First Wife
What a way to renew a marriage. Lost souls return to refresh their lives but all they find is a little more hell. I guess you can't have heaven without hell. I mean, you need one to know the difference from the other. Ye ken what I mean?
You may think family dispute and anguish is not enough to carry an episode. That's going to surprise you then. Because, in the Frasier family, truth needs to be told and explained, at all costs. I thought prior to this episode that maybe the first wife was someone other than Claire. While that was wrong, the "other" wife shocked me outta me kilt. Bringing Laoghaire back was a surprise that opens the door for more threats and danger. And more tears I am sure, as she has two daughters who call Jamie, "daddy". I am sure there will be tears later because of that. Due to problems that Laoghaire had with 2 previous marriages, these two girls needed a father and loved the father they thought they had.
Despite the presence of future danger or woe, it was such a great site to see a party again even if it was only during Jamie's explanation of his circumstances. I really think Outlander would do well to have at least one episode filled with happiness and celebration. Once again, you need a little heaven to endure hell.
I loved this episode because it handled personal strife well. It made me feel like our Outlander family is one again.
