One of the early episodes of Outlander's second season, this installment introduces viewers to the season's overarching story. It showcases Jamie and Claire starting their adventures in France and is full of intrigue, making it fascinating to watch.
2. The Wedding (Season 1, Episode 7)
Unsurprisingly, this episode, revolving around Claire and Jamie's wedding and their adjustment to each other, is a fan favorite. Showcasing the characters' burgeoning yet awkward romance, this episode serves as the beginning of a journey that spans seven seasons.
1. The Gathering (Season 1, Episode 4)
