Oh, the many feels this episode brings up. To my husband's annoyance, I may have clapped excitedly at the beginning of the airing and muttered under my breath, "We get to meet Lord John." My enthusiasm didn't stop him from enjoying the episode with me though.

I had many thoughts watching it through the first time. You need to listen to the podcast to get my further insights and deep thoughts.

Surrender Ep 101

Surrender

Directed by: Jennifer Getzinger

Written by: Anne Kenney

Podcast Episode 101

That's a whole lot of storytelling to digest. Anne Kenney did an amazing job with the material given, but it definitely felt like too much for one episode. I wanted it to slow down to a more comfortable pacing. Overall, I liked it. There was a good flow to it. The direction was thoughtful as well.

Here are my basic thoughts on Jamie, Claire, and Frank. To get my deep thoughts and ideas, you'll need to listen to the podcast.

It's 1752 at Lallybroch. Six years since the Battle of Culloden.

Jamie Fraser, aka Dunbonnet and Red Jamie, showed us a desolate, purposeless, and wounded man. He was emotionally isolated and barely spoke when he was amongst the family. He was a ghost of a man, until he again found a purpose to live for. He looked dirty and without care for his own comforts or needs. Jamie's relaxed posture when Mary McNab shaved him was a subtle beauty. When he shed a tear as she gifted him with wholeness the night before he left for prison, was gut wrenching. Sam Heughan can convey emotion without much speech or overacting.

I wanted to know more about his time in the cave though. I wanted to see him dream of Claire, as she did of him to give layers to his desolation. I want to know why he wore his hair down underneath the brown hat.

Claire is trying her best to re-integrate into married life with Frank and to mothering Brianna. She's also desolated and emotionally isolated. She thinks she can be one place in her mind and heart, while going through the motions in real life. She cannot. At one point, she wakes Frank to have sex with him saying, "I miss my husband." That is top level cold right there. I am dumbfounded they would write that depth of disconnect into Claire. That was downright mean. She thinks Frank won't notice her lack of intimacy while he is connected to her body, ultimately her internal betrayal sinks Frank's ability to be close to her. It is awful to watch play out. I don't like to think of Claire as so selfish. Hurt, grieving, acting out...sure, but cold like this, it's too much. In the end, being a stay-at-home mother and wife isn't enough and she enrolls in medical school. On her first day, she meets her soon to be BFF Joe Abernathy.

The heavy handed play of her being a feminist is over the top. Claire goes to medical school because she must. It's not to further a feminist agenda. She can't not be a doctor. She finds her deeper purpose there.

Frank Randall is a good man who keeps hoping Claire will open to him and be his honest to goodness wife. He loves her. He wants her. After the dinner party, the jig is up. He knows for sure she is thinking of Jamie while giving her body to him. It's too much. Something broke revealing that truth. He chose to stay. I feel so terrible for him.

I wanted to see more of their everyday interaction to reveal what type of husband he was overall. what were his expectations of home and hearth? I think it's a missed opportunity to flesh him out more than Claire being a cold bi*ch to nice guy Frank.

The shot panning back from their twin beds was an absolute acknowledgement of the type of relationship they moved into, after that fateful night.

Jamie surrendered in a literal sense to the British, for the betterment of his family. He went from one prison to another to serve a greater purpose.

Claire surrendered to her different life, different marriage, and found purpose in going back to medical school. She found a lifeline.

Frank surrendered to being a father to the only child he would ever call his own, and to be a husband in a loveless marriage.

Of Lost Things Ep 103

Of Lost Things

Written for Television by: Toni Graphia

Directed by: Brendan Maher

This week's Outlander episode is brought to you by boxes of tissues and excellent tunes. Shout out to Bear McCreary the musical mastermind.

You must listen to the podcast to get my full thoughts and rantings.

Long story short, Jamie is protective of those he loves. He's willing to do what he must for their gain or to prevent their harm. He's a man of deep compassion and honor. When faced with blackmail and coercion, he rises the occasion. He wins the Dunsany's over when he saves their grandson. Jamie's a hero. His sense of normalcy and place, is shattered as the boy begins to resemble him. The man is given his leave and heads back to Lallybroch after 8 years serving his parole at Helwater. He adds the young Ellesmere, the son he cannot claim, to his list of lost things as the episode closes. He never expects to see the boy again.

Lord John Grey and Lady Isobel are to be married. They will raise young William together. It's a beautiful friendship they have developed. Hopefully we will see John soon.

Claire is at her end. Roadblocks since Ardsmuir, Jamie seems nowhere to be found. Brianna and Roger try to be uplifting and supportive, but she calls it quits, saying it's time to go home.

Brianna and Roger share a kiss. The relationship is budding, but Brianna leaves with her mother. With they become more in time?

There were a few misses with social status all but forgotten and that damned snake was just weird. Anyone remember the dragonlfy in amber paperweight Claire gave to Jamie at the stones in season 2?

This episode is full of bittersweet joy and sadness. It's life affirming, yet loss is great.

Will home be what it once was for Jamie or Claire? Can they go back?

This is the gorgeous Bob Dillon cover that brought us all to tears. A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall
