I’ve watched and re-watched the clip below what seems like 100s of times, which in fangirl translation means like a dozen. I loved hearing what Jamie is thinking and seeing things through his eyes.
So many theories, so many ways to play it out.
Watch for yourself and what theories or questions have come to mind.
Without further adieu the opening scene from Outlander Episode 109
The main question that I have to ask. Who is the blonde walking behind Jamie?
There are tons of theories around. After reading some posts, my fave being Killing Time here is the main theory, and make sure you check out the link above for the others.
I think the only theory that makes sense would be that it is Laoghaire Mackenzie. Ron Moore has said that 109 will be back at Leoch, so this theory makes the most sense with TV timing, which may slightly alter that of the book. SPOILER ALERT OUTLANDER NOVEL BELOW.
If in this version Jamie gets Claire and runs clear back to Leoch still angry, then Claire would be left at Leoch while he presumably goes to think nearby and Laoghaire, hearing he has returned, would then go to meet him and hear about the wedding. This sets up the trap, the trial, the rescue and the subsequent escape to Lallybroch in a timeline that matches other spoilers for the back half of this season. Pros: Fits in with the storyline, propels us towards future events. Cons: Laoghaire, you guys. No one likes to see her mack on Jamie, plus it starts the slide into a lot of bad stuff.
What are your theories? I am anxious to hear them as much as I am anxious for it to be April 4th already!
