She ends up killing the wolf capably, but it obviously could have been a really difficult scene to film, and I’m not sure Outlander’s budget is high enough to justify a CGI wolf.
The wolves scene is cool in the books because she fends a giant wolf off all on her own after Jamie kicks her out of prison.
If you’ve ever read the books, you should know that the wolves scene was one of Claire’s biggest moments, at least in terms of action.
We often get to see her in perilous situations or saving lives with her healing abilities, but Jamie’s the one who is often kicking ass and taking names rather than Claire.
