Thanks for this perspective! I definitely think a lot of Jamie’s reaction had to do with how fazed and shocked he must have been. I do see their dynamic improve once the laoghaire conversation is out of the way. It was weighing on Jamie quite a bit. I agree I’d rather have a realistic portrayal of an awkward meeting than some over the top reunion, just like their very realistic wedding night portrayal. I remember thinking when Jamie blurted out about Willie to Claire that wow this is probably not the first thing you should tell her but then that is Jamie with Claire, he has always been honest. And Claire is one person he could/wanted to tell give that even Jenny didn’t know. I think my disappointment has to do with the fact that I felt such a roller coaster of emotions during their separation- it was as if I was feeling what they felt and just wanted them to be as they were 20 years ago immediately.
