[Outlander Summary] S02E08: The Fox's Lair.


Back in Scotland, Jamie received a letter from his cousin, Jared, that have Jamie name signed along witth Stuart Crest. It's mean all the clan or an individual name pledging loyalty to Charles Stuart. However Jamie never sign it. His cousin forged his signature.

Charles has landed in Scotland and gathering his army. Jamie has no choice now except join the rebellion army. Claire suggested they leave the country instead. But, Jamie choose to fight for his family and Scotland, and hoping the change of history along the way.

Jamie and Claire go to visit his grandfather, Lord Lovat, to ask support for Jacobite and in two weeks will be meet Murtagh and Lallybroch's men in Kingussie.

Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

During our ride to Beaufort Castle, Jamie filled me in on what he knew of his grandfather. Over the last 50 years, Lord Simon Fraser of Lovat
had been alternately loyal< to both the exiled King James and the monarchs sitting on the British throne.

His personal life was equally infamous. Aside from numerous extramarital dalliances, Lord Lovat had had three wives, two of them acquired by nefarious means.

Surprisingly when they arrive at Beaufort Castle, they also meet Column MacKenzie there. He came with the same interest, the war. Still having suspicious Column has something to do with the witch trial, Claire is not happy to see him.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

While Jamie's meeting dragged on, I took the opportunity to look over the place Lord Lovat called home.

Not completely recover from Column presence, Claire again shock when she meet Laoghaire. She's on duty to accompany Column to help with his laundry. Laoghaire apologize to Claire for horrible things she did to her, say she has changed. Still angry to the young girl, Claire didn't give her forgiveness.

At dinner the leaders of the clan discuss wheter they will support Jacobite army or not. While Jamie show his support for King James, his uncle Column has his doubt. Jamie think Jenny is right, his grandfather wants something in exchange.

The next day Claire approach Laoghaire, tell her there is a way to earn Jamie forgiveness. Aware Simon, Lord Lovat's son, infatuated with Laoghaire, Claire ask her to help boost his confidence to stood up to his father and took Jamie's side.

When Claire leave Laoghaire and Simon, she go to small chapel across the street and meet Lord Lovat's seer, Maisri. Claire ask the seer what she saw about Lord Lovat that makes him mad the day before. Back at the castle, Lord Lovat have documents that will decide if the Lovat clan join the war or not. Before Jamie sign the document, Claire play an act using information she received from Maisri.

Claire Fraser Monologue #3:

As we put distance between ourselves and Jamie's loathsome grandfather, my heart lightened.

We had Lovat's men now. Jamie would have the prince's favour and at least the opportunity to steer the rebellion to victory.

Maisri had said we could change the future. Perhaps we already had.

[Outlander Summary] S02E12: The Hail Mary.

Claire Fraser Monologue #1: It was hard to believe that these were the same brave Highland warriors who had beaten the British army at Prestonpans and Falkirk, who had marched triumphantly into England. Five months of retreat with not enough food and brutal weather had left them broken and demoralized. Our worst nightmare was coming true and I felt completely helpless in the face of it. They arrive just outside of Inverness and get some rest. Even though Dougal and his men are tired, Jamie still ask him to take a patrol to locate the British army. Don't want waste more time, Jamie sent Murtagh to fetch the prince so they can make plan sooner. The three of them know what will happen next because Culloden Moor lies just a few miles east. When Claire go to Inverness to replenish her medical supplies, she met Mary Hawkins. Mary doesn't look happy to meet Claire because she knew what exactly Claire told Alex in Paris about their relationship . Claire offer Mary to apolo...

[Outlander Summary] S01E01: Sassenach.

For a tv show, the first episode is very important. Because it will determine whether the audience will continue watching or not. Well, I belong to this category. There is no chance for the second or third episode hehehe. Outlander S01E01 "Sassenach" managed to attract me to watch the next episodes because of the interesting and solid storyline, and strong characteristics. When in fact I am less interested with a story "traveling through time" background. Claire Randall Monologue # 1: People disappear all the time. Young girls run away from home. Children stray from their parents and are never seen again. Housewives take the grocery money, and a taxi to the train station. Most are found eventually. Disappearances, after all, have explanations. Usually. Strange, the things you remember. Single images and feelings that stay with you down through the years. Like the moment I realized I'd never owned a vase. That I'd never lived any place l...

[Outlander Summary] S01E06: The Garrison Commander.

Concern about Claire well being, lieutenant Jeremy Foster take her to meet his commander at Brockton. Dougal come along with them. Claire is welcome by the brigadier general, Sir Oliver Lord Thomas, and join him and his men for lunch. There's a tension interaction between Dougal and Lord Thomas that makes Dougal has to leave the room. Claire Randall Monologue #1: Even though I wasn't going by my own choice, I still felt a heaviness leave my breast. And for the first time since I passed through the standing stones at Craigh na Dun, I found myself surrounded by my own people. They might be called Redcoats instead of Tommies, but they were still the British Army I had been a part of for six long years. And somehow it felt liberating to be looked upon with sympathy and respect instead of hostility and suspicion. I knew only too well what Dougal was feeling. A Scottish village it may be, and on Mackenzie land at that, but for Dougal, it was now enemy territory, and...
