Kudos to Nell Hudson's performance in 7x09. She really did an excellent job. She could have played Laoghaire - and her argument with Jamie - as being just shrill and annoying and vindictive.
But instead you see she's just sad and bitter. Maybe she's even a bit reflective.
Sam Heughan just lets her do her thing, and honestly you almost feel sorry for Laoghaire. Almost.
Murtagh was so, so right. Laoghaire in this scene is just around 50, and she's definitely still a girl.
I also love how Laoghaire just flat out said to Jamie - I knew you were in love with the Sassenach hoor from like day 1. And Jamie was like - yup, you got me, guilty as charged.
