In September 1777, Jamie and Claire are at Bermis Heights in New York when the episode opens. Jamie’s new post as colonel for Daniel Morgan is disclosed in a letter from Claire to Bree along with their current whereabouts. She conveys a conflicted sense of optimism and uneasiness. We get hints of Claire’s tenacity and her capacity to endure the strain of battle throughout the entire show.
Bree Rog shares romantic moments
A worry for Brianna and Roger is that Buck might show up. Rob is excessively interested in perusing the Rev. Wakefield’s hymnals. Bree feels sorry for him. When he does go, he thinks about whether or not Jem would be interested in visiting Rob’s house to play with Bobby, a classmate and Rob’s nephew. Roger and Bree gladly agree, relieved that their visitor is leaving. As soon as Rob has left, Brianna and Roger sprinted to the priest’s hole, only to find it deserted. The truth regarding Buck’s death year on the family tree is revealed by Roger. Long after Rob has left, Rog and Bree have some passionate sex on the camper’s fold-out couch to the tune of Phil Collins‘ “In the Air Tonight.”
The worst family reunion ever for Bree and Roger
Roger confronts Bree about her emotional reading of Claire’s letter when they are back at the Broch de Lally. He interrupts her by bringing in William Buckley MacKenzie, also known as Buck, a man he had earlier punched. After this, Roger is no longer angry with Buck for the hanging, and he and Bree make plans for Bree to maintain watch over the time traveler the next day before returning him to the stones on Saturday.
They were shocked to learn that Buck was the one who rescued Claire from captivity. However, when Buck starts inquiring about Roger’s wife, the situation turns uncomfortable. Roger discloses that Jeremiah is named after Buck’s kid and that Morag is his five or six times great-grandmother.
A Tragedy of a Farewell
Before Jamie heads out to fight, Claire and Jamie share a heartfelt moment. Jamie gives Claire a book but thinks she needs reading glasses to properly read it. They express their love and desire for a post-war reunion in a touching sequence. Knowing the risks Jamie is in raises the moment’s gravity.
Rob’s deception and Jemmy’s kidnapping
In the middle of the confusion, Jemmy disappears, and Brianna (Sophie Skelton), Roger, and Buck rush to find him. When they peruse the contents of a mystery chest, they learn the truth: Jemmy has been abducted by the dishonest Rob Cameron. The upsetting news makes viewers uneasy as they worry about Jemmy’s security.
Midway through the night, Roger gets up and goes to check on his study, where he discovers that someone has rummaged through his box of letters. Mandy cries at that very moment, and when her parents rush to soothe her, she claims that Jem isn’t present. They comfort her that he is simply staying the night at Rob’s nephew’s house, but she makes it clear that she is no longer aware of their shared mental connection since “That bad man took him.” When Bobby’s mother is called, she learns that there was no overnight and that Rob’s car has vanished.
While Buck and Roger are traveling to Craigh na Dun, Roger screams, “He knew,” assuming Rob read the letters and deduced that the family was able to travel across time. When Buck inquires as to whether there are any others capable of doing so, Roger casually mentions Geilis Duncan. This prompts him to reflect on her blood-sacrifice notion and increases his fear for his son. When they get to the buzzing stones, nobody is there. Roger, though, is distraught as they discover Jem’s scarf and the Tufty Club safety-education pin the boy had received in school.
William Facing the War Reality
William encounters the harshness of war at a crucial juncture when his best friend Hammond is murdered by an errant gunshot. William is affected by the tragedy, and he starts to understand the grim truths of war.
There is a lot of cutting, bleeding, and passing away. After that, William is devastated as he watches the military dig graves for the dead, among them his friend. He reprimands the men for performing a sloppy job after they claim that the holes are deep enough, then he drops his coat and picks up a shovel, which his superiors observe with interest. Later, Lord Ellsemere mocks the generals as they toast their “victory” in front of him. Fraser, who has just arrived, remarks that William is “a different man now” than he was prior to the altercation.
Jamie’s future and the cliffhanger
A tragic cliffhanger: On another part of the battlefield, Jamie laying on the battlefield, seemingly dead, signals the end of the episode. The final scene focuses on Jamie as the camera moves over the dead troops. He is shown in the episode’s final frame with his face in the grass, appearing to be dying, if not already dead.
