Caitriona Balfe's Best Scenes in Outlander
Caitriona Balfe's 10 Best Scenes as Claire in Outlander
3
Season one, episode eight
Our one big quibble with the first Outlander novel is that Frank (Tobias Menzies) isn't fleshed out enough to see at all why Claire has trouble between choosing between him and Jamie (Sam Heughan). Luckily, the show (and Menzies) make Frank very likable, and it is easy to see why Claire is so torn. It gives this scene in the season one midseason finale such emotional heft as Claire desperately tries to return to her own time, screaming Frank's name while he simultaneously calls for her 200 years in the future. It says a lot about their performances that it actually feels like a huge loss when Claire is pulled back by the Redcoats before she can return home.
