The Reckoning:
Mid-season 1 opener.
Jamie saved his wife Claire from what Randall was about to do to her.
By 21st century standards it was absolutely deplorable that Jamie demanded Claire apologise by what Randall was going to do to her and then punish her for it.
Served him right when Claire refused to let him in their bed before really making things up at the end where Claire discovers a disturbing gift with a gun.

By The Pricking of My Thumbs:
Season 1, Episode 10.
Guest stars Simon Callow as the Duke of Sandringham.
After the death of Geillis’ husband it sure took Geillis some time to react in horror to his death.
Quite an astounding ending in which both Claire and Geillis got arrested for witchcraft.

The Devil’s Mark:
Season 1, Episode 11.
The episode title refers to the mark left behind on one’s skin after a vaccination.
Of course such a mark could easily be construed as coming from the Devil to 18th century folks.
What a gruelling trial for both Claire and Geillis.
What a revelation from Geillis that she too is from the future but much further than Claire as Geillis is from 1968.
It sure took a lot for Claire to tell Jamie that she comes from the future even though it was a lot for him to take in.
Having finally reached the stones, it is remarkable that she ultimately decided to stay with Jamie.

Lallybroch:
Season 1, Episode 12.
Lallybroch is Jamie’s family home and it wasn’t quite a smooth homecoming for Jamie as he comes back with Claire.
I thought that Jenny was rather unfairly harsh to new sister-in-law Claire. Jenny had an instant rudeness to Claire when there was apparent no need for such rudeness to exist.
Thrilling cliffhanger with Jamie and Claire held hostage at their own house.

The Watch:
Season 1, Episode 13.
As there was a reward for Jamie’s head, Jenny came up with the cover story that Jamie is her cousin rather than her brother.
Whether it is a coincidence or not Frazer Hines, whose Doctor Who character Jamie McCrimmon is the inspiration for Outlander’s Jamie, has a brother Ian (who himself appeared in one of Frazer’s Doctor Who stories The Mind Robber) had at one time got mistaken to be Frazer’s cousin!
Pretty enjoyable episode which saw a blackmailer getting killed and Jamie joining the Watch in their raid leading to a thrilling cliffhanger about Jamie’s fate after their party got ambushed by the Redcoats.

The Search:
Antepenultimate episode of season 1.
The episode title refers to Claire’s search of Jamie.
This search involved her singing a song from her own time but that has not stopped other people in singing it since this was a time in which copyright did not exist. Good singing though.
At the end Claire finds out Jamie’s location but it unfortunately resulted in her making an unpleasant deal.

Wentworth Prison:
Penultimate episode of season 1.
Guest stars Frazer Hines. Hines of course played Jamie McCrimmon in Doctor Who and who became the inspiration for Outlander’s own Jamie.
Here Hines plays Sir Fletcher Gordon, the governor of the episode title prison.
Claire goes into the said prison to rescue Jamie but Randall walks in on this rescue. Quite intense on what went on in the prison from this point on.

To Ransom a Man’s Soul:
Season 1 finale.
Guest stars Ian Hanmore as a monk and he also played a monk in Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw. Tooth and Claw is a Doctor Who episode that did not feature but had a mention of the Doctor’s former companion Jamie McCrimmon, albeit as Dr James McCrimmon and Doctor Who’s Jamie was the inspiration for Outlander’s own Jamie Fraser.
Harrowing that this episode is the aftermath of Jamie’s rape by Randall and dealing with the aftereffects of it and hence what the episode title alluded to.
They are slowly coming to terms with what has happened culminating with Jamie and Claire boarding the ship and that particular news that Claire gives to Jamie especially how unexpected it was.

This special from ET Canada takes a sneak peek at season 2.
Interesting to see what to expect including the Paris setting.
Some fun along with the way with facts about Scotland and a sword fight.

Through a Glass, Darkly:
Season 2 opener.
Intriguing the season begins with Claire back in the 20th century a few years after the end of World War II.
Here she is reunited with Frank who she now declares her ex-husband due to her marriage to Jamie in the 18th century.
It sure was difficult for Frank to take in that Claire is now carrying Jamie's child.
After seeing Claire settling in back in the 20th century not to mention her eagerness in getting all the history books she could find in order to read about the Battle of Culloden, we then see her with Jamie in the 18th century in which they just arrived in France.
It is in France that Stanley Weber makes his entrance as Comte St. Germain who becomes a new enemy to Claire and Jamie.
Weber had been Karen Gillan's co-star in Not Another Happy Ending and the Scottish Karen had been strongly suggested by fans online for her to get a key role in the heavily Scotland-theme Outlander.

Not In Scotland Anymore:
Season 2, Episode 2.
They sure aren't in Scotland anymore as this episode looks at Claire and Jamie settling to life in France.
A certain problem that the King has is not something I wanted to see which led to Jamie's suggestion that he should eat porridge.
Quite revealing what that woman who was accompanying the King was wearing.
As a result of an unwelcome reunion with the Duke of Sandringham, Claire meets Randall's brother and gets the shocking news that Randall is still alive.
Claire herself says that she could hardly hear the fireworks upon learning about Randall still in the land of the living. Yeah that is not something to have fireworks about.
