Meanwhile, Ian saves William’s life and we are introduced to Denzell and Rachel Hunter.
That was two years ago, and unfortunately, the Mackenzies have not found the lost Jacobite gold.
Bree is a lady of the ’80s and will stop at nothing to provide for her family.

We later learn that this moxie is the cause of Roger’s moody behavior.
Bree assures Roger they will be fine, and he is everything she ever wanted in a husband.
Do they chalk it up to the imagination?

Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan); Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe).Starz
Or do they need to investigate what Jemmy can “hear” when it comes to fanciful folklore?
Things get rowdy, and a fellow soldier abuses a prostitute.
Once he delivers the letters, he is to report to New York for his military assignment.

Rachel Hunter (Izzy Meikle-Small); Dr. Denzell Hunter (Joey Phillips).Robert Wilson/Starz
That is, if he doesn’t die.
What he doesn’t expect is a snake in the middle of the trail, which spooks his horse.
Will venom take the young man out?

Young Ian (John Bell); Rachel Hunter (Izzy Meikle-Small).Robert Wilson/Starz
When Jamie calmly explains his travel plans, Harnett threatens to force Jamie to sign the paper.
They are low on their quota of men, after all.
Or Jamie could send someone in his place.
Either way, a name will be written on the paper.
He’s uninterested in doing it for freedom or winning, but he’s fighting for their family.
Both will be heading to Fort Ticonderoga in the morning.
He is to get on that boat immediately!
Ian will get back to Scotland.
They all three will return one day.
And what does young Ian find?
William struggling to stay alive in the woods.
Apparently, no person or animal is going to kill this man.
He’s going to die by a stick.
What in the world?
Then he uses his big knife to pick out bits of wood from William’s disgusting-looking wound.
William asks Ian if it’s true that the Mowhawk faces death with no signs of outward distress.
Poor William is unable to conjure any words other than his own name.
The guy hasn’t lived!
He has nothing to proclaim or brag about in his hypothetical last hours on this earth.
Exactly, Ian prompts.
William needs to live so he can generate some super cool stories for his deathbed.
Then Ian pours boiling hot water over William’s wound, and we all groan as it bubbles up.
It lasted as long as it took you to read this sentence.
Is Claire making out with a ghost in Colonial Williamsburg?
Tom didn’t diethat day he turned himself in for the murder of his daughter.
But he’s not the only one surprised to see a dead person walking.
Tom assumed Claire and Jamie died inthe fire at Fraser’s Ridge.
In fact, he put an obituary in the newspaper as a sign of respect!
Tom asks if Claire told Jamie that he was in love with her.
He said it while smiling a sad smile.
Do we feel sorry for Tom or entirely creeped out?
I’ll let you decide.
Claire is worth it.
Do you know who isn’t having a cushy time in the woods?
William is so sick, Ian has flung him on his horse and frantically tries to find help.
This comes in the form ofbrother/sister duo Denzell (Joey Phillips) and Rachel Hunter (Izzy-Meikle Small).
Is a stick going to take this man down?
Although entirely alarming to the rest of us, the good doctor swears this is excellent news.
The arm will not be amputated.
William does not need to devise a quick, jaunty death song on the fly.
Ian leaves the next morning, but not before sending out some big time vibes in Rachel’s direction.
It seems the Scottish Mowhawk is fond of the Quaker nurse.
Later, Rachel shares with William that he came in the nick of time.
She and her brother are leaving the homestead to head north.
Samuel Cartwright is the recipient of one of his letters.
Will father and son reunite?
And which side of the line will each be fighting?
