Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.12 – Carnal Knowledge.

In this episode, we discuss Lord John Grey’s confession to Jamie about his intimate relationship with Claire, and Jamie’s violent reaction. They also explore William’s tumultuous day, marked by outbursts and interactions with a prostitute. The appearance of George Washington and the parallels drawn between his relationship with Jamie and William’s personal struggles are another key topic. We also chat about our thoughts on the writing, directing, and performances, as well as the frequent use of the word “buggered” and the lack of focus on the Roger and Bree storyline.

Also in this episode:

Lord John Grey’s confession to Jamie about his “carnal knowledge” of Claire, and Jamie’s violent reaction to the news.
William’s terrible day, including his outbursts, interactions with the prostitute Jane, and the revelation that his entire life has been a lie.
The appearance of George Washington being really shoehorned in
Praise for the writing, directing, and performances, especially David Berry’s portrayal of Lord John.
The frequent use of the word “buggered” throughout the episode, which we felt was a tad overused.
The lack of focus on the Roger and Bree storyline, and speculation that it may be given more attention in future episodes.
An appreciation for the parallel between Jamie and William’s messy choices and how they intersect, leading to their confrontation.
