Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
The home of the leaders of Clan MacKenzie, Castle Leoch, was front and center in tonight's episode. We saw it before when Frank and Claire visited the ruins in the 20th century, but now we know how it used to be. It's a bustling place full of people who don't trust Claire, and you get an idea of the very real danger she’s in.
She's in a precarious position. Jamie reminds her she's English in a place where that's not a positive heritage to have, while Dougal has her followed, and Colum tries to get her drunk in order to interrogate her. She always has to be on her game lest she slip up. You tense up on her behalf throughout the episode. To those wondering why she doesn't simply explain she's traveled through time, consider that most people wouldn't believe her in our time. In the 18th century, she'd be considered a witch or worse for stating such things and probably be killed. It's not an option.
