The flashbacks about Claire's bond with the patient whom she lost due to anaphylactic shock were quite moving, particularly the scenes in church with Claire taking part in perpetual adoration in Graham's stead. It is uplifting to see religion depicted in a positive light in the show, Claire is not a church-goer but she does not ridicule faith and does not laugh at it, this is rather rare in contemporary TV shows. In a way, as Claire notices, her patient Graham brought her and Jamie together again, as his death prompted Claire to reflect on the past and her life as well as initiating her journey to Britain thanks to which she got back to Jamie.
The whole plot with Claire's finding out penicillin after all and the operation on the twins, with Marsali as her assistant, was interesting too, though the operation itself was a bit repulsive ;)
Roger and Brianna's quarrel was not the best thing in the episode, though this time - thanks to Claire - they can mend their differences and it seems that Roger is a bit more mature in his relationship with Bree, he is making some small progress.
The entire part with Knox discovering the connection between Jamie and Murtagh was a suspenseful sequence, I feel bad about Jamie killing him and then causing fire to hide his crime, perhaps he had to do it to protect his family and himself, but it is still murder.
Bringing a cat as a present for Claire was quite sweet of Jamie :) a nice ending to the episode after dramatic events with Knox. I also liked Claire's voiceovers and her meditation on the nature of God and time.
I wonder if Claires discovery on penicillin will alter the future!

Roger annoys me. I didn't like him much in the books and the show is no different where he is concerned.
