Here is a NEW Interview with Caitriona Balfe from TV Line
From TV Line:

Even though some time has passed since Claire was ripped away from Jamie and the 1700s, the loss is still very raw for the new mother. “It’s a hard thing to imagine how somebody copes with grief and at the same time has to build a new life,” Balfe says, referring in part to the episode’s big finish: the birth of Claire and Jamie’s daughter, Brianna. “There’s two very opposite things pulling at Claire. And in a way, she really is going through the motions.”

Caitriona was right – the Claire we all know from the past would have put that patronizing nobody in his place pronto. I could just feel my blood pressure go up a couple of notches just watching the clip. Claire certainly has a lot of challenges to face, plus the lose of Jamie.
