Thoughts I had while watching ‘Outlander’, ‘The Fox’s Lair’

‘The Fox’s Lair’ has us back in Scotland and it’s so wonderful to be back home! Then all these ghosts from the past show up…yeah, I’m looking at Laoghaire.

No more French in the Skye Boat Song!

I see you new looking car in the distance. I’m waiting.

Too much war imagery. DNW.

I SWEAR that was Murtagh in that battle scene. It better not be!

via GIPHY
Back at Lallybroch! It feels like home.

Jenny had another baby. Awww.

Claire might not have stopped Culloden, but she saved them all with potatoes.

via GIPHY

Wee Fergus!!!

I’m loving this playful Jamie. God knows we need some fluff for these two.

Murtagh is home!

Well, that didn’t last long.

MARK ME. Charles deserves to die.

via GIPHYHe named all the Highland Chiefs as traitors. I mean, if he forged other signatures, he destroyed the Highlands without them even wanting his scheming ass on the throne.

I’d massage Jamie’s hand…

Jamie’s deep, brooding stare and that jawline. UNF.

Jamie’s like…but what if we WIN Culloden?

via GIPHY“They have never traveled through time.” Oh my Jamie.

Lord Lovat? Who’s this guy? If Jenny hates him, I hate him.

I love her sass.

Oh wow. This sounds like a book I’ve read before! Scottish kidnappings to prevent marriages?

(What is even happening here, Fabio?)

You weren’t completely honest? Not shocked Jamie.

He’s worried she wouldn’t marry him because of his parentage?

MORE OF THIS PLEASE.

Now that’s a sight!

WHAT? Fade to black? This isn’t Breaking Dawn! Go BACK!

via GIPHYJamie’s talking to the bairn and I’M DEAD.

I need to know what he’s saying.

Yes, Claire knows about talking to your bairn before their born.

via GIPHYI’m confused. Did they not tell Jenny?!?

Jenny doesn’t want to say goodbye to any of them.

Fergus is on a donkey!! This is beyond PRECIOUS!

Murtagh is in charge! HA! THAT LOOK.

via GIPHY I don’t like all these goodbyes with Jenny. I guess this is the last time Claire will see her…

Background info drop! In my mind, these cover like 60 book pages.

Lord Lovat is a flip-flopper, kidnapper, rapist, and isn’t monogamous. So, obviously he’s the swing vote here.

Colum Mackenzie!

Yeaaaahhhh…the witch trials.

WELP. Laoghaire got beaten. This is my concerned face.

via GIPHYAnd Colum went and kicked out Dougal. DAMN.

Jamie’s grandfather strolls in like a boss.

Oh dear. Claire doesn’t like to be told what to do grandfather.

Jamie’s lowkey side eyeing her like…Please don’t say anything.

GO AWAY, LAOGHAIRE.

via GIPHYI don’t believe you for a second. Get off your knees.

Me and Claire are the same person. She just drug her!

“Decoration at the dinner table.” Oh LAWD. Claire is going to have a hard time.

Jamie’s a good speaker.

EXACTLY, grandsire. It’s not that holy at all.

Colum’s asking the hard hitting questions…

The one thing the Scottish Chiefs agree on: The French suck.

Um. Random cousin you need to stop being so obvious about your affections.

Grandsire’s like…

via GIPHYColum looks pleased with himself.

Let the rebellion collapse. Let’s not go to war.

I don’t trust your grandsire or uncle either, Jamie.

He has a seer?? He didn’t seem the type.

Wow, grandsire. You’re really not helping your case with Jamie.

He wants Lallybroch. WELP.

There goes Jamie!

I’m laughing like his grandsire right now. HA!

“Implying your grandmother’s a whore..” Oh my gosh.

WHAT?!? Did he just threaten to rape Claire or allow her to be raped?!?

Jamie’s pulling out the witch card again. DAMMIT. Stop with that nonsense.

via GIPHYDid he just say that their privates would be “blasted like a frost bitten apple” if they tried to rape her? I..I don’t even know what to do right now.

Jamie has a flair for the dramatic right now apparently.

Wait. Jamie you’re really thinking about giving up Lallybroch?!

Oh, have mercy. They’re using Laoghaire?

She’s sniffing Jamie’s shirt like a creeper. Yeah, she’s repented…

via GIPHYClaire is talking Laoghaire up. I don’t like this at all.

Jamie dropped the truth on Colum. You can’t just go around doing this to old people Jamie. First his grandsire and now uncle.

I’m siding with Colum here.That moment Colum realizes that he didn’t stop Jamie…

I’m sure everyone prays that he ISN’T immortal.

via GIPHYClaire is like Cupid and Laoghaire has got another man by a stream…

Simon. Stop. No more poetry. Put your hand down.

The seer doesn’t pull any punches. “Why are you in a church?”

OH HELP US ALL. Laoghaire doesn’t understand subtly.

via GIPHYJamie’s got jokes about executioners now.

Don’t sign that deed Jamie! I SWEAR.

He called Jamie “obstacle”. WTH.

NOOOOOOOOOO. STOP HIM CLAIRE!

THANK GOD.

via GIPHYWhose executioner??

Simon stepped up!

The Frasers and Mackenzies remain neutral in the war and Jamie only has the men from Lallybroch?

Calum knows what lies ahead if Jamie doesn’t go home.

UGH. Don’t speak to her.

“And your love.” Don’t trust this conniving girl!

via GIPHYThat’s a lot of Jacobite supporters.

Grandsire is a natural flip flopper. Why am I surprised??

HA! Claire telling him he’s a little like his grandfather.

I don’t know Claire. The future is looking pretty bleak to me…
