Source: HDTVrip (High Definition Television Rip) Original Air Date: August 23, 2014 Episode Synopsis In this pivotal third episode of the Starz adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s novel, Claire Beauchamp Randall continues to navigate the treacherous politics of 18th-century Scotland. Still trapped in the past and married to the gallant Highlander Jamie Fraser as a form of protection, Claire begins to realize that her 20th-century medical knowledge might be her only currency—and her greatest danger.

Titled “The Way Out,” the episode focuses on Claire’s struggle between silent assimilation and active compassion. When a mysterious pox begins afflicting the children of Castle Leoch, the clan’s healer, Geillis Duncan, is unable to find a cure. Claire, unable to watch children suffer, steps forward with a remedy derived from garlic and honey—a treatment centuries ahead of its time. Her actions draw both gratitude and suspicion, especially from the wary Colum MacKenzie and his manipulative brother, Dougal.
