Besides knowing who won in the end, I don't know the details of these battles. It's been 50 years since I studied the period. I guess Jamie was free to quit but given how many times he was pushed into service, I didn't realize he could tell them to take this job and shove it. Claire has been roaming Scotland and the early Americas for a long time. Peeing in a bedside bucket would not bother her in the least. And after that fake bit of shyness, she and Jamie talk about sex when she hasn't washed her hiney or hands. I don't know how long after the initial surgery this scene was depicted, but she's been bed panning it for a while.

Sorry, I was typing on a MacBook Air and this forum nearly kills it with all the ads. Editing and editing on it is a bear because it freezes every few words. I'm old and it's a miracle I can remember anyone's name☺️

Totally agree. Claire was going to be executed. They are both mourning the loss of Jamie yet they marry to save her life. He implores her to get the with program, so to speak, to ensure the marriage appears legitimate. Jaime comes back, Claire reunites with him and Lord John steps aside. I have no problem with that, however the townsfolk have been transformed into fan girls because this situation is not acknowledged. Some posters told me that everyone in Lord John's circle left. But the Brits are locking up whores who kill their men. But no one's going after the spy who has left her British husband and gone back to the rebel Jaime who's leading a battalion against them? Lousy writing. Nice of Jamie to abandon his post and enjoy nursing Claire back to health with no interruptions or repecussions.

Not a bad episode, but the acting was somewhat annoying. The victim kept doing the facial overacting like Hargitay does. The other actress was a perfect stereotype of a blue collar New Jersey resident who writes "whore" on the other woman's property. But I found the interrogation scene off. They told the detectives their stories within earshot of each other, but the lack of reaction would be indicative of interviews done in isolation from each other. If they were trying to demonstrate misdirected anger from the wife, they failed with bad staging. When the other new cop was interviewing the guy at the school and got a bit of info out of him, she slams her hand down and says"now that's a good start". Unnecessary cowboy affectation. After the show went on, I realized they never mentioned Carissi's struggles. Then, boom, they had him flame out in court for no good reason.

Well Claire and John hosted that dinner and in return they received several invites. John told Claire it was necessary to accept at least one invitation. There was definitely a social circle which conveniently disappeared when Jaime showed up.

Bigamy maybe but it's been a complete nonissue outside of Jaime's jealousy. Especially weird given the way the show carried on about Brie's pregnancy as though a pregnant widow was scandalous

Yeah, I didn't read the books so I'm going by what's presented.

But for the time period, I don't think the time frame matters. If that Quaker marriage was deemed legal, surely the vows Claire took before the priest/pastor were deemed legitimate. And they never behaved otherwise.

I've just watched this episode, but why has there been no ruckus about Claire and Jaime resuming their marriage while living in Lord John's house? The marriage was done to protect Claire, but since Jaime was legitimately presumed dead, the union was legal and Claire was introduced and acknowledged as John's wife. Yet the outside community and acquaintances act like they are in on the joke. I'm not asking for pitchforks, just some acknowledgment of an awkward situation.

Blurry photo of him through the chain link fence. Full mustache, no beard and he's wearing sunglasses. Nothing newsworthy.

If that is true, Apple changed the default from 4 to 6. I don't remember if it was an OS upgrade or an iPhone upgrade (which I don't do often) but I was forced to create a new six digit passcode.

Her oldest son, who hasn't been shown this season, has a different father, so maybe she'll flip her statement saying she misspoke. -
From Carisi's point of view, his friend was dead and he was unable to stop the woman's rape. So for him to walk out safely while the other woman is left behind and Benson trades places, would be unfathomable to him.
