NO THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES | Maybe it’s because when Jamie comes to in the back of a wagon and sees Claire, dressed in her traveling bard clothes, he thinks she’s Randall and tries to choke her to death. Yay, right? So why do I not feel relieved one bit? So the trio manages to hoist Jamie over a shoulder and hurry him out the door Claire left open in the previous episode. The sounds Fraser makes as they cover him and roll him over are inhuman, but the cows are making enough noise to distract the guards. “Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “Interrupting cow.” “Interrupting cow wh–” “MOOOOOOOOOO, JACKASS.”Īnyway, Murtagh, Angus and Rupert are right on the cows’ heels, and once the path is cleared, the three men find Jamie face-down in the cell. It is! And no sooner has a curious Randall opened a wooden door than MacRannoch’s entire herd of cattle trample him like someone just called out, “Who wants a burger?” I’m pretty sure that my nerves are just shot from the anticipation of what might’ve happened in the scene before, but the moment he goes down makes me giggle uncontrollably. What’s that strange sound? Could it be… hoofbeats? The captain seems like he’s willing to keep his word, because he grabs a knife and starts toward the bloody, beat-down Scot but pauses when he hears noise in the hallway. The first sign we get that Jamie hasn’t succumbed to the absolute horror that are his circumstances is when he rasps, “You owe me a debt.” Oh right - Randall promised to give Fraser a quick, desirable death in exchange for their terrible night in the cell. (I’ll be rescinding that gratitude later on.) When the camera moves, we see that Randall is stretched out on the cot behind Jamie a wide shot reveals that they’re both naked, and when Black Jack gets up and begins to dress, we get the Full Menzies. Whatever was going to happen at the end of the previous episode seems like it’s already taken place - and for a moment, I thank God and Ron Moore that we’ve been spared the scene that those familiar with the book have dreaded all season.
