Jem says the stone is hot, which confuses Ian because to him it feels cool.
To Jamie and Ian, the stone feels cold.
The discovery is interrupted by the Browns and a group of rough-looking men.
They come asking Jamie to join their newly formed Committee of Safety to help protect colonists.
Later, Claire tells Jamie that Bree promised Roger they’d return to the future if Jem could travel.
It recounts Otter Tooth’s inability to discover where exactly in time he had ended up.
Claire tells Ian the truththat she, Roger, and Brianna are all from 200 years in the future.
Ian takes it surprisingly well, admitting he always thought Claire might be a faerie.
Claire and Jamie go to visit him and warn him about the roaming Committee of Safety.
They also bring him a book to pass the time.
But he chose not to leave Jocasta.
Back at their cabin, Roger and Bree debate what might’ve caused Jemmy to shatter the opal.
Not only that, but they’re all living a life they were never meant to.
But Ian asks about whether or not they could stay and change things.
He remembers that Claire and Jamie tried to stop Charles Stuart.
It’s simply not possible.
Lord John comes to visit and tells Jamie it is time for him to return to England.
Lord Dunsany has died, making William the ninth earl as soon as he comes of age.
He has to return to make arrangements for the estate and prepare William for his position.
He promises they’ll return to Virginia someday.
Even John acknowledges that a storm is coming in the colonies.
Later that night, Claire tells Jamie she asked Bree to draw portraits to remember them by.
Claire puts on perfume, but before anything sexy can happen Jamie falls asleep.
Later that night, she wakes up having a hot flash and stands in the window.
Then, Jamie makes his way downtown.
That’s one way to combat a hot flash.
The next morning Claire is examining something through her microscope and shares it with Jamie.
We needed this scene, why?
He explains about his time on the estate and his brief relationship with Geneva.
Bree says William looks like Jamie.
He explains how Lord John became the boy’s father.
He wanted her to know she had more of her blood in the world.
She tells him they’ll leave in a week.
Bree has become like a sister to her.
Oh, and they have another baby on the way.
Damn Fergus wastes no time.
Bree gets emotional, saying leaving everyone behind will be the hardest thing she’s ever done.
She tells Lizzie she has to stay and look after her parents.
Lizzie tells Bree she’s the bravest person she’s ever know, and they share a tearful embrace.
Lionel Brown comes back to the Ridge, seeking Jamie’s final answer on the Committee of Safety.
Jamie reiterates his refusal, saying he needs to look after his family.
Lionel also brought his wife to see Claire.
She has a broken wrist and Claire intimates that this injury is triggered by someone twisting it.
Lionel returns and spots the name Dr. Rawlings in Claire’s medical kit.
He rushes his wife out.
Bree fears if Jamie and Claire go with them, she won’t have the courage to leave.
Bree approaches Lord John, telling him she knows William is his brother.
Lord John says they are both very like Jamie, kind, courageous, and with a temper.
He says he wishes he could tell William about her.
Bree and Roger emotionally watch Jamie play with Jem on a horse.
She and Claire hug.
They all share a final family dinner, for which Claire has made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
True story, when I lived in England, it was super hard to find peanut butter anywhere.
You don’t know what you have until it’s gone!
Jamie toasts to home, family, and great health.
The next morning they ride off in the wagon to travel to the stones.
She and Jamie share a sad embrace.
She tells Ian she loves him and asks him to take care of her parents.
They touch the stones and disappear, which Ian marvels at.
They land in a pile of leaves and Bree says she feels turn inside out.
Jem wanders off, and Roger and Bree stare at something we cannot see in shock.
But suddenly, a group of men rush in.
It’s the men who were with the Browns, the so-called Committee of Safety.
They attack and stab people in the house, knocking Marsali out.
The men return to the house and Fergus is disturbed to find his son wandering around.
The boy tells him that Marsali won’t wake up and that the bad man took grandmama.
What do you think Sassenachs?
Are you surprised Bree and Roger chose to leave?
What do you think they’re shocked to see after traveling through the stones?
Are you worried for Claire’s life now that she’s been kidnapped?
