Outlander is back tonight with episode 6, “Both Sides Now.” It’s the last episode until April 2015.
According to the Starz official synopsis, “Both Side Now” features Claire being torn apart by her two possible lives. After months in the Highlands, Claire has now married Jamie. Although it is a marriage of convenience and necessity, it’s obvious that this marriage isn’t a hardship on either of them.
The synopsis reads: “Frank desperately searches for his missing wife, while Claire tries to come to terms with her new marriage. Claire is faced with an emotional quandary as a life-altering opportunity presents itself.”
Book fans will be excited to finally see some scenes directly from the Diana Gabaldon novel as the Highlanders and Claire experience some trouble on the road more than once. There’s definitely some proper sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat this time out. There’s also a confrontation that should have book fans on the edge of their seat and smiling at the same time.
As was the case last week, there will be some scenes that are not from the book. We will see what Frank has been up to all this time. It is both equally interesting and heartbreaking.
As the clip below points out, Claire and Jamie are not all in agreement about what Claire should do. In a sense, the honeymoon is over.
In this next clip, Jamie lets Claire know there is hope for him to clear his name and no longer be an outlaw. If he is successful, they can return as husband and wife to Lallybroch where he is the Laird.
Alas, this is the last episode until April 2015! But have no fear Outlander fans, we won’t forget you. Starting next Saturday, we will have a regular Outlander feature to celebrate the show. It will be called Sassenach Saturdays. Pop by next week and join in the fun.
If you can’t get enough of Outlander and want some post show fun, join us on Sunday, at 2:00 p.m. for a live episode of Talkin’ Outlander, our Outlander-focused Google Hangout that we host along with the crew from That’s Normal. It’s a fun, slightly irreverent chat as both book fans and non-book fans give their opinions about the most recent episode. Although given the subject matter of this week’s episode, we suspect we’ll be slightly more subdued. Last week over 2,500 people joined us, so come join in the fun.
We’ll tweet out the link on That’s Normal right before, but you can find the link here once we’re live: http://bit.ly/talkingoutlander.
So, you are invited. Use the hashtag #TalkingOutlander to ask us questions on Twitter, and use the Google Hangout’s fancy Q&A to talk to us as we chat.
Don’t miss Outlander on Starz, tonight 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
