in today's episode I'm reviewing episode
eight season three overlander from right
here at lallybroch the first wife
[Music]
hello folks how's it going welcome to
the vlog my name is Sean and I'm a
youtuber from Edinburgh in Scotland I
talk a lot about Scottish culture and of
course Outlander and today we are
reviewing episode 8 the first wife
season 3 and I'm real excited about it
because they come back home and my eyes
home is lallybroch this is where we kind
of really get comfortable in Outlanders
I decided to come back here for the
introduction of this vlog anyway
clear and Jamie are coming home to
lallybroch always nice to come to a
Libra right let's go and have a wander
around before we go anywhere
[Music]
folks one thing I've started to notice
about this place and I didn't realize
this the first few times I came these
steps at least the very surface of them
are not the original this has been done
by the production of Outlander to make
it fit anyway they're set more obviously
so as you can see here some of the edge
of it started to follow a there's some
wooden panels on edge there's obviously
a real bit underneath I've got a sneaky
suspicion maybe some Atlanta fans are
taking some of this at home with them
here on the edge of the brickwork here
for example thought would come round the
back of lallybroch and this spot is
never really shown on film very often
but it doesn't go back some abandoned
houses around here but I wouldn't
suggest going anywhere near them because
they are falling to bits basically now
let's get on with reviewing episode 3.8
308
[Music]
alright folks I am back home I have know
watched the first wife episode 3:08 and
I need to say it right away that was an
excellent amazing episode maybe one of
the best of the season so far in my
opinion I'll get into in a little minute
because I need to say I did not review
last week's episode and India for a
number of reasons first of all I got
caught up in time I had a number of
other things on I did the vlog from The
Devil's pulpit which was an outlander
location tour and also I just did not
think that episode claimed the man was
actually very good I didn't think it was
impactful it was probably unnecessary
absolutely but I just think it was it
wasn't that captivating so I don't
review it I mean obviously there were a
few talking points for example finding
out about how Jimmy makes his money
young yen the print shop gets set on
fire and being destroyed and of course
Jamie revealing in conversations he had
with Fergus for example that he had
another wife at that time I was thinking
like I can guess who it might be but
wasn't quite sure and another key point
in that episode was when Ian met clear I
think his reaction was great I have been
critical reactions of when Claire came
back and stuff over the last couple of
weeks but I thought Ian's reaction to me
and Claire was great he cried it was
emotional that's what we were looking
for but other than that like it wasn't
such an impactful episode so I did not
cover it I didn't do a reaction video
but this week the first wife as you saw
I've done a little bit from lallybroch
where this episode is set almost
entirely we love lallybroch don't we
it's just like our Outlander home it's a
place where we feel comfortable it's a
place for a refill jamie is probably
happiest and I think like it was just
impactful right from the get-go
the first way first of all Jenny and
IANS reaction to clear and Jamie coming
home never thought I'd see a graceful
front step again getting young in in
quite a lot of bother for his
involvement with his uncle Jamie and
obviously the very very frosty reception
clear particularly it receives from
Jenny which clear probably didn't expect
like I just for it was really impactful
really emotional
and we were kind of wondering what was
gonna develop throughout the episode it
was really quite intense and I really
enjoyed it I thought it would great but
then we were all wondering where was the
other wife gonna come into play
who was exactly obviously for those who
have read the books you will already
have known who it was but I guess the
rest of us who were only watching this
for the first time have not read the
books it shouldn't be of too much of a
great surprise there was Lili that Jamie
had married like she was quite a key
character early on and one of Jamie's
only potential romantic link-ups other
than clear but clear of course took it
very badly and that kind of grew to a
bursting point when Lili burst into Lali
broke with her gun and shot Jamie that
was quite a crazy party episode but one
that led us to it was clear digging into
Jamie's past now I think I mentioned
this a couple of weeks ago in other
episodes I wanted to hear the
conversation of the parts of their life
that we have been missing parts of
Jamie's life that we don't really know
about because it's been 20 years parts
of Claire's life in this episode we get
a little glimpse of that for the first
time Jamie is confronted by Claire after
he recovers from the gunshot wound
she's like basically what happened with
Lili how did it happen and he goes back
in time to when they kind of rekindled
their relationship at Hogmanay Hogmanay
in lallybroch which was an amazing scene
I really loved that scene they had
Scottish Kelly at lallybroch everybody
was dance and having fun exactly what
Scottish harmonies are all about and it
was really really cool to see that all a
LeBrock actually really great part of
the episode and it also kind of took us
back into Jamie's history a little bit
more I'm kind of hoping as we go on we
will get more and more of those
flashbacks Jamie going back they are
meeting Lily and the reasons where I
married her and obviously it was a bit
of a shock to me when we found out that
he had two more kids with Lili
potentially and I was like what what
really two more kids not only has he
been lying to clear but like we have
been left in the dark as well but then
obviously we found a question after that
they weren't actually Jamie's kids they
were has adopted kids another part in
episode I thought was absolutely
broening as when Jamie like becomes
feverish and clear pulls out the needle
or the penicillin
this goes back to the original print
shop scene when Claire came out with a
photograph of Billy Anna right
I was thinking Jamie must have a really
strong reaction to seeing photographs
for the first time when he saw the
needle with the penicillin and he was
really really taken aback like that it
was a great great reaction and that is a
reaction I'd been hoping for every time
that Claire came out with something very
futuristic I quite liked to see more of
that because it's an interesting play
and I thought I was really really well
done
obviously my son Hugh and a great part
of episode when Claire jabs I'm in the
arse with the needle but actually going
back a little bit earlier than that in
episode as well when Jamie and Claire
had the big fight in the room and Jamie
loses his temper it's the first time you
see a bit of anger and a remotion from
him they start fighting and then they
start kissing it actually reminded me of
one of my favorite moments from the
first season which was a scene when
Jamie had to punish Claire for whatever
she had done wrong at that time and they
chase each other about the room and he
ends up hitting over the belt and stuff
and then have a big fight and there's a
kind of physical thing it was obviously
not cool but kind of funny at the same
time the way that that played out and we
saw that again tonight I think in that
episode when they started fighting and
then ended up having a romantic moment
it was really really fun that kind of
interaction with Jamie and clay I don't
know what you guys thought I thought
that was a great part the episode and
then of course Claire gets into a much
deeper conversation with Jenny because
like we knew from the past they were
almost like sisters they became very
close and for Jenny just a freezer oh we
didn't really know why but they did have
a deep discussion so they could figure
out exactly what went wrong why Jenny
was so upset and obviously it's clear
why the trust was broken Claire can't
tell or why she's been away but Jenny
knows something's not right
but it seems like towards the end of the
episode jenny has been willing to
forgive Claire for the reasons of her
absence over the years and then the big
moment Ned
returned I love the net from the first
season I know about you guys but he was
one of my favorite characters in the
first season I thought it was great for
me he was the guy that was just cool
calm and collected and amongst all that
crown madness back in those days it was
great to see Ned back we all love them
there too hope you guys do too he was
there to give Jamie the advice that
Jamie
absolutely needed about his marriage of
lily and his marriage of clear and what
would happen so that was kind of cool
yet again saving the day and not for the
first time Ned
so it was true great to see him back I
don't know how much more of a presidency
you will have going forward but he's a
great character I hope he just continues
on all these years and actually one more
point about the flashbacks Jamie goes
into details earlier on an episode about
the jewels that we had no kind of idea
about at this time Jamie had actually
found jewels where the old guy had to
come and told him about it
ARDS Muir prison when he left the
present when he escaped we didn't really
know about those couple of days in his
absence but no ignore with he actually
found the jewels and they're kind of
hardships he went for it to get them and
the fact that they're still there so
that was cool to see them come back and
play there's actually a bit of
historical relevance there because there
was a whole story about these jewels and
Bonnie Prince Charlie that he'll
potentially left in Scotland and there's
a lot of people believe they might even
still be around today somewhere other
people say they were probably plundered
so like there is a kind of real part of
those jewels like they really existed
apparently but then we got to the end
when young Ian was sent out to the
Ireland to get the jewels and then he
was kidnapped by a pursuant unknown
unknown to me anyway I don't know about
you guys obviously if you read the book
you will know who has been captured by
but I'm just like gripped at this moment
in time I'm thinking what the hell who
were those people was it the bread red
course was that the French was it some
just badass pirates what has happened to
young Yin Jenny
and older Liam had left their trust and
Jamie and it had been immediately
smashed like that is gonna lead us to
all kinds of trouble I feel in the next
episodes off on some kind of mad boat
adventure who knows we are probably away
from the shores of Scotland I'd imagine
but what do we do know like I'm just so
tense at the moment thinking what's
happened to young young Jamie's gonna
have to go after them of course and
that's where we left off with this
episode a great episode I really really
enjoyed it I don't know about you guys
what did you think
comments down below I feel the emotion
has perhaps been lacking over the last
couple of episodes particularly on the
last one but in this episode they all
brought it back together Beck time and
performed it was just excellent and
