Outlander Recap: How I Met My Father

Sometimes, you can forget Outlander is a fantasy series, but this week, the show uses the time travel of it all to its storytelling advantage.

Thanks to a real piece-of-shit kid who, admittedly, is pretty helpful, Roger and Buck learn that the local villagers have caught wind of Jerry’s presence, know he’s stealing from them (a time traveler’s gotta eat! He’s trying so hard not to give too much away as he cleans his dad’s wounds, they share a drink, and Jerry tells him about how his plane went down in the Highlands during a covert MI6 mission that involved trying to take aerial photos of Nazi labor camps in Poland. I mean, I don’t totally buy Sophie Skelton’s strangling skills in this scene, nor do her hard f ’s land as well as, say, Lord John Grey’s do, but her swift kick to Rob’s face does seem to do the trick in shutting him up.
