And so does Roger.
It’s good that Claire (Caitriona Balfe) is a physician, unbothered by blood and missing appendages.
She’s also pretty good at waving a sword while threatening to kill someone.

That woman picking through Jamie’s pockets didn’t stand a chance.
Why is he passed out on the front lines?
How come he can’t get over his stupid hero complex?

He could have been killed, and she is furious.
Jamie eventually allows her to vent as she cleans his hand.
He learns that Ian (John Bell) is alive (good) and that we won the battle.

Jamie’s mood is somber, which makes perfect sense.
He’s worried about William (Charles Vandervaart).
A victory for him could be the death of his son.
The rebels are causing quite a stir.
Jamie waves off the compliment.
He would do it again to save 10 men.
Claire silently cries as she realizes this stupid hero complex isn’t going anywhere soon.
Fast forward two weeks, and Jamie’s hand is looking pretty good.
Way to go, Dr. Claire!
Ian notices his aunty’s lack of enthusiasm at this encouraging news and presses her to spill the beans.
A healthy hand means Jamie will be going back to war.
How will she manage?
Speaking of managing, how is Rollo still alive after eating an entire canister of goose grease?
Sure, she slapped his face for such shenanigans.
Ian is not playing around.
And it sounds like Rachel might be interested in following in the wayward footsteps of her brother.
Asking him to pray about Ian meant there were definite vibes.
Her heavy breathing was also a dead giveaway.
Meanwhile, a man visits Claire’s tent to inquire about a trade.
Neither Jamie nor Claire mentions the name Robert Browning since he hasn’t been born yet.
He laughs, appalled that he just snagged some much-needed bark without introducing himself.
Everyone, say hello to Benedict Arnold.
Jamie wonders why Claire looks shocked.
The men will follow General Arnold anywhere.
Didn’t she enjoy his company?
He’s so fun and charming!
Claire wastes no time spilling the tea.
This guy becomes disillusioned, switches sides, and goes down in history as nothing more than a traitor.
What if they stop him?
Suddenly, the scene switches to the second battle of Saratoga.
Daniel Morgan is shouting for his gunmen to put a bullet through General Simon Fraser (Angus Macfadyen).
This results in the hat blowing off a stunned soldier’s head.
That soldier is William.
Obviously, this rattles Jamie for a few seconds.
The Brits become confused as their leader is whisked away, and they begin to retreat.
The rebels run after them in full force, following Benedict Arnold’s lead.
Jamie manages to make it all the way to the fort.
Everything seems to be in slow motion as he searches frantically for his son.
Ian saves Jamie once or twice with a tomahawk because that’s what Ian does.
Then Jamie spies General Arnold, injured.
He should have died on the battlefield.
Then he launches a defensive rant about how he has constantly been robbed of honor and promotion.
Claire assures him he will be.
His cousin Simon is about to die and has requested Jamie’s presence.
Claire leaves Jamie to say his peace and runs into William outside.
Claire steals away to inform Jamie that William is right there.
Then he walks away without another word.
He finally spoke to his son as a man.
That’s all Jamie needed.
That someone is James Fraser.
Poor Ian has to leave his dog and his heart with Rachel.
Thanks to a ride on one of His Majesty’s ships, the Frasers are back in Scotland!
