Paris is serving spies, scheming, stolen letters... and one very iconic tiny pickpocket.

This week, Nikki and Lisa are recapping Outlander Season 2, Episode 3, Useful Occupations and Deceptions, as Claire finally finds her purpose at L'Hôpital des Anges, Jamie gets deeper into Bonnie Prince Charlie's inner circle, and the Frasers' plan to stop the Jacobite Rising takes a huge step forward... before one devastating realisation changes everything.

We also discuss:

• Claire thriving in her healer era
• Jamie's impossible work-life balance (brothels included)
• Mary Hawkins and the moment everything clicks
• Murtagh and Suzette's unexpected situationship
• Master Raymond continuing to be the absolute MVP
• Claire and Jamie's first proper fight in Paris
• Fergus is in the house!
• Bonnie Prince Charlie somehow getting even weirder
• The secret code hidden in Bach's music
• Jamie proving (again) that intelligence is incredibly attractive
• The Duke of Sandringham striking again
• That heartbreaking ending when Jamie unknowingly celebrates the very news Claire has been dreading

Between political espionage, hospital drama, French chaos and one very adorable pickpocket, this episode somehow manages to be hilarious, heartbreaking and incredibly clever all at once. We forgot just how much we love Paris-era Outlander.

 OUTLANDISHLY HOT TAKES HAS ARRIVED 

We’re kicking off a brand new interview series, Outlandishly Hot Takes, where we sit down with some of our favourite people from the Outlander universe – from cast and creators to superfans, comedians and internet personalities – to unpack their hottest takes, wildest theories and deepest Fraser obsessions.

And who better to launch the series than the hilarious Tim Collins?

If you’ve been anywhere near Outlander TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve almost certainly seen Tim’s iconic videos about accidentally making Outlander his entire personality, including his legendary Claire Fraser impression that even Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan shared themselves.

In this episode we chat about:

• Tim’s unexpected descent into the world of kilts, time travel and Jamie Fraser
• First-time Outlander reactions
• The magic of the fandom
• The female gaze
• Our hottest hot takes
• And whether Tim is officially one of us… (Spoiler: he absolutely is.)

A quick note: We actually recorded this interview back in May, long before we knew we’d be heading to LandCon! So you’ll hear us enthusiastically manifesting an invitation throughout the episode… and somehow, the universe delivered. Consider this your reminder that the woo-woo works. 

We hope you love the very first Outlandishly Hot Takes as much as we loved recording it!

 If you enjoy the show, we’d be forever grateful if you could leave us a rating and review - it really helps other Outlander fans find us!

The episode opens with one of the biggest gut punches of the entire series as Claire returns to 1948 believing Jamie died at Culloden. From there, we unpack Frank's impossible position, Claire's overwhelming grief, Jamie's heartbreaking recovery after Wentworth, and the Frasers' ambitious plan to stop the Jacobite Rising before history can repeat itself.

We also discuss:

• Claire's devastating return through the stones
• The moment the fandom turns on Frank
• Jamie's trauma and the lasting impact of Wentworth
• The iconic transition back to Jamie in France
• Claire immediately becoming an 18th-century political strategist
• Murtagh continuing to prove he's the most loyal man in Scotland
• Cousin Jared making his debut on the Hot Leaderboard
• Le Comte St. Germain entering the chat
• Why this might be one of the strongest season premieres of the entire series
• Fun Highland tidbits and why we're banning small talk at LandCon

Season 8 may have ended, but we're choosing to emotionally regroup by pretending none of that happened and starting all over again.

If you enjoyed today's episode, we'd love it if you'd follow the podcast, leave us a review, and come say hi on Instagram @thatsoutlandishlyhot2.0

We're also making room for some of the things you've been asking for in our DMs: more recommendations, more behind-the-scenes stories, more personal tangents, and more of whatever weird internet rabbit hole we've fallen down this week.
