Review of Outlander Season 2 Episode 12

Rupert's eye patch makes me sad.

It took them five months to get to Inverness from northern England. We can do it now in a matter of hours.

"A bannock a day." What amounts to a roll all day is not enough.

You had to know Mary would find Alex eventually, Claire. Although, he must be really sick if he needs that much laudanum.

I'm with Jamie. No more fighting! Everybody just go home!.

Damnit, Charlie! Jamie had a good plan. It's a shame he can't tell anyone the outcome of the Jacobite rebellion. Also, you're a soldier, Charlie? Um, no.

INSERT CURSE WORDS OF YOUR CHOICE HERE. Because guess who's back? The devil. Claire's face says it all.

Yeah, you're Brother of the Year, Jack.

I feel you, Jamie.

Why do you feel the need to help everybody, Claire? And why drag Murtagh into the lion's den with you?

Poor Colum! The moment he and Jamie have talking about Dougal is so charming

Where is Colum's wife while all this is happening? Shouldn't she help decide her own husband's fate?

Gellis is still your friend, Claire? Okay, sure. If you say so.

Assisted suicide is different, I guess. Less of a sin?

Oh, she used the same treatment for the lawyer's asthma last year! Whatever happened to Ned? Did he survive the crowd at the trial?

Claire's make-sure-Frank-gets-born is looking good. Although, the closeted Randall is doing everything he can to change Alex's mind. And, as it turns out, Alex is not just a pretty face, and knows more about his brother than Jack expected.

Ha, Dougal's "Oh crap, ma brutha's here!" face is classic.

You're all heart, Claire. You just don't seem to get, though, that all anyone cares about is what they can see, right now, and that's Black Jack, not Frank.

A sadistic bastard is better dead than you, Murtagh. Sorry. But I love you for offering.

Even Black Jack knows he'd make a bad husband. At least he's self-aware?

It's not all about you, Dougal. Oh, and Ned's alive and back to his lawyerly duties.

Face it, Dougal, Jamie's younger.

What epiphany did Jamie just have?

Most Depressing Wedding Ever. Especially when you know, as the audience, that Claire knows the groom is gonna die in a matter of days. Poor minister, little does he know "upholding" the marriage won't take much effort.

I already told you that you are not a soldier, Charlie! Remember?

Subtle reference to "Three Wedding and a Funeral". Here, we'll have one wedding and three funerals.

Is it weird that I just realized how similar the actor who played Alex looks to Tobias Menzies?

Well, Black Jack went right to Anger in the stages of grief. Although, people don't usually beat on the corpse.

And we've time for another Jamie and Claire kiss scene. A relief from the death, while they plot a death.

As expected, Culloden Moore is still the plan, after all, for all their talk of cowardice. Turns out the Prince is one.

History's history. No use sweepin' it under the rug.
