[Outlander Summary] S05E05: Perpetual Adoration.


Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

How many times have I put my hopes, my fears, my secret longings into the hands of a being I can't see, can't hear, can't even feel?.
And how many times have my prayers been answered?.

Part 2

Time is a lot of the things that people say God is.
There's the preexisting and having no end. There's the notion
of being all-powerful, because nothing can stand against time, not mountains, not armies.
Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Remember, Man, thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return. And if time is anything akin to God, I suppose that memory must be the devil.

The episode begin with a flashback of Claire and Bree in Boston after Frank died. Jamie and his militia arrive in Hillsborough to collect men and meet with Lieutenant Knox. Knox gave Jamie a letter from governor Tyron that say he intends to pardon the leaders of the Regulator movement.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

As a child, I used to stare at spiderwebs, watching and waiting
for an insect to become caught. While part of me was horrified
by watching the death throes, I was mesmerized by the way
the tiniest vibrations in the web would signal the spider
that her prey was near.
I wonder, is time God's eternal web, silk strands stretching through time, the mildest touch setting off vibrations that echo through the eons?.

With Marsali help and hard work, Claire finally found her penicillin. Claire also continue her treatment for the twins by using the penicillin.

Claire Fraser Monologue #3:

Is God the spider, embracing us through our death and resurrection, or is he simply the spinner of the web, watching as the silk shimmers and vibrates through the cosmos...
Awakening the real spiders, the ones lurking deep within the recesses of our own natures?.

When Roger try to calm Jemmy, he found the gemstone Bonnet gave to Bree. He and Bree later have another misunderstanding and argument on why she accepted the gemstone. To clear his mind, Roger go outside all night, hunting. The next morning he meet Claire and the mother in law give him some marriage advise.


Governor Tyron give newest order to Knox to continue the search of Murtagh only and order Jamie and his militia going back home. Before he left, Jamie was invited by Knox to play a chess. But then Knox received the transcript of the Ardsmuir prison roll after Culloden and Jamie is forced to reveal who he really is.

Claire Fraser Monologue #4:

God the infinite, God the merciful, God the eternal. Someday, I will stand before God, and I will receive answers to all my questions about everything in his universe, and I do have many questions.
But I won't ask about the nature of time. I've lived it.

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...
