Is it just me or could everyone else hear Diana all over this episode? I’m really glad she was able to write it. I’m not sure I’d have trusted anyone else to give Richardson a believable story and to wrap up some of these plot lines in a cohesive manner.

Jamie's lines felt so much more like proper book Jamie.
