And yet, seeing Claire brutally sexually assaulted again (after being raped in Season 2), after both her husband and daughter were also raped, is a lot of sexual assault for one show. Both then and in its later moments of horror, Caitriona Balfe (as always) knocked it out of that park. It was an incredible episode in many ways Claire’s fantasy of everyone being alive and together (for the most part) in the 1960s for Thanksgiving dinner was a bittersweet reverie that gave us a glimpse at what our 18th century characters would look like in another context. However, the finale, “Never My Love,” brought us back to certain torture patterns the show has used over and over again.
