So ... maybe Faith grew up in a brothel? Whether she was sold as an infant or somehow ended up there later? I was speculating. I am trying to make sense of the "Faith Lived!"

more like 200 years! This freakin' show goes away for SO long I can't remember anything that happened!

That was my first thought! I think I posted it somewhere. Master Raymond or the nuns or all of them sold the baby (I said initially sold her to a brothel - kind of like Fergus was sold or grew up in a brothel.) << and that is why - when Faith died years later - her daughters ended up in a brothel. Jane even said she had been there since she was 10.

I like Nash - but NOT as a romantic partner for Eliza = more like a brother.

He DID notice - right! It was subtle. And he added a kind of a backhanded compliment.

As someone who really enjoyed William and Eliza's banter and rich relationship, I too am enjoying this new detective. Mainly because I felt like they wrote the William character into a corner with the will-they-won't-they nonsense.

We don't know enough about him to know what he likes. At that time - and well into the 20th century - when a woman married - she quit her job (if she even had one) - period - and stayed home and cared for the house and children - period. Women didn't have many choices. Old movies depict this well into the 50's and even the 60's. Men go to work and earn the money - and woman stay home. They haven't shown this new dude being/thinking any different than any other man of his time.

Yeah. That's my face when I taste what I have cooked! That was a cute scene. Mr. Potts equating cooking to chemistry/math. Perfect way to get through to the logical Eliza. So when Inspector whatshisname asked Eliza -- very casually -- if she had any plans that evening or if she was just going home -- did anyone else catch the look on his face? when she said - yes - she had plans. And then later - was that a backhanded compliment when he commented on her dress? Is he flirting? Because he is super subtle if he is! Ivy sure does NOT seem in a hurry to marry! What's up with that?

When Claire came back (from the dead) after 20 years and Jaime was married to Leery -- they had a formal dissolution to their marriage -- Jaime even had to pay 'alimony' to Leery. So it just seemed weird that this time everyone just shrugged and pretended the marriage never happened.

Sorry I refuse to watch the prequel. I've been wondering what happened to Fergus and Marsali!!!! So the show just cut them? (the actors - blah blah) Claire and Jaime don't even mention them anymore.

TV Echo Thanks for all these! I should have come here sooner!

I can't remember the inspector's name either. He's ok. I hate kids on TV shows so I am not excited about the new dude's child. Sigh. I liked Willian, though and I liked the layered history and relationship between him and Eliza. But William is gone so I adjust. I suspect TPTB will get us all invested in the new inspector and his and Eliza's relationship (whether working or romantic) and then -- the last minutes of the very last episode -- boom! William returns! Nash is fun as a character but NOT a love interest. IMO

I spell it -- JAIME - on purpose because I like they way it looks.

I have only a vague memory of Season 2 -- I do not remember Geillis wanting Claire's baby? I also have NOT read the books -- but I have 'heard' that -No - this is not in the books. (at least not Jane and Fanny being the daughters of Claire and Jaime's Faith) God! I am going to have to re-watch!

Ok. gotcha! I read somewhere that in the books Claire has some magical powers. I remember Master Raymond healing Claire with lights/touch, but the show has NOT shown Claire having that ability. It also has not (so far anyway) shown any scenes in 1739 with Bree or anyone else having special healing powers. I don't read fanfic. The baby somehow living seems far fetched/fantastic but it also goes quite nicely with a freaking show whose entire premise is TIME TRAVEL!!! I am actually OK with this twist. I wondered HOW it happened in the books. And I want it to make -- maybe not logical sense -- but some kind of sense that .. well ... makes sense! Or it's gonna be like Game of Thrones. Dude never did finish that novel! He let the showrunners write the ending that was kind of sucky. I mean BRAN??????? fucking Bran playing the long game - knowing the whole time he was going to be king! Sorry, I digress!
