‘Outlander’ episode 15 preview: ‘Wentworth Prison’ and terrors for Sam Heughan’s Jamie
Through the entirety of “Outlander” Saturday night, there was a key and obvious omission: Jamie Fraser. While we knew that he was still out there alive, he was definitely not in an ideal position due to his imprisonment.
We are definitely going to be seeing much more of Sam Heughan as the character during next week’s new episode entitled “Wentworth Prison,” but we cannot exactly sit here right now and tell you with optimism that we envision some happy times are ahead for the character. Given that Black Jack Randall is going to be spending some time with him again, we anticipate pain … and some of the worst variety of it that he has seen so far. Don’t anticipate any happy endings during this episode, and be pleasantly surprised if one comes courtesy of Claire and her small but mighty Highlander army.
If you have not seen the synopsis for this episode below yet (short as it may be), take a look:
“At Wentworth Prison, Jamie’s execution day approaches, while Claire and the Highlanders contemplate a rescue plan. Later, Jamie receives an unsettling visit from Black Jack.”
Ultimately, we feel like this is going to be a dark, action-packed episode, and one that will in many ways be a counterpoint to “The Search,” which we found at times to be one of the lightest and even the funniest episodes that we’ve seen all season. Given that this episode is carrying into the finale, you have to imagine that surprises will lie around every corner (and the same could be said for possible cliffhangers).
What do you want to see on “Outlander” next week? Share now in the comments.

Due to the brave commitment of the main actors in this episode I feel compelled to watch but will be dreading doing so. I know the images will mean some very bad sleepless nights thereafter. When I first read this part in the book I had a very bad time. Shaking and crying whilst reading then never getting the images out of my head for a long time.
I’ll be watching but with a large cushion to hide behind, a large box of hankies and some Whisky to dull the senses.
I have read this book four times now and still find Wentworth and some of the Abbey scenes difficult to read without pausing.
Courage everyone!!

Although, I know I will cringe at the thought of our handsome, honrable Jamie being hurt, I am still going to watch, but perhaps look away at the beatings, but I am watching to supporrt Sam, Cait, The producers, writers, other cast, and Diana Galbadon. The series came to being for the fans and as a loyal fan I will watch this ep as will all my friends. We owe to thei hatd work of Sam and Tobias, it is in yhe books. If you love Outlandet, this part of Outlander.

You were right to have mentioned the “hard work” of Sam and Tobias. Reading the books now. Apprehensive about tuning in to see the Wentworth episode. Need to watch with friends and not alone.

I am dreading this episode. I could not watch as Jamie was beaten by Black Jack in an earlier episode. It was so brutal and disturbing. I have read the book and dread next week. I hope they do not show as much as the book describes. It will sicken me to see Jamie treated in that degrading manner. I am also wondering how the last part of the story can be shown in one episode. I want Season one to end on a happy note. Claire and Jamie’s love story has to survive as do both characters.

We have 2 episodes left, not just 1… Wentworth Prison & then To Ransom A Man’s Soul, which should leave us on a happy note, where the end of book 1 leaves us.

Yes, I assume one at Wentworth prison though and then the final one in the Abbey, don’t you think? I was referring to the final episode which I assume will be after Wentworth but covers a bit of time frame. I certainly hope it will leave us where the book leaves us with a “satisfying” ending as Sam Hueghan has said.

If it goes as it does in the book & Diana is saying it does, we should see the rescue 1st, then what happened at Wentworth as flashback sequences as he tells Claire everything.
The Abbey scenes will be difficult too, since Jamie is still very damaged, but should end happily. Having said that, we all know how much Ron loves a good cliffhanger… LOL

Love the show, I have never read the books so I don’t know exactly what happens, only know somethings by interviews, newsletters, You Tubes comments etc, always look forward to every episode.
The episode “The Search” I kept waiting for Jamie to appear and gotta say I was very
disapppinted when he didn’t, I don’t know but it didn’t have the same feel and like
something was missing.

No ye ken how Claire feels…

I felt exactly the same way. I love Claire and Jenny and Murtagh, but Jamie and the love between Jamie and Claire is the reason I watch. I missed him, too.

I think I’m going to watch it, even though I know what’s coming. I’ll get all upset and drink wine.

I’m intentionally trying to miss that episode. I just can’t take scenes like that–ever. They stick with me. So sad.
