For the most part, Je Suis Prest felt like a 'I'll Make A Man Out of You' montage, as we see Jamie trying to make men out of a bunch of highlanders who have never yielded a weapon in their life.
We have the return of Dougal. In the beginning, he is his usual, pompous self, but by the end of the episode we see that he truly cares for Scotland.
We also see flashbacks of Claire's time during WWII, which were the strongest part of this episode. We knew that she lived through it and that it's one of the factors to her strong personality, but this is the first time that we truly see the scars that it left her. The flashbacks start small and build to a truly powerful scene, during which Claire remembers how two soldiers were killed while she lay helpless in a trench. The transaction from the flashback to the present was also beautifully done.
'Je Suis Prest' is not bereft of its lighter moments, though. A young British soldier breaks into our heroes' camp, leading to a pretty comical scene of him being interrogated about the location of his camp.
All in all, 'Je Suis Prest' is an alright episode, with both strong and meh moments.
