In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary and Blake break down Outlander Season 8 Episode 4, "Muskets, Liberty, and Sauerkraut," and ask the big question: does Fergus learning he may be the Comte St. Germain's son actually deepen the season, or is it just classic premium-grade Outlander soap? They dig into Fergus and Marsali, Buck's surprise return, Lord John continuing to be one of the most human characters on the board, the Claire/Fanny/Faith thread the show keeps teasing, and why Jamie and Ian's goodbye works better as a scene than the prayer that follows it.

Mary comes in much hotter on the episode than Blake, so there's real disagreement in this one too. They also get into why William and Amaranthus feel completely out of pocket right now, whether Percy is telling the truth, and why Roger keeps getting thrown into chaos every five minutes.

Mary's Kilt Rating: 4.8 / 5 Blake's Kilt Rating: 3.99 / 5

Question for the comments: Did the Fergus reveal actually deepen the season for you — or did it just feel like classic Outlander Dynasty Mode?
