Summary

Mary & Blake discuss listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, "In The Forest."

In this episode, we go through your reactions to one of the strongest episodes of the final season — including why so many listeners felt like Ron Moore helped get the show back on track, why Jamie and William's hug absolutely broke everyone, and why Fanny hearing the buzzing has people very, very nervous.

We also discuss the lingering fallout from Episode 8.07, whether Fergus's death worked better than the book version, Marsali leaving the Ridge, Frank's "Deadeye" reveal, Lord John walking into yet another trap, and why the final two episodes still have a LOT to pay off.

Plus, Angie gives us the quote of the season, Mary gets emotionally wounded by Apple Podcast reviews, Blake compares Outlander's spin-off energy to the DCEU, and we somehow end with tuna melts, Mr. Feeney, Chantilly cake, and "I'm not a Hulk, I'm a person."
