Fans of the show took to Twitter after watching the latest instalment and praised the action-packed episode, which delivered as much humour as it did tragedy. One person wrote: "Season one episode two was a fascinating watch. No spoilers, but I loved the entire episode, filled with comedy, drama, tragic history, and trauma. I felt the entire cast was at the 'Top of their game' in executing this wonderful adaption of your writing @Writer_DG," while another viewer added: "The whole episode was outstanding! Great writing! Beautiful acting! The pacing was perfect! I’m still excited about it! Can't wait to rewatch it! Makes my heart happy!!"

Marsali finally gave birth in episode two

A third fan commented: "I loved this ep, already watched it two times. Once they decided to go back to the source material, the episodes are just better since you can't improve on perfection. It was funny, sad and beautiful. The acting by all was terrific. So far I'm loving this season, but also dreading the end."

Caitríona took to Instagram on Sunday morning to tease the episode. Sharing a promo shot for the episode, she wrote: "Episode two….. Out today!!!! Things get tense on the ridge!!!"

Another week to wait for another episode, but I am happy that @outlander_starz is back," while another added: "It was phenomenal!"
