If you didn’t watch Outlander episode 3, The Way Out, you may wanna click out of this post, seeing as it’s full o’ spoilers. (Oh lord, I am writing in half-Scots now). If you DID watch it (and why wouldn’t you … GO NOW), then you don’t want to read my introductory paragraph, you just want to get to the screencaps. So without further blathering (half-Scots again, someone stop this), here are my top 10 moments from The Way Out.
1. Sexy, concerned Frank
Basically, I’m gonna love any shots of Tobias’ face. But this scene has so much goodness in it: the frustrated, frenetic married walk-and-talk; Frank’s concern and provision for Claire’s safety; Claire’s fearsome stubbornness. And that ass grab. Don’t tell me it wasn’t an ass grab.
2. Every Angus Scene
… but especially the handy he gives his dirk right here.
… and when he and Rupert turn into Merry and Pippin.
3. The Footman from Cinderella
I’m really glad he got a good job as a tailor, but it’s too bad he still gets treated like a dog.
4. THIS LOOK
Laoghaire does not have time for your douchbaggery, Jamie. Her clock is ticking; get it together.
5. This Unresolved Sexual Tension
because nothing is hotter than palpable UST. Aaaaaaaaaand I’m pretty sure this is kiltboner #2.
6. Murtagh Schooling Claire
Murtagh does not have time for your petty schoolyard bullying, Claire. And he’s totes trying to get you and Jamie together. He’s the Scottish Yente.
7. Jamie and Claire’s Telepathy
…. or foreplay, same thing. She barely gives him a glance and he knows what she needs. This speaks to some awesome intimacy coming soon.
8. Mrs. Fitz Fighting the Man
She’s sticking it to your misogynist shenanigans, Father Bain. She’s sticking it where the sun don’t shine. Heck yes.
9. THIS LOOK
… because he loves her for her mind. I mean, no one else wants to listen to Claire wax intellectual about the genus and phylum of the local flora. Let’s be real.
10. Dancing Dougal
He looks like a giddy little boy at his cousin’s magician birthday party. OMG I want to hug him.
So … what were YOUR top moments from episode 3? What can’t you wait for next week?
