Mary and Blake recap and react to Blood of My Blood Season 2 Episode 3, "Rabbits Don't Swim," as Ellen and the women of Castle Leoch turn MacKinney's takeover into Highland Home Alone. Mary gives the episode a 4.6/5 Kilt Rating while Blake lands at 3.5/5, and that split drives the conversation. We discuss whether Ellen's flashbacks earn her victory, why Janet's death feels bigger than its consequences, whether Maura has really earned the name "MacKenzie," Colum's sudden change of heart about Brian, Lovat's betrayal, Julia and Seema, and why "You see only what ye expect" may be a stronger line than "Rabbits do swim."

Mary and Blake recap and react to Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 Episode 2, "The Veil of Time." In this episode, we break down Maisri's massive prophecy and why Lord Lovat may be hearing exactly what he wants to hear. We also debate whether Brian Fraser has actually earned his sudden rise as a leader, whether unborn William could have been the reason Julia traveled through the stones, what Mrs. Graham's connection to Henry adds to the original Outlander series, and whether Uncle Lamb missing that newspaper feels tragic or just a little too convenient. Plus: Ellen outmaneuvers her brothers, Dougal and Maura continue to work surprisingly well together, Murtagh meets Grace, Bug somehow has money for everything, and Blake has some serious questions about that horseback scene.
