So did Sandy really deserve the final word?

People have a tendency to jump on teams and take sides with things.

But life is always much more complicated than that, Balfe told me.

Generally its circumstances that cause people to act in a certain way.

That was Claires choice.

It doesnt just affect Claire or Jamie.

It affects the marriage.

It affects Briannas childhood, it affects this other womans life.

Living with secrets from the Claire and Frank perspective has repercussions beyond the couple.

I dont think she would have been choosing a parent, Balfe said.

I think if she would have gone to England, it would have been to choose an opportunity.

Frank tries to make her a pawn, I suppose.

She wouldnt want to play that role.

But if it was to just go be with her father, probably not.
