As Claire is now a perminant "guest" and the house healer, we get to see her grow closer to Jamie. Though she believes it's only because he is kind to her, others can see that there is a spark between them, a mutual interest even is she denies it. It's beautiful to watch their closeness grow, via flirting, paying attention to details of the other, and some light teasing. Claire smiling and laughing is a sight to see.
As the house healer, Claire must work her 20th century medical knowledge and translate it to 18th century healing practices. Slowly she settles into the everyday life at the castle, tending to some ailment or wound. But at the same time her modern ideas of medicine clash with old superstition and religous beliefs of posessions and curses. When a local boy is poisoned/possessed, we see Claire come at odds with the local priest (who very much believes she works for the devil with her potions and mixes, any woman with knowledge is devil sent). Though her healing ways makes her a favorite to some, an evil to others.
It's fun to watch Jamie bend to the whims of Claire as she constantly leans on him, often making him her accomplice, when trying to fight old thoughts and customs, trying to help those when she can. These two are quite a pair.
Though the pace has slowed a bit, it fits to falling into the pace of everyday life. Again, feels like reading a book. Production is has expanded to the near by village and local areas. Everything is so beautiful.
Fav Scene: local musician plays a folksong, it speaks of the stones in the highlands, of a traveller who came from another time, lived amongst the locals and then left. It has happened to others before her. And they've found a way home.... a way for Claire to get back to her time... back home. There is hope for her yet.
