9) Other Shouty! bits: - Jamie's coat is SO dramatic. Costuming this season? A+ - J x C meeting Buck is honestly kinda funny? "You remind me of your father" "Of course, we're family" DO YOU TWO REMEMBER YOU 🔪 HIS PARENTS?? 😅😆 - Rachel totally stole the newspaper - Willie asking after Fanny was cute

7) The progression of Young Ian's character throughout this series has been one of the most impressive to see and I'm constantly in awe of the growth we've seen in John Bell's acting "My da may be gone, but I'll guard your left in his stead." THAT'S MY BOY VOL. II 😭👏

6) If nothing else this ep had many great one-liners (including already mentioned): - "You may not, sir" HE IS FERGUS PERIODT - "And your little dog, too" No wonder where Mandy gets it from 😂 - "A brothel? It's no' enough I'm going to find my first wife?" - never forget where we met wee Young Ian 😅

1) First shout-out has to go to Cesar Domboy who I love seeing back as Fergus!! We get precious few moments with him throughout OL where we truly get to see his character shine. This one may be his best yet next to 3x11 and the end of 5x12 2) "I'm already the son of a great man" THAT'S MY BOY!! 💜

The way Jamie's kids all showed up for him this episode...my heart is full. William: He is [a very striking gentleman]. Fergus: I'm already the son of a great man. Ian: I'll guard your left. #OutlanderAtMidnight

From Claire & Fanny’s tearful teatime to Rachel confiding in C about wanting to be near Ian when he saw his first wife & son, to Fergus’ pride in his Da and Ian promising to guard his left… this ep is all about how these Fraser kids are such good eggs because of their parents 🥹 #OutlanderAtMidnight

“I’ll be there with ye, Uncle…dinna fash, my da may be gone but I’ll guard your left in his sted” 🥹👏🏼 Young Ian always being there for his Uncle Jamie is everything 🤍 And Jamie praying over them before they leave 🥹 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“They’re certainly happy to see their Grandda” 🥹 Of course they are 🤍 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“If there’s one trait that James Fraser has successfully passed to all his children, it’s stubbornness.” You’re not wrong Lord John, that Fraser stubbornness is strong 😌🤭 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“But I’m already the son of a great man” 🥹👏🏼 Fergus Claudel Fraser forever being proud to be the son of Jamie Fraser 👏🏼🤍 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“I’m fine. I can assure you. I expect him home at any moment. I’ll let him know you stopped by.” Claire Fraser being the strong woman she is and standing her ground, not letting him think he can intimate her 👏🏼👏🏼 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

MY HEART 🥹🥹🥹

LIKE A GODDAMN FOOL

These shots are perfection 🙌🏼❤️ I second all of this! S8 has been delivering 👏🏼👏🏼

17) Other Shouty! bits: - Anyone outside the fam who knows Fergus as Claudel is BAD NEWS, DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING LORD JOHN 😩😭 - I love how willing Jamie always is to assist Claire with her healing tasks, how he's always been curious to learn from her. Doctor Claire and Physician Assistant Jamie 💜

15) SOFT!HAPPY!FRASERS 🥹 That's it. That's the Shouty!Caps. I just love them so much. Holding onto this for as long as I can because there's just going to be so much unhappiness for them in the weeks to come, I just know it 😩

11) LA DAME BLANCHE IS THAT YOU??? Seeing Claire FINALLY coming into her powers is so exciting!! Adawehi would be so proud 💙🤍 12) The shot of her pulse to represent her power without any special FX was BRILLIANT 13) Imagine just how powerful she'll be with fully white hair 14) The Faith flashbacks 😭

2) THAT. BITE!!!!!!! 3) "Did I break your skin?" "You do that every time you touch me, Sassenach." The duality of this couple to go from insanely hot to insanely soft within one scene and not have it feel forced or like whiplash I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

1) I honestly wasn't sure how they'd play this fight in a way that felt organic, but it SO worked. Not only that, they made it so perfectly humorous!! It was such a good balance of heat, banter, softness, and PASSION. Very reminiscent of both The Reckoning from S1 and the S2 daybed scene in ways

I so hate to see them fighting, but when you're as good at making up as Jamie x Claire are...... 😌😏 Time for a Shouty!Caps recap of Outlander 8x03, "Abies Fraseri" #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight #ShoutyCaps

“Jamie, what color is my hair?” “All the colors of the earth. But…but here…all around your face…’Tis the color of the moonlight, Mo graidh.” The way at he looks at her with such awe and love, since the first moment 🥹❤️ That look suits you, Healer Claire 🥹🩵 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“We go to bed fighting about your third husband, and I wake to find you gazing at a book written by your first.” “Well, lucky for you, I’m only in love with my second.” I’ll always love Jamie & Claire’s flirty banter 🥹🤭 The cutest lovebirds❤️ #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“Do you think we’ve gotten that out of our system?” “Our?” “Our.” “Aye, we did.” “Did I break the skin?” “You do that every time you touch me, Sassenach.” No one does fighting & making up like Jamie and Claire do 😌❤️‍🔥 The look of pure love 🥹❤️ #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

Seems to me Cunningham has no idea of Jamie Fraser’s politics…😠 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser knows a coded letter when he sees one 👀 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“Jamie, what color is my hair?” “All the colors of the earth. But…but here…all around your face…’Tis the color of the moonlight, Mo graidh.” 🥹🤍 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“A blue light…seeped…from my fingers into her body and I felt her heart beat again.” “You are a brilliant healer Claire. I’ve witnessed it myself. I’ve seen you bring people back from the brink of death before.” YES SHE IS 👏🏼 IN HEALER CLAIRE WE FOREVER TRUST🩵 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“No, I can’t.” 😭 “Yours is blue.” 🩵 The shocked expressions of Claire and Jamie 😳 Meanwhile we’re all freaking out cause we’ve been waiting for this 🙌🏼 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

We love men who love their wives so much, they put their pride aside for them 👏🏼👏🏼 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“Do you think we’ve gotten that out of our system?” “Our?” “Our.” “Aye, we did.” “Did I break the skin?” “You do that every time you touch me, Sassenach.” Their love is everything. They are everything. 🥹❤️‍🔥 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“I could’ve lied, you know.” “No, you couldn’t.” “Why didn’t you lie then?” “Cause I promised you honesty.” Only Jamie and Claire can argue while still being just as loving 😌🔥 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“I will not tolerate any actions that threaten the Ridge or its settlers.” 👏🏼 You tell ‘em Jamie Fraser 👏🏼 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“Well, because your father and Lord John had a falling out. …When I thought Jamie was dead, I married him. …Oh. So why is Da mad? Sounds like John was protecting you. It’s not like you slept together? Ma!” 👀🤭 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“I really like you and Mr. Fraser.” “I can assure you no one could make either of them doing anything against his will. Mr. Fraser promised to keep you safe. He keeps his word and so do I.” 🥹🤍 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

“It’s from your former husband. What does he want with you?” 🤭 #Outlander #OutlanderAtMidnight

In the director's own words 💜📽🎬🎞
