Dive deeper into this episode with exclusive sketches, production designs, and fun facts delivered directly from the Outlander crew.
Claire’s Ring
Said Executive Producer Maril Davis, “In my opinion, this is the ultimate love token. In Season 1, we wanted to do a story similar to the book where Jamie has a ring made of lace and thistles to signify Scotland but we elected to do the ring from the key of Lallybroch as a symbol of the key to his heart. This season, we had the chance to create that original ring. In the book, Bonnet takes Frank’s simple gold band but this would be more generic… This gives the chance for Jamie to take his mother’s silver candlestick, gifted to him by Jocasta, and to have his godfather Murtagh fashion a new ring—a creative twist which we hope will be a fan favorite.”
The Measles
Getting covered in measles took a lot of work from the Outlander hair and make-up department. Fun fact: David Berry filmed the scenes where Lord John Grey is most ill on his birthday—so he ate his birthday cake covered in red spots.
Wardrobe: William
Said Co-Costume Designer Nina Ayers, “I wanted William to look as much ‘The Little Lord’ as possible and therefore used the finest materials to create his costumes. The cream linen ‘playsuit’ which he wears was designed to link to Jamie’s black linen suit, although purposely ‘impractical’ with the color choice. His silk ‘dinner suit’ is reminiscent of Lord John Grey’s suits, with the contrasting turn back collar. I wanted to show links to both fathers. The fur lined velvet hunting coat was designed to show his wealth but also to help deal with the practicalities of shooting in Scotland in the middle of winter.”
