'Outlander' Just Aired the Best Episode of the Season So Far
Wondering what Brianna's up to now that she's casually time traveled to the 18th century? The answer: So Much. Sunday's episode of Outlander took us back to Scotland, and not one, but four familiar faces popped up to say hi-including your imaginary husband Frank Randall. Here are the biggest moments from an episode that had an abundance of drama and a complete lack of patriotic slow-motion bald eagles.
Briana's Officially an Outlander!
That's correct, friends: Brianna made it through the stones and lasted approximately two minutes before face-planting down a hill and spraining her ankle. But don't worry, she was super smart and brought an Ace Bandage, not to mention ibuprofen for the swelling. Oh wait, never mind, she literally brought nothing with her except for one single peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. Is a PB&J going to heal your foot, Brianna? No! It! Is! Not!
Anyway, the good news is that she managed to limp her way to a cozy looking home. The bad news is...
Laoghaire's Back
AKA Jamie's ex-wife and Claire's mortal enemy. She's going through a lot thanks to Jamie not sending her the money he promised, but she's actually extremely kind and welcoming-until Brianna casually mentions who her mom is and Laoghaire reacts by calling her a witch and locking her inside the house. Whoops.
Fortunately, Laoghaire's teenage daughter hasn't inherited her mother's penchant for being low-key evil, and gives Brianna a secret ride to Lallybroch where she meets up with Ian. And while some people might be mistrusting of a total random with an inexplicable American accent wandering in and claiming to be a relative, Ian's just like "cool, lemme pay for your voyage to North Carolina!" Which brings us to....
Brianna Taking to the Seas
But not before changing into the most extra fur coat ever, inexplicably finding pink lipstick, and getting herself a servant for the ride. But before you're just like:
Please note that Brianna is still an independent woman who can make her way in the world alone! She was simply saving another woman from being sold as a concubine.
And Frank Is Back!
Well, kinda. He's still dead, but he shows up in several flashbacks. In one, we discover that before he died, Frank found Jamie and Claire's obituary (the same one that spurred Brianna to travel back in time). This means he knew Claire was going to go back to Jamie, which miiiiight have something to do with Frank being so adamant about getting divorced.
Ugh, Also Roger Is in Scotland
And he changed out of his mustard yellow turtleneck-which would be exciting except he changed into a pair of mustard yellow culottes that look straight out of Zara Fall/Winter 2018. And much like Brianna, he has literally no idea what he's doing and decided to time travel with nothing but a gemstone, a knife, and a map. Like... How about food? A toothbrush? Some water? Antibiotics? Apparently not.
Anyway, while the stones sent Brianna to the middle of literally nowhere, they conveniently send Roger straight to a local harbor. And he manages to convince a local captain that he's super manly/useful by holding a barrel, and gets work on a boat to North Carolina! The thing is...
Roger's Traveling with Stephen Bonnet
Otherwise known as the guy who stole Claire's ring, who's now the captain of Roger's ship. And he seems just as evil as ever, judging from the fact that he murders a child with smallpox within just a few minutes of being at sea. Honestly, as much as Roger is The Worst™, I certainly don't want him to die-especially not before begging Brianna for forgiveness. But not going to lie: I'm worried.
Roger Now Has a Low Ponytail
There's honestly nothing more to add, but this felt like it warranted it's own section. Until next week!
