Always Another F***ing War

If Ever A Man Needed Killing...

The Sassenach Files: An Outlander Podcast ·

2020/07/26

In this episode I analyze episode 113 of Outlander “The Watch”. Jamie has taken a rather difficult path to get where he is, and it’s made even more difficult when Horrocks shows up demanding money in exchange for silence. Jenny’s impending delivery, Claire’s admission of potential infertility, and the presence of Taran MacQuarrie and company only serve to ratchet up the tension that was already on high.
