Outlander 2X5: Untimely Resurrection (Patreon)

So the dinner party plan worked, but now we have an even bigger problem to deal with. We've got to work with the Count now and actively help raise this money. That seems like a much harder problem to deal with. I mean, if we can just fake small pox and destroy the shipment, sure, but then we'll just have another problem to deal with. Sigh.

I cannot be the only one who was thrilled with everyone mocking Randall, right? It was so nice to see him embarrassed for once. Also, I just looked up Versailles on a map and it does not look like it would be super easy to pop over to another country to have this duel. It looks like a 2 day walk to get to Belgium. And that's assuming you walk nonstop for two days AND that dueling is legal there. (Which I think it was at this point in history, but that is based on a super quick google search that I do not feel confident about the accuracy of. Lol.)

Anyway, I'm also torn about whether or not Claire should have convinced Alex to leave Mary. I know why she did it, but who's to say that she didn't mess things up further and they were already going according to history? I mean Randall is in France right now. And so is Mary. How does she know they wouldn't have gotten together on their own somehow? Either way, trying to change the future is a fickle business.

How are Claire and Jamie going to handle the next year together? Jamie is willing to hold off on the duel for a year, but he's so mad at Claire right now. Plus, now Claire has to put all her effort into trying to get Mary and Randall together? That seems like such a shitty task.

Also, Jamie with the facial expressions this episode!
