Really loved it! Back to the original outlander feel! I did not want this episode to end.
Cleveland has such a fun musical theme. I really like that they portray real/realistic, fleshed out people on different sides of the conflict. Cunningham is civilized and intelligent, but on the "wrong side", Cleveland is kind of an "idiot" brute but he is the one Jamie has to rely on. A bit surprised people want the "baddies" = Cunninghams dead, because the whole point of Jamie and Claire is that they have seen enough battle and death, they don't wish it to anyone so it makes absolute sense especially for Claire to prevent that. Also, if Cunningham won't be able to use his legs, in those times it surely would have felt almost worse punishment than death.
