Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLotte Verbeek's character, Geillis Duncan, has the same name as a real 16th-century Scottish woman who was the first person accused of being a witch in Scotland. The whole witch trial madness stemmed from her accusation.
- GoofsThe last witch executed in Scotland was in 1707 - a generation before the time of this story. The last witch trial was also well before 1743, and the rescinding of the 1563 act, which is mentioned in the episode, was observed in Scotland. Furthermore the (earlier) enthusiasm for seeking out witches was largely a phenomenon of the Lowland Scots and was quite rare in the Highlands.

Featured review
Worn out witch-trial trope
This series has really grown on me, despite (or maybe because of) the soap opera melodrama and lazy exposition via wedged-in voiceover inner monologues, but I'm surprised this episode got such high marks. It was the first time in the entire series I felt like skipping over scenes... I resisted, just barely. Not awful, and it ended in a decent place but the first 25 minutes were a bit irritating and tedious. Nothing to spoil... witch trial says it all. You've seen it before, folks. (And in better form.)
