Outlander S05e01 Tv [upd] (VALIDATED)

The central tension of the episode revolves around Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) dual loyalty. We open with a striking visual: Jamie, dressed in the red coat of the British militia, receiving a ceremonial sword from Lieutenant Knox. It is a jarring image for long-time fans. Seeing the staunch Scot and Jacobite rebel don the colors of his former enemies is a testament to the impossible position the Frasers occupy.
