4/5
We are seeing a completely different side of Frank, and it's quite interesting. Go to Full Review Amy Wilkinson Entertainment Weekly 05/25/2016
I'd like to believe that even the purest of source-material purists among us would agree that the small-screen adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander has benefited greatly from the increased presence of Claire's left-behind-love Frank. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club 05/20/2016

It's powerful, heartbreaking stuff that leaves you wondering how anyone could still doubt the intelligence and weight of this show. Go to Full Review Jim Halterman TV Fanatic 05/25/2016
4.6/5
This episode takes a big step by giving us a lot of Frank Randall. Definitely more than we've gotten since the pilot and, I think it kind of works. Go to Full Review Samantha Kaye TV Equals 05/25/2016
Major kudos again to Ron D Moore for taking a premise that could be adapted very poorly and making it shine. Go to Full Review Brittany Volk Tampa Bay Times 05/25/2016
I'm still spinning from all the plot movement! Most episodes have covered a chapter or two, but this episode followed six chapters, and yet they still managed to give Frank lots of story that's not in the book. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
