I think it was the best episode of outlander..the whole episode started and finished and it felt like few minutes..It was dramatically and emotionally touching episode..Ronald D Moore did a great job with direction and the story was well written..great acting by actriona and heughan...Flashing forward to 1968, Claire travels to Scotland with her twenty-year-old daughter, Brianna, and meets Roger Wakefield. Claire visits Lallybroch and Culloden Moor to make peace with the past, while Brianna and Roger bond over researching Randall family history. Claire finally reveals the truth to Brianna about her time travel through the stones, her life in 1700's Scotland, and Brianna's true parentage. The story is inter-cut with another one back in the 18th century, which happens on the day of the Battle of Culloden. When Jamie's last ditch attempts to deter The Prince fail, he and Claire come up with a dangerous plan - which Dougal overhears, inciting him to a murderous rage. Jamie must do everything he can to save the ones he loves, even if it means saying goodbye to some-or all-of them...

This is the third time I've watched this episode and it still makes me emotional.
I've read all of the books and now watching the series for the third time. I love their love story. This episode is fantastic with the glimpses of different times, piecing together the story over the years. I would recommended the series and the books to anyone.

The story was well articulated with meticulous direction and precise acting. The fast forward and entry of Brianna is yet another twist we shall enjoy in next season. This episode is undoubtedly the best episode of Outlander series!

We get to see more flashforwards with an old Claire, something I have wanted to see for a long time and it was perfectly executed, the overall flow of the past and present was nicely done. This was 80 minutes of fine television, high quality drama and high production design made this episode a masterpiece. Cinematography is as always great. The scenes are just beautiful to look at, professional. One of the best season finales I've seen.
The first season was about getting to know the characters and here with the second season we get to see exactly everything a story of time travel should have, superb story telling. Everything feels real and believable; props, costumes, acting and characters. The Paris story arc was great, simply stunning. Same quality as a Hollywood budget historical movie.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClaire admits to needing a dram and Roger says, 'I'll join you'. The liqueur Drambuie gets it's name from the Scottish Gaelic phrase, an dram buidheach, 'the drink that satisfies'. Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to the Isle of Skye following the defeat in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, aided by Captain John MacKinnon. Information was exchanged involving the liqueur recipe between the Prince and the first MacKinnon clan. A different MacKinnon family took over the recipe and distribution.
