What makes for good television on any broadcast network is a strong beginning with a clear villain who, in the end, dies and the man and woman live happily ever after. Obviously, "Outlander" is not on a broadcast television network; it's on Starz.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Episode 15, titled "Wentworth Prison," featured some of the most nauseating, hard-to-watch moments on television. This brings up memories of "The Shield's" greatest scenes. But apparently, this episode has surpassed that legacy, with much anticipation by starving audiences.

It seems as though Black Jack Randall saved Jamie from the noose in a weird twist of fate, only to be the pawn he unknowingly wishes to use against Claire later on. He did not save MacQuarrie, who was hanged along with a whole mess of other men.

Randall has reached the peak of his sinister sexual stake into Jamie's life. He has become obsessed with breaking Jamie to the point of physical and emotional derailment. Randall had taken him into the secluded cell where torture was about to begin. There was a moment when Randall asked Jamie if he awoke in the middle of the night from nightmares that featured him as the lead character. Jamie, who is still the strong highland warrior, countered, though, and told him it was he himself who saw Jamie's face every night, which took Randall by surprise and even infuriated him.

There was a scene where Randall had Jamie's left hand smashed with a large hammer, a scene which played out in graphic detail to the viewers. Jamie's smashed hand, with the bone exposed, seemed to be enough to force anyone normal person to faint. He was also nearly choked to death by Randall's servant Marley -- Randall prevented Marley from finishing Jamie off.

When Jamie's hand was smashed, Claire had been wandering around the prison covertly, trying to locate his cell. The scream Jamie let out after the smash is what led her to him. During a brief moment of Randall being gone, she entered the cell to save him. But it was futile, and when he returned, she fought him in a truly inspiring scene. But Randall got the upper-hand on her and when she was on the verge of death, Jamie agreed to become Randall's sexual submissive in return for her safety.

Randall agreed to this, but Jamie was forced to submit to a kiss to prove he was telling the truth. Jamie agreed and Randall nailed his battered hand to the table while they did the deed in front of Claire.

Randall is satisfied with the deal and he escorts Claire out, but not before she reveals to him the date of his death, which sends him on an emotional roller coaster. He wafted her through an escape hatch that landed her on the pile of hanged dead men, which included the not yet rotten MacQuarrie.

Claire reconvenes with Murtaugh and the crew and they plan another rescue effort; he reveals to her that they can indeed save Jamie.

Geeks of Doom reports that there will be a hiatus this week, then the season finale is expected to air on May 30.
