Outlander season 7 episode 12 digs into the deep emotional states of the characters (Review)

As a fan who’s been sailing the seas of Outlander since its very beginnings, I can confidently say that season 7 episode 12 was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, a veritable storm at sea for our beloved characters! The interplay between Lord John Grey and Jamie Fraser was particularly captivating, with David Berry delivering a performance worthy of the Scottish Highlands themselves.

As a gamer, I must confess that the latest installment of Outlander season 7 was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! There’s no denying it stirred up a storm of feelings within me, particularly regarding the complex emotional journeys of our leading characters.

In the twelfth episode of “Outlander” season 7, titled “Carnal Knowledge,” we witness the repercussions of these major storylines unfolding. Here’s our take on this latest installment airing on Starz. Please note that I, being a show-only fan, express my opinions based on the series alone. SPOILER ALERT.

Let’s kick off the dramatic scene involving John Grey and Jamie. Wow, David Berry is simply brilliant! It’s fantastic that he portrays Lord John so convincingly. The subtle build-up as he prepares to reveal the truth to Jamie is captivating. His line, “I’ve had intimate relations with your wife,” might have made me chuckle, but it’s undeniably the perfect way to phrase it in this context.

It’s amusing when Jamie initially doubts John, given Lord John’s inclination towards men and the assumption that Claire wouldn’t act in such a manner. Yet, it’s also Jamie! One hardly expects him to joke about something so grave. Alas, poor Lord John ends up suffering a severe beating. We’re all aware of what Jamie Fraser is capable of. And, to our surprise, some of his long-suppressed rage resurfaces. (Laugh out loud)

During this conversation, William storms off to find Claire, struggling to absorb the revelation about his parentage. Despite trying to listen, he’s too enraged to do so and forms premature judgments without all the facts. It’s understandable that he feels betrayed by everyone keeping secrets from him. However, it’s difficult for him to cool down given the flames of anger within him, much like the Fraser fire. An interesting parallel is drawn when William angrily punches a mirror, mirroring Jamie’s recent act of throwing another punch at Lord John. Truly, like father and son, they share similar reactions under provocation.

In a surprising turn of events, the insurgents intrude upon Jamie and Lord John’s affairs. Regrettably, Jamie allows them to kidnap his companion. Aren’t we reminded of season 4 when you let the Native Americans take Roger? This time, it’s more distressing as this is your friend! His jealousy seems to cloud his judgment. It’s disheartening to witness their strained relationship, and Lord John seems to express his guilt through his actions. I believe he feels so remorseful that he thinks he should endure the blows if my explanation is clear. He provokes Jamie but refrains from retaliating physically.

Discussing yet another parallel between Jamie and William, Earl of Ellesmere, it appears he could have done without additional troubles coming his way. Unfortunately, these troubles seem to arrive at what seems like the most inconvenient time possible. As fate would have it, he encounters Rachel and Young Ian and discovers they’ve become engaged. Their attempts to wed in a Quaker ceremony were turned down, which is quite unfortunate. However, I’m confident they will find a solution to tie the knot. Given William’s deep affection for Rachel, this news does not sit well with him.

In response to Young Ian, our beloved Mohawk warrior fiercely defends Uncle Jamie, even if it’s his own son. He won’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of him, as is characteristic of his Scottish father, William. Just as expected from the Fraser men, they send officers to remove Young Ian. One might wonder why this is their only course of action. Furthermore, there seems to be a lot of physical altercations among the male characters in this episode. Let’s try to keep things under control, gentlemen.

William seems out of control and even kissed Rachel. Whoa! He should cool down and surprisingly finds some tranquility with Jane at the brothel. Will this develop into something more? I’m not sure, but I must admit, I kind of like her. What makes this moment touching is that William clings to his integrity, as it seems like the only thing he still possesses. And that strong sense of integrity stems from both his fathers.

In “Outlander” season 7 episode 12, we finally get to Claire and Jamie, the heart of the story we’ve been anticipating. The dialogue between them doesn’t start until 43 minutes into the episode, which felt a bit draggy for some viewers like me. Nevertheless, here we are now. When asked about the situation, Jamie’s inquiry isn’t particularly tactful. Despite being the King of Men, he sometimes lacks the finesse one might expect. However, as the conversation unfolds, he begins to comprehend and eventually offers forgiveness for what transpired.

Despite what seems to be the end, it appears their story may continue. Such significant events are not typically resolved swiftly. Claire believes her partner is deceased, and they have been separated for quite some time now. Perhaps they will discuss things later; for now, it seems they are about to rediscover each other on a more intimate level.

It was intriguing to observe that their romantic moment between Jamie and Claire was juxtaposed with Lord John fleeing from the rebels, who intended to hang him. It’s worth noting that Denzell Hunter proved to be a genuine ally, helping him escape. In truth, poor Lord John has only found himself in trouble and headaches due to the Frasers. To put it frankly, while Jamie and Claire are basking in their happiness, this fellow is on the brink of execution. It seems fair to say they should have extended a hand of help first.

In the 12th episode of season 7, Outlander, the emotional depth was skillfully executed despite the abundant action scenes. The characters’ inner thoughts and mental states were beautifully brought to light, revealing a myriad of complex emotions masterfully portrayed by the talented cast. The pace of the episode was well-managed, with Jamie and Claire’s conversation receiving the attention it deserved. Grade: B (for an excellent job balancing action and emotion).
