Did I miss something in previous episodes about McGDougall being in love with Geillis? I thought he was still all hot and bothered over Claire….For that speedy exposition alone I'd knock this ep.grade down to B. ( but willing to up it to B+ because of the KNOCKOUT costumes and opening scene …and the wry post-duel…
