Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.15 – Written In My Own Hearts Blood.

In this episode, we discuss Jamie’s dramatic actions to protect Claire after she is accidentally shot, the resolution of the storylines involving William, Lord John, and Ian, as well as the continued mystery surrounding Mandy, the “creepy weird kid”. We also analyze the emotional scenes between Jamie and Claire, praising the strong performances and cinematography. Additionally, we touch on the appearance of Frank’s book, speculating on its significance, and the overall momentum building towards the season finale.

Also in this episode:

There was a lot of discussion about the character Mandy, the “creepy, weird kid”, and how her behavior contrasted with the main characters.
The montage at the beginning of the episode, featuring scenes from past seasons, was praised as a great way to set the tone and revisit key moments.
The rescue scene for William involving Lord John and Ian was considered a bit basic, with suggestions it could have been more tense and dramatic.
The relationship and interactions between Buck, Roger, and their “family” were highlighted as strong moments in the episode.
The final scene with Jamie praying over the injured Claire was praised for the lack of music, creating a raw and authentic feeling.
There was discussion about the potential fate of the character Jane, with the hosts speculating she may not survive the season.
We commented on the strong performances, particularly from Sam Heughan as Jamie, and the effective use of lighting and cinematography in key scenes.
There was anticipation about the momentum and plot threads heading into the season finale, including Claire’s surgery, Jamie’s resignation, and the rescue of Jane.
