If I weren’t desperate for her to get back to Jamie, I would very much want her and Joe to hook up.īrilliantly, Roger and Brianna gather up as many old coins as possible for Claire to take with her, as well as a history book, some scalpels, and assorted medical doo-dads. Obviously, Claire is still gorgeous (“a skinny white broad with too much hair and a great ass”) and he’s happy to tell her so. She decides to ask Joe if she’s sexually attractive, which is … uncomfortable. The past is even more racist than Harvard Medical School in the 1960s.Ĭlaire says, “What if he’s forgotten me?” and it’s very sweet and heartbreaking, but also nonsense because Jamie would NEVER. You can all go! Bring Roger! Bring Joe! Okay, probably not Joe. She makes it clear she doesn’t need Claire to stay for her sake. Brianna immediately says, “So you can go back!’ because she’s not an IDIOT. Yes, Claire is digging out the article! TELL HER YOU CAN GO BACK, TELL HER TO COME WITH.
They have a nice moment of mutual love and appreciation and communication. Brianna says Frank must have hated her for looking like Jamie, which we all know is horseshit because he was a great dad. You should always be with the love of your life! (Sandy is being exceptionally rude, but she’s right.) Claire comes clean to Brianna about who Sandy is, which is good. Sandy says Claire should have let him go, that he stayed for Brianna, and he should have been with Sandy because he was her true love. Frank’s lover Sandy is at the memorial ceremony, and it’s awkward. Meanwhile, Brianna shows Roger around campus and there’s a long boring interlude where they discuss architecture, which eventually gets around to being about whether or not history is a story, etc. YES! JOE! SO SMART! DO IT! LISTEN TO YOUR BUDDY, HE’S A COOL DUDE! (Duh.) Joe says he’s watched Claire live a half-life for 16 years, and if there’s a second chance, she should take it. She decides to tell Joe that the anonymous Scot is Brianna’s real father, and that’s the reason why she’s struggling so much at the moment. A white lady murder victim in the Caribbean. Claire correctly deduces that the bones are that of a murder victim, which Joe finds puzzling.
The next day, Claire’s desk is covered with human remains (bones, not gushy stuff) that an anthropologist sent over to determine a cause of death. She’s failing anyway, and maybe she wants to meet her bio dad? I totally get her hesitation to get her hopes up again, and Claire also doesn’t want to leave Brianna. COME ON CLAIRE, RIP THAT DOOR TO THE PAST BACK OPEN. Claire’s face is going a million miles a minute. It HAS to be Jamie, under (ding ding ding) the name Alexander Malcolm. Roger does come bearing good news: He’s found a 1765 article in which the author quotes something Claire said to him, as well as a poem by Robert Burns, who would have been six at the time. Brianna isn’t able to forget THE WHOLE UNBELIEVABLE THING, which I respect! If I learned my mom was a time-traveller, I wouldn’t be doing problem sets and writing essays about Paul Revere, that’s for sure. She and Claire were in the middle of a fight about her dropping out of Harvard and moving out. (He can’t quit her!) This is a long and expensive trip to make if no one knows you’re coming, Roger, which Brianna DEFINITELY doesn’t. Me too, B! Luckily for her, Roger is pulling up in a yellow cab. It’s their first Christmas without Frank, and Brianna is taking it hard. She gives him the bare-bones, no-time-travel version - a Scotsman! From her past! They went their separate ways! - but he’s not really buying it. Joe and Claire are sharing a drink in her office, and he knows that more went down in Scotland than she’s saying. Sometimes, he says, names are lost to history! Get it? Brianna, unfortunately, is failing out of college and she doesn’t want to tell her extremely nice professor why. It’s definitely Seattle Grace next to the amputation she did in the 1800s, of course.īrianna is at Harvard, not listening to her history professor as he drops some #realtalk about Paul Revere. It’s like Grey’s Anatomy, but with crummier tools.
We first see Claire elbow-deep in someone’s body, surgery-ing away with her buddy Joe. Why are we going back to Boston? NEEDLESS DELAYS. I’ll say this as calmly as I can: I need the reunion, and I need it now. Photo: Aimee Spinks/Starz Entertainment, LLC
