Thats not a complaint!!
Our favorite time-traveling historical romance returns for season seven (can you even believe it?)
by reminding us exactly whatOutlanderis all about: The delicate balance of grisly trauma and swoony, swoony romance.
Okay, sometimes it isnt allthatdelicate.
Too much, some might say!
Why, yes, I did.
I think we all are.
Otherwise, why are we still here?
Lets do a quick review, shall we?
Jamie escapes with the help of Ian and their friends from the Cherokee Nation.
Meanwhile, Tom Christie vows to Claire that he will help her.
Its a lot, but it all plays into the season seven premieres biggest moments.
Jail is not enough for this woman!
Drag her onto a boat full of loyalists and preggos who are into leeches and using the term murderess!
the real problem shows up alongside one Mister Major MacDonald.
In a wild turn, the Governor is way more angry about treason than murder.
Maybe its not that wild, boys in power, etcetera, etcetera.
She decides to send that note to Tom Christie.
Jamie says yes, but come on, we all know our boy is lying!
Instead, Tom Christie comes to him with his own plan Tom is going to confess to Malvas murder.
At first, Jamie balks at the offer.
Hes very, butIpromised to always protect Claire with my clan and my name and my body!
As Tom points out, Jamie sending Tom is just another way of keeping that promise.
Tom wants to do this for Claire and nothing, not even Jamie, is going to stop him.
If youre like,why the hell would Tom do this for Claire,you havent been paying attention.
Tom is in love with her, duh!
Its what he wanted.
Jamie would do anything to save Claire, to keep her safe.
Its enough for Claire, at least for now.
He would do anything for her, remember?
Oh, baby, it ison!
But, like, quiet angry, which is much scarier than loud angry.
Is Jamie a mob boss?
I mean, maybe?
But Jamie doesnt waver: Im also a violent man.
Any goodness that prevails in me is because of my wife.
You tried to take her from me.
AND THEN JAMIE MURDERS HIM!!
Jamies murdered before, but this … feels different and scarier and, yes, much more violent.
Will Jamie ever tell Claire what he did in her honor?
He has to, right?!
Wendigo, youll remember, is another time traveler who was with Lionel Browns men when they assaulted Claire.
He didnt hurt her, but he didnt help her either; he stood by and did nothing.
Eventually, Roger stops being a dummy for five minutes and changes his mind.
He and Bree take a stab at forget about the whole thing.
