Caitriona Balfe has a nice enough singing voice to pull it off, but it’s a bizarre detour from the quest at hand: even with Duncan Lacroix sporting his best frown, the idea of her whispering to people about a “strapping, red-haired man” while telling fortunes and strutting about to lewd songs on stage feels way off kilter. Together, they wind up employing song-and-dance methods to unearth Jamie, something that Claire presumably didn’t have in mind when Jenny warned her she would have to do things she never imagined. So it’s a shame, then, that halfway through the episode, Jenny is subbed off for another partner waiting on the bench: Murtagh Fraser. It’s a fantastic double act, one that blends comedy and moral dilemmas with a gung-ho feeling of excitement.

Then she stops and relieves her milk load before they move on. There’s no room for sentiment like that here,” insists the borderline blood-thirsty Jenny. When they come across a soldier, though, the thorny question arises of whether Claire’s willing to go far enough to help her husband. Jenny even enters Legolas mode, revealing unexplained tracking powers to find traces of Jamie’s party through bird patterns. It’s great to witness the pair riding off, pistols tucked in the back of their dresses. She’s tough and stubborn, like her brother, but also sees the world through the eyes of a new mother. Laura Donnelly has been a highlight of recent episodes as Jamie’s sister, Jenny. And so Claire and Jenny do the only thing they can: team up for a rescue mission. Already seen Episode 14?
