Outlander 4X2: Do No Harm (Patreon)
Content
I really, really needed a good Jamie and Claire episode. It had been a rough morning. And I got the best I could have asked for.
So, Auntie decides to leave River Run to Jamie (without telling him first). And he immediately wants to make a bunch of changes. Well really, he just wants to figure out how to free the 150+ slaves that she's keeping on the property.
However, I love that Claire is so adamant about not being able to own people. And I love that Jamie agrees with her. Especially since he doesn't have as much first hand knowledge as she does for how they were treated in the 'past.'
It also really sucks that the rest of the slaves didn't actually want Claire to save Rufus. They think life is better being owned than what will happen if they disobey.
Claire tried so hard to save him, and she managed to do that, but then ended up needing to kill him rather than let him get tortured. It's just such a shitty situation.
I have no idea where we're going from here. Staying here means owning people, and taking that other dude up on his land offer means going to war. I don't know what they are gonna decide.
