Incredibly, this visual is just the jumping-off point for an incredibly satisfying episode-which tenderly veers away from the novel’s time frame while maintaining its story integrity.
As if that were not enough to give viewers time-travel whiplash, Claire-our stoic protagonist, played by Caitriona Balfe-has ascended from nurse to surgeon, collected a few gray wisps in her otherwise perfect bob, and returned to her old Scottish stomping grounds with a suitcase full of chic plaid car coats. If you haven’t read Diana Gabaldon’s Dragonfly in Amber, from the Outlander series-the book that inspired the Starz drama’s second season-then you were in for plenty of surprises during Saturday’s Season 2 finale, also titled “Dragonfly in Amber.”įor one, the episode opens in 1968, with Jamie and Claire’s daughter Brianna ( Sophie Skelton) now a fully-grown Harvard history student-accessorized with her biological father’s glorious reddish curls an American accent no knowledge of the kilted hunk who sired her or her mother’s time-traveling ability and a chip on her shoulder the size of Scotland.
