But he did manage to be allowed to stand as the Lasses’ lawyer so they could have some defense before the blood-thirsty crowd. He gallantly tried to get the trial dismissed, to no avail. Such a smart and caring man, but he stepped into a den of vipers this day. How kind of them to plan ahead before the trial even started!Įnter the knight in a long waistcoat instead of armor, Ned Gowan (Bill Paterson). The Lasses are walked past a platform being built as a place to burn them.
In the morning they get taken to the court to start the witch trial. Geillis thinks Dougal will come for them, but Claire makes her understand that both their knights in shining armor are nowhere near by. Geillis doesn’t know that Dougal (Graham McTavish) and Jamie were sent away. Enter the wise-cracking guardsman who says, “And I’m King Arthur!” Nice try but no dice in getting out of that hole tonight. Claire tries to tell him that she is the wife of the nephew of the Laird. Then a rather round man comes to drop a half-torn bit of bread down to the Lasses.
What a lovely place this is! Just full of comfy rocks, mud, and RATS!!! The Lasses have a lovely little chat about the fact that Geillis killed her husband, and that Laoghaire set them up. This episode starts with the Lasses being thrown down into the thieves’ hole. But in her defense she can’t help wanting to go to people that need help, the nurse instinct ye ken? She underestimated Laoghaire (Nell Hudson) and the links she would go to get Jamie.
Tonight is Girls Night and the trial of the 18th Century all rolled into one! Our beloved Sassenach ( Caitriona Balfe) is in a pretty difficult situation in Outlander season one episode 11, mainly because she did what Jamie ( Sam Heughan) said NOT to do and went to Geillis’ ( Lotte Verbeek) house.
