‘Outlander’ Review: Wedding Preparations and an Old Foe Lay the Groundwork for a Major Confrontation
Who knew that the fifth season of “Outlander” would feature so many weddings? While Jocasta (Maria Doyle Kennedy) and Duncan Innes (Alastair Findlay) didn’t actually tie the knot in “Better to Marry Than to Burn,” their wedding preparations anchored an action-packed episode full of reunions, plans, and well-earned second chances.
The installment kicked off with a flashback to Jocasta tragically losing her daughter, a scene that gave viewers new insight into her current disposition and further explains her choice to settle for Duncan despite her feelings for Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix). When the Regulator leader showed up at the end of the episode to declare his love and ask her to wait, it was a tense scene packed with emotional showcases for two characters that didn’t necessarily get to dig into those moments in the Diana Gabaldon novels.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the sixth episode of “Outlander” Season 5, entitled “Better to Marry Than Burn.”
It’s no secret that Maria Doyle Kennedy is a talented actress — but if anyone didn’t know before, they do now after watching “Outlander’s” latest episode, “Better to Marry Than Burn.” The thrust of the action this week was Jocasta’s (Kennedy) wedding to Duncan Innes (Alastair Findlay) at River Run, which meant it was time to talk about “the Frenchman’s gold,” a key plot point from the novel “The Fiery Cross.”
In a flashback, we saw how Jocasta and her husband, Hector Cameron (Christopher Bowen), were on the run after the Jacobite rebellion was ended at the Battle of Culloden. They had in their possession a box of gold sent by King Louis Xv of France to aid in Charles Stuart’s rebellion against the British crown.
