I want my first time to be with someone like you.” Jamie warns her that “the first time can be vexing,” and assures Geneva that it won’t hurt as much “if I take my time.” It’s all very erotic-beautifully shot and well acted-but incredibly uncomfortable because of what precipitated the events. She firmly says, “No, I’m doing this for myself. He asks Geneva if he can touch her and when Geneva is nervous he says they don’t have to go any further.
Jamie does indeed go to Geneva’s room that night and quickly disrobes. The show is depicting a gentler kind of rape than what Jamie endured at the hands of Black Jack Randall, but it's still a violation. The whole situation is really problematic. When that doesn’t sway him, she threatens his family at Lallybroch, and since family is his Kryptonite, he acquiesces, reluctantly. She threatens to have Jamie’s parole revoked. Jamie’s delicate sensibilities are offended by Geneva’s “indecent proposal,” but Geneva refuses to take no for an answer. She orders Jamie to come to her bed and deflower her. Geneva is going to be married in three days and she doesn’t want her first time to be with the crusty, old ass man she has been promised to. Geneva quickly realizes there is more to Jamie’s story, and not one to pass up an opportunity to make trouble, she later pays Jamie a visit in the stables as he is, literally and metaphorically, shoveling shit. Conveniently, Grey’s brother, Lord Melton, happens to be perambulating with Geneva and Isobel while Grey and Jamie are talking. We’re four episodes into the season, but this show is clearly going to carry out this grand tease a bit (or a lot?) longer.Īs he promised in the previous episode, Major John Grey visits Jamie, and the two play chess. Brianna doesn’t want to give up, but Claire says, “It’s time to go home,” and she and Brianna head back to Boston. Graham (Reverend Wakefield’s housekeeper) cautioned against in Season 2. After a particularly disappointing dead end in Edinburgh, Claire worries she is going to spend her life chasing a ghost, exactly as Mrs. Brianna and Roger and Brianna and Claire grow closer as the three search various archives for more word of Jamie, but have little luck. They learn he was imprisoned until 1756 when the prison closed. Claire, Brianna, and Roger (the deceased Reverend Wakefield’s son from Season 2) work on finding Jamie in history now that Brianna knows her true parentage.
Most of the interesting stuff happens in eighteenth-century England this week, so let me quickly summarize what is happening in 1968. The bad news: That sex does not happen between Jamie and Claire, and the circumstances begetting the sex are…uncomfortable, at best. Good news this week, guys: There is some reasonably hot sex in this episode of Outlander. This article centers on Season 3, Episode 3 of Outlander, “All Debts Paid.” If you’re not yet caught up with the show, be warned: Spoilers abound.
