Oh,Outlanderfriends, I laughed so, so hard during A Hundredweight of Stone.
It was, perhaps, not the intention.
Its not like Im over here suddenly shipping Claire and Lord John.
it needs to commit to the bit.
These Roger/Buck scenes are giving off real this meeting couldve been an email vibes.
We have much juicer stuff going down in 1778.
We even, dare I say it, have juicer stuff going on in 1980 where surprise!
Rob Cameron reveals he didnottake Jemmy through the stones; he just wanted to get rid of Roger.
Whats not cool, however, is not giving this whole Claire/Lord John thing room to breathe.
c’mon note: Im complaining out of love!
What we do get of this duo is so good!
The tears in that mans eyes!
The moment when he looks over at the empty chair across from his chess board, weeping?
Thats devastating right there.
that it is hard to watch.
They are both angry with each other (Claires he is not yours to mourn!
), angry with Jamie, steeped in this despondency, and almost irrevocably broken.
When they awkwardly wake up next to each other the next morning there is a different kind of intimacy.
It wouldnt be without some bumps, of course.
In the end, she has one word, mainly, and that word is bigot.
In the carriage ride home, she takes her husband (!!)
to task for being so against Henry marrying a Black woman.
John wouldnt want that for Henry or Mercy.
John does look terrified at the thought of a life like that for his nephew.
Give Henry and Mercy their own spinoff, you cowards!
Claire hates this, of course; she is a rebel till the day she dies.
He is trying to keep Claire alive, but he needs her to play the part just a little.
This party provides two major moments.
First, after watching William her closest tie to Jamie, even if he doesnt know it!
Poor guy, it is not meant to be.
The other important moment is a fun surprise on the dance floor.
Hes quite loud about it, to be honest.
She promises to keep Richardsons secret, but thats about all.
His luggage made it onto that ship, but he never did!
Jamies response is, William, hes here?
and babes if you didnt think that back-and-forth meant that William was definitely eavesdropping, you dont know TV.
William finally learning that Jamie is his real father is everything I hoped it would be.
Unlike the whole Jamie is dead!
Holy hell is Lord John taking some real Ls in this episode!
