Okay, so I had a bunch of questions this episode. No surprise, they are all about the who people in history are. But I think the answers are pretty simple. I just don't know them. Sigh.

I was 100% with Claire. I really think Jamie was going to be happy that she'd found found that she enjoyed. I was super surprised by his outburst and thought he was being a little ridiculous. Claire explained, politely, and he blew up at her. That said, I do think it was really about other stuff and not Claire working at the hospital, but still.

It's interesting that Jamie has taken the pick pocket home. He's giving him clothes and bed and a job. He seems to like him too. I find it in contrast to Frank telling her he couldn't love a child that wasn't biologically his. Somehow, I don't think Jamie would have such a problem.

We've cracked the code! But, who knows how many others have cracked it as well.

It killed me at the end when Jamie was happy and all was forgiven between him and Claire and then she realizes she needs to tell him that Randall is alive. And I don't blame her for not doing it. I'm not sure I could either. Let the man have as many moments of happiness as he can, because right now, they are few between for him.

I think you're overthinking it and not giving yourself enough credit. ❤️ You have a perfect grasp of what's going on as far as the plan and who all of the players are as far as the politics. *Prince Charles Stuart, (The Bonny Prince/the loon/only listens to God) is in France looking for funding/support for his cause, to regain the British throne for his father... *King James Stuart, (He is only mentioned by name and is not seen on-screen) He is in Italy. His son, Prince Charles is acting on his behalf and leading the uprising to go to war against the British. Prince Charles needs money for his war. He wants the support of the King of France... *King Louis, (The guy who was constipated and trying to shit in front of an audience. Jamie recommended porridge). Prince Charles wants to petition the Minister of Finance for France... *Monsieur Duverney, (The chess guy who Jamie threw in the water for accosting Claire) for money for his army since Duverney is the guy who advises King Louis on all financial matters.

"Useful Occupations and Deception," is a perfect title to describe where Claire and Jamie are at in this episode. Their roles in France are taking a toll on who they are and their marriage. I do not like seeing Claire and Jamie at odds. But it is pretty evident that their marriage is fractured at the moment. They are leading separate lives. She's been reduced to a bored, stay-at-home housewife while he goes off gallivanting in the name of stopping the Jacobite rebellion. Claire is becoming more and more frustrated by her role as a mindless housewife and debutante, sipping tea and playing cards with the ladies. "Let's stop the Jacobite uprising" may have been her idea, but in this society, there's not much she can do. She's losing herself. She needs a useful occupation. Jamie is becoming more and more frustrated in his role of deception and his lack of success. He's spending days and nights with people he’s working against while smiling in their faces, trying to convince Prince Charles that he’s a loyal Jacobite while plotting to stop him. After building a friendship with Duverney in hopes of dissuading him from financially supporting the rebellion, Jamie learns from Prince Charles that he's "already secured" the vast majority of funds he needs from English investors. That was a blow. He's tired and feels defeated. He wants to talk things over with his wife. I understand that Jamie is frustrated and wants Claire's help and support to feel better, but she's a doer more than a supporter. And yes, all of the deception Jamie's been doing is technically Claire's plan, but since she can't participate, and because they're little more than two ships passing in the night, why shouldn't she find her own useful occupation? He should be happy she's somewhat happy, but he's still in such a dark place because of Randall. Now combine that with his failures in France, he can't see beyond his own unhappiness. I get it, even if I fully agree with Claire. At the end of the day, I think there's a bigger issue at play for both of them. Their lack of intimacy. It's affecting their happiness. It has put a huge strain on their marriage, which is allowing other issues to come between them and for them to drift apart. They are not the Jamie and Claire we know at the moment. "How can there be love in the marriage when loves leaves the bed?" Suzette, the maid. Obviously the reason is understandable, but the effect remains the same. Remember when you hoped they were going to be frolicking around France? 😩
