Outlander: 8.07 — Evidence of Things Not Seen Recap & Reaction (WTF Are We Doing Here?)

Mary and Blake recap and react to Blood of My Blood Season 2 Episode 4, "A Portion of My Soul." Lord Lovat's warning about Brian Fraser hits differently when you know the original Outlander, and Brian's showdown with Dougal gives Blake one of his favorite earned character turns of the season. Mary explains why Henry's letter to Julia works so well, while the hosts disagree over the uncomfortable reunion that follows. They discuss Henry forgetting Claire, Arch Bug's surprising act of mercy, Grace and Murtagh's romance, and the growing threat of Seema. And Blake has a theory about why nearly everybody in the episode is trying to become somebody else. Mary's Kilt Rating: 4.3/5. Blake's: 3.9/5. BOMB Impact: Mary 4/5, Blake 4.5/5.

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." Plus: Ellen's pregnancy, the Janet Fraser/Jenny connection, Five Questions That Got Nothing To Do With Outlander, and a truly bananaland Outlandish Theory of the Week.

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.
