I like this show a lot but you really don't want to think too hard about the timeline here. Among other things Eric's mother has already moved on from her husband's disappearance and is publicly living with his former partner in about two weeks time and Abby has gone from surly teen who wants a new car to eco bomber

Lizzie is the absolute worst. Why didn’t Brianna slap her too??

Jamie is a hot tempered Scotsman.  Also, even spending time with Claire wouldn’t change anything.  Before he knows that it’s Bonnet that’s done it, he’s now hearing 2 different stories that involve Roger - first that he raped Bree, now that it was consensual.  He’s confused and he goes off half-cocked, as he is wont

She’s torn between them.  And besides, I think she’s angry with Jamie herself.  She also feels guilty.  

my main takeaway from this episode is that Murtagh is turning into a stone-cold silver fox. Definitely digging his more refined look.

Did anyone read the book??? Yes, Bree is upset about what she sees as Jamie’s high-handedness on the matter if killing Bonnet; he sees it as his right as her father. Not only that, as a survivor of Culloden, Jamie knows the hell of having had to kill and what it can do to one’s soul so he wants to spare Bree that. Forg

I was waiting for them to say in unison,  Tampax! 

Try being dragged behind a horse for ten days and NOT wanting to call whose dragging you a bastard.

Doesn’t matter what color you are, you would have choice words for someone that bought you and forcing you to walk 10+ miles a day tied to a horse with minimum water...oh, and the other version of you died tied to a tree

Did anyone actually read the book?? The scene where Jaime physically overpowers Brianna is straight from the book to prove to her she couldn’t have fought harder and to stop blaming herself. She realizes it in the book and says,” You could have just told me.” Jaime says he tried, but it wasn’t until she knew it for

Claire basically uses witchcraft in the book to pull Jamie out of what was almost a coma, but yes basically.

Is Brianna going to be okay with living on a plantation? Is Outlander going to address that at all?”

I thought I saw some (probably way too subtle) expressions from Brianna when she did kinda clue in that she was on a plantation (and we know her old roommate and friend was black). But I’m not sure how much it should

Right, and Jamie obviously takes rape pretty seriously—his instant reaction was that he had basically murdered a man who he had told raped his daughter and she was now saying it was consensual.

I dunno, frankly Jamie’s knee jerk reaction (especially as he suddenly thought he basically nearly killed a man his daughter had falsely told him raped her) given the times AND the character felt completely in character to me. Jamie lets his emotions get the best of him without thinking, constant, and he also *does*

I don’t think I can emphasize enough how sick I am of the story line in which one character doesn’t tell another character something else, for what seems to me to be a very cogent reason - my daughter does not follow this, so I can confess here that I called the pound to see if her dog, that she was forced to give up,
