My goals were:: To learn what it took to write a novel, and To decide whether I really wanted to do that for real. I’ll still do the single posts for the two chapters so just catch up when you get a chance!There is an extra special part of this chapter that wasn’t used in the TV show at this point.
Gabaldon began the first volume of the series, Outlander, in the late 1980s, and it was published in 1991. The best is contrasting Jenny’s labor and fight to bring wee Maggie into the world with the raid/ambush.I can’t decide if I like Jenny’s description of pregnancy being moved to her labor, because instead of her weaving a spell with her words, she’s talking through her pain. The title card to this episode is one of the best in the season so far. (Note- shouldn’t her water break after a while of contractions? Otherwise, a lot of this is included in the show with a bit of invention so we get to Let’s take some time to break down this chapter, as there was certainly a little foreshadowing going on.
Jamie’s way of calming Ian, and bringing him back from the edge of disbelief and despair is lovely.I like how MacQuarrie pays them back for the hay, which brings him back to the “likable” side of the tension oscillation. It’s spun throughout the episode and builds, with rises and falls. The OUTLANDER series started by accident in the late 1980s when I decided to write a novel for practice.
