Jamie & Claire ♥ You Are Not From Here (by Lara Fabian)

So I did something today I’ve not done once this entire Season and I watched the finale early because I actually could not wait for my Amazon Prime app tonight. I don’t know what I was expecting after seeing so many furious and disappointed reviews on here but OMG that was bloody fantastic! 😄❤️👏🏼 Am I watching a different show? There was not one second of this week’s episode I didn’t love! Holy Crap! It was so good, I laughed, I cried, I was pleasantly surprised by Duncan Lacroix’s super super sexy silver fox bod. What wasn’t there to love? Here’s a few of my favourites...

John Bell/Young Ian is my finale MVP! ⭐️ What an incredible performance. My god! He slayed that gauntlet guys! I just watched Ian become the man we all knew he would turn out to be. It was inspiring, majestic, emotional! Cheerio but be back soon Ian. ‘How can we part with ye?’ 😪😭💔

Also whilst we’re on the subject of incredible performances, Sam Heughan/JAMMF had me bawlin’ like a damn bairn! I mean, that was hard watching our boys say goodbye. His lip was trembling like a wee lad who dropped his lolly! I couldna cope! 🍭😪😭💔

Jamie/Roger/Claire - This was the dynamic I was waiting to see all season and it didn’t disappoint. Something about having Sam Heughan, Richard Rankin and Caitriona Balfe all on screen together at the same time. Magic happens. Pure magic. 🎆 I knew as soon as Jamie said ‘What were you expecting? The whole Mackenzie clan?’ 😏 that we were in for a treat. I was like ‘Dis gon’ be good.’ 😄👏🏼 From Roger kicking the crap out of Jamie to Claire telling Jamie to simmer the fuck down. ‘Jamie, for God’s sake!’ Give him a bloody minute aye? 🤣😂👏🏼 That was an excellent scene between the three of them. Makes me verra excited for future seasons. 😁👏🏼

Murtagh/Jocasta - Oh hello Murtagh’s sexy af silver fox bod! 🦊🔥 You know I remember thinking when we first saw those two together that they would make a great show couple. Duncan and Maria have a great chemistry together. There scene was verra sweet, tender and just hot tbh! I am here for it! 🙋🏼‍♀️ G’on yersel Murtagh! 😄👏🏼🔥

Roger and Brianna - I feel like when I saw these two at the Boston airport at the start of the season they were a couple of headstrong kids very much in love but very much in their own heads as well. Brianna was dealing with her own commitment issues when you don’t know if the one is actually ‘the one’. And Roger was being, well, a bit of a silly arse. They were both influenced heavily by their circumstances and upbringing. Now, at the end of the season we have these two selfless grown-ups who have really been through hell separately and just want to be together regardless of whether or not they always see eye to eye. ‘Perhaps it didn't matter that they faced in opposite directions - so long as they faced each other.' - Roger, Drums of Autumn, Diana Gabaldon.

The Episode End - I was on my feet at this point haha! 😂👏🏼 Shout out to Murtagh and Jocasta and their super obvious love for one another now! 🥰👏🏼 That’s it Jo, you hide him! Dinna let anyone take yer man! Jamie’s letter was the best ending to the episode! I was mouthing along the order with him like ‘My first mission is to hunt down and kill the fugitive MURTAGH FITZGIBBONS!’ DUN, DUN, DUUUUUUNNNNN! Haha brilliant! 😂👏🏼 I have been a massive advocate of the Murtagh/Regulator storyline all season so this made me verra happy! 😄👏🏼

Btw props to Sophie Skelton for nailing her birthing scene. Girl was slayin’. I had sympathy contractions just watching her! Seriously, great work! And did you see how worried Auntie Jo looked!? 😪❤️ My heart!

GADS! I am so effing excited for Season 5! How will I cope! 😫😪💔 This was maybe my favourite finale of the series. I loved it! 😍👏🏼

5 Drams o’ Whisky!

Roger’s home! Thank goodness! Now back to Fraser’s Ridge everyone! 🏚 🐖 We shan’t be leaving for a good while yet. In the meantime, I’ll be rewatching the Season, Series and Reading Bees if it ever comes out! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😫😭💔
