A-

Sometimes, Outlander perfectly harnesses its strengths, and one of those strengths is absolutely its ability to inject romance and sensuality even in the direst of situations.

Now that everyone is back to a somewhat healthy status and eager to hunker down for the winter together, it seems like taking down the pirate is one of the few remaining items on the Frasers' agenda.

4/5

In this episode alone, the Frasers have to deal with a near-fatal snake bite, babies being born in the woods, and yes my friends, a buffalo attack. Outlander really is a gift.

There are some bright points in this episode, but for the most point, it's a remarkably saccharine detour from Outlander's usual fare.

4/5

Regardless, the scope and superb acting this episode displays is not something to take for granted; nor is the realization that the women of Fraser's Ridge are killing it right now!

In happier news, Marsali (Lauren Lyle) welcomed her third child... It was a lovely ending to the episode, which seemed to be all about clinging to and recommitting to life.
