Episode 7: Faith
The most heartbreaking episode of Outlander has to be “Faith.” The episode title comes from the name of the stillborn daughter, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about having faith after terrible things happen. Claire gives up hope after losing her daughter, believing her man didn’t love her enough to keep his promise and almost dying of childbed fever.
While she’s miraculously healed physically, nothing can take away the heartache and pain. Yet, she pushes the pain aside and takes steps to get Jamie released from the Bastille. It just means playing a part in the death of a man.
Yes, there were moments with Jamie, but this episode was Balfe’s ability to show just how much range she has as an actress. Claire’s pain shone through immensely, along with her sorrow as she learned the truth about what really happened that fateful day.
